His final scoring run (69 yards) clinched the victory and was the longest play from scrimmage for Yale through five games. For the day, Varga compiled 184 rushing yards on 25 carries.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth junior defensive back Frankie Hernandez (Miami) collected eight tackles and picked off his first career pass during in the Big Green's 24-21 victory. Hernandez' interception from his nickelback position helped keep the momentum on Dartmouth's side as it came just six plays after the Big Green had turned the ball over early in the second quarter with the score tied.
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

ReplyDeleteThank you for coming Yale and help turn this program around.
Sincerely Jon Harris
BEAT PENN AND BEAT THEM WELL
Why doesn't Varga have another year?
ReplyDeleteBecause Buddy Teevens stole it
ReplyDeleteCan he appeal?
ReplyDeleteI Was just thinking the same thing
ReplyDeletebut as medical red shirt.
Jon Harris
He may be anxious to get to the next level....Imagine another year with Varga, Bulldogs would be unstopable!!!
ReplyDeleteThat won't happen but Yale had more than they have had in many a years. Rich is a very good back.
ReplyDeleteSalters is a very special back.
Barton is no chopped liver.
The Oline although Carbery and Chism leaving they have Ross and Bezney, Chang and Anders
It is special time for Yale football.
Have more thoughts on this but I have to go.Until next time
Cheers BEAT PENN ,JON Harris
Reno has you sipping on the kool aid.
ReplyDeleteYou don't even know if Varga wants to continue with football, he is at Yale so his options are wide open. I would think he would have a few red flags for the NFL teams.
ReplyDeleteSure he wants to see if he can do it.The kid likes to compete in everything.
ReplyDeleteNo it is not all he wants to do in life. Like rich Diana he wants to be a Doctor.
What red flags are you talking about.? his work ethic speaks for
themself.
Jon Harris
Buddy, the only red flags that I can see is the ones with the maple leaf that the fans wave when he scores. Kid is a model citizen and fiercest competitor you will ever see. I think the NFL is in dire need of an image clean up and a few Tyler Vargas would go a long way to achieving this. Stop causing shit and enjoy the once in a century occurrence.
