From the Ivy League...
CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth senior quarterback Dalyn Williams (Corinth, Texas) started off the Ivy League slate in record-breaking fashion in the Big Green's 41-20 win at Penn, completing 92 percent of his passes (23-of-25) to top a school mark that had stood for 53 years. Williams threw for 336 yards and four touchdowns, the latter matching a personal best. He also ran the ball 13 times for 73 yards and Dartmouth's other two scores. Each of Williams' touchdown tosses came from further out, starting with eight yards, then 22, 30 and finally 43. His 409 total yards mark the third time he has topped 400 yards in a game, as many as all other players in school history.

With help from an outstanding push from the offensive line, Salter rambled, juked, sprinted, dove and plowed his way to 233 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged eight yards per attempt, registering the fifth-best day for a Yale running back while scoring from two and 42 yards. The later was the back breaker that put the game away late in the third quarter.

Yale could be in a world of hurt this Saturday against Williams if Oluokun is not 100% or isn't able to play..... I could have sworn I saw him walk out of the locker room after the half with his arm in a sling... Maybe it was just a precaution...
ReplyDeleteNot sure if he even made the trip. He sat out the Cornell game. Doesn't he have a hand issue?
ReplyDeleteI believe Fite played early in the Lehigh game wearing a flexible cast on an arm. I agree that we need him badly vs Dartmouth. The kid from Panola County in Deep East Texas, Dalwyn Williams, D's QB, is burning up the league.
DeleteChris; What happened at the JV game against Brown on Sunday.
