Dartmouth Scores Late and Edges Penn 14-10
Seven points in the first quarter, a field goal in the second and then nothing at all for most of the second half. Dartmouth beat Pennsylvania 14-10 in a game with exactly four scoring plays, and the last two came in the final nine minutes.
Grayson Saunier found Ky'Dric Fisher from 16 yards with 3:36 left in the first quarter, and that was it for Dartmouth until the fourth. Mason Walters cut it to 7-3 with a 26-yard field goal with 0:33 left in the first half. Pennsylvania took its only lead when Sean Williams Jr ran in from a yard out with 8:47 to play, 10-7. Dartmouth answered with 4:55 left: Myles Craddock ran it in from 2 yards for the 14-10 final.
It was tight on the stat sheet too. Pennsylvania outgained Dartmouth 360 yards to 312 (214 passing and 146 rushing to 173 and 139) and did not turn the ball over, but neither did Dartmouth, so the extra 48 yards bought nothing. Saunier was 13 of 15 for 173 yards, a lot of completions for not very many yards. Craddock carried 21 times for 85 yards, and that is the sort of grinding that wins a 14-10 game.
The records tell the same story: Dartmouth is 1-2, and Pennsylvania is also 1-2. Take away the Craddock touchdown and Pennsylvania wins 10-7. Dartmouth went more than 40 minutes of game time between its first score and its second.
For fantasy, this was a low-scoring week. Craddock led all players with 16.5 Promethium points, Saunier had 16.2, and Mason Page of Pennsylvania caught eight passes for 64 yards and 14.4.
