Dartmouth Never Trails, Rolls past Columbia 38-18
Three interceptions from Chase Goodwin, zero turnovers from Dartmouth, and a quarterback who ran for three touchdowns. That is the whole story of a 38-18 Dartmouth win, and the box score does not argue with any of it.
The Big Green scored first, on a 14-yard Myles Craddock run, and never gave the lead back. Columbia did get as close as 14-10 when Goodwin hit Hutch Crow for 30 yards in the second quarter, but Grayson Saunier answered with a 1-yard touchdown run at 0:55 of the half and added another from a yard out in the third for a 28-10 lead. Columbia pulled to 28-18 early in the fourth on a 14-yard pass to Bryce Coleman and a two-point conversion, and that was as close as it came. Owen Zalc kicked a 41-yard field goal, then Saunier broke a 68-yard run with 1:42 left to close it out.
Dartmouth ran 45 times for 248 yards and threw only 24 passes, completing 14 for 172. Columbia threw for 209 yards on 20 of 40 and finished with 355 total yards to Dartmouth's 420. Three picks do that to a day. (Goodwin still put up 20.2 fantasy points, so he was not the one hurting anybody's lineup.)
Dartmouth is 3-3 and Columbia drops to 4-2. Of Saunier's 96 rushing yards, 68 came on that last carry, which means the other ten carries went for 28. He did not need more.
Fantasy takeaway: Saunier's 34.5 points were his season high, and he did it without a passing touchdown. Crow was the best of the Columbia pass catchers with 22.4.
