Brown captured the lead with an explosive third quarter--scoring 18 points on two touchdowns, a safety and a field goal--and held on for the victory.

Army, 41-3

Undefeated Army amassed 525 total yards--449 on the ground alone--en route to a 41-3 thrashing of Penn at Philadelphia Saturday.

Following an eight-yard punt that was killed by the wind, Dartmouth (now 0-2) took over at the UNH 35 on its second possession. Eight plays later, Ernie Torain rumbled over from the one for what proved to be the Big Green's only score.
