"We've got to play real hard to get a win against a team that has demonstrated clearly that they're a good football team," Murphy said.
And with such tremendous momentum on its side, Dartmouth's 1-5 record may be quite deceiving.
"[Their record]'s definitely deceptive," said senior quarterback Brad Wilford. "They're real physical and aggressive on defense."

Last week the Big Green sacked Cornell quarterback Ricky Rahne seven times.
"We had a difficult time getting to [Rahne] and I think we've got a pretty solid defensive line," said Murphy.
The Crimson offensive line will have to play special attention to defensive standouts Steve Varney and Brad Eissler, who have 59 and 56 tackles, respectively. Varney has also notched two sacks this season.
