Week Three of the Ivy League slate is upon us, but before getting to this week’s action, let’s take a look at how last week’s predictions stacked up to the tough test of reality.

The biggest “miss” of the week was the Yale-Cornell matchup, in which the Bulldogs—the preseason choice of some publications to win the Ivy title—got manhandled by the Big Red, a near unanimous selection as warden of the Ivy League’s basement.

Princeton had a bit more trouble with mid-major San Diego than most would have expected. The Tigers ran the football well, amassing 175 yards on the ground, but failed to come close to the 331 yards rushing that Penn accumulated against the Toreros a week before.

Speaking of Penn, the Quakers need to find some offense, quickly. Through three-and-a-half quarters against Villanova last weekend, Penn had recorded just 113 yards of total offense. I don’t care how good the Quaker ‘D’ is, if quarterback Pat McDermott continues to go 10-for-30 with only 140 yards passing, Penn just isn’t going to win football games. It’s that simple.

And now to this week’s action:

PENN (1-1) vs. DARTMOUTH (0-2)

It’s safe to assume that the Big Green administrators in charge of scheduling football games have been fired.

So far this season, Dartmouth has already played the No. 11 and No. 12 teams in the country—Colgate and New Hampshire—and will now face two of the three preseason Ivy League favorites, Penn and Yale, over the course of the next two weekends.

What’s worse is that those two Ivy foes were embarrassed last weekend, possibly making them even more dangerous than they would have originally appeared on paper.

The Quakers’ defense did about all it could against Villanova, and for Penn to be successful against Dartmouth it will have to try to ground the Big Green passing attack, which likes to spread the ball around.

If the Quakers’ defense can force Dartmouth to run the football, Penn should be able to hold the Big Green under 20 points on the afternoon.

Then, it will be up to McDermott to engineer enough offense to make that stingy defensive effort stand up. Even if he can’t, running back Sam Mathews should have a big enough day to push the Quakers past Dartmouth by a couple of touchdowns.

COLUMBIA (0-2) vs. PRINCETON (2-0)

One word can sum up this game—revenge.

Last season, the Lions overcame a 20-0 deficit and beat the Tigers 33-27 on the strength of a heave by quarterback Jeff Otis that was hauled in by tight end Wade Fletcher as time expired.
