At the risk of providing bulletin board material, two of Dartmouth's OOC opponents didn't impress last night.

Fordham lost to Bowling Green 41-17.
Central Connecticut State lost to Central Michigan 66-10.

Full credit to those schools for playing up. That said, I don't think Dartmouth will be scared of either...

CCSU is picked to finish last in the NEC.

Not exactly scheduling up with an OCC team.

If you want to complain about Ivy teams not playing up...

... don't blame Dartmouth.

I dunno.

Fordham had over 400 yards of offense against Bowling Green.

They are picked second in the Patriot League.

Could be fairly stiff competition.

Agree - Fordham could easily defeat Dartmouth (or any other IL team for that matter) IL week 1. By that time Fordham will have played three games and will have very likely worked out the inevitable early season issues that nearly every team has to deal with, and Dartmouth will not have played one snap…and therefore won’t have a clue as to whether or not they’ve filled their holes or not. While Fordham was never really in it vs Bowling Green, BG is made up of guys who are legit FBS - whether they began in the G6 or dropped down through the portal from the Power conferences. I haven’t looked at it closely, but I have to think Fordham also has a number of guys who transferred in from higher level programs in order to get onto the field. The IL(?) - not so much….Dartmouth will have its hands very full, and and I hope to be able to come back to this thread and state how wrong I was post game.

Fordham got trashed by lowly Central Connecticut on Saturday.

Merrimack also blown away by UConn.

While I don't expect any of them to roll over and die when they take the field against Dartmouth, it's hard to see Dartmouth losing any OOC games if we play reasonably well.

Merrimack (our last-minute replacement when Army dropped us) did fine against Air Force, losing 21-6.

I haven't seen Air Force play in years. I only watched teh fourth quarter of the game. It sure looked like AF was using Joe Restic's old Multi-Flex offense--at least a pretty vanilla version of it.
