Great call, and execution. That felt like the turning point.

The touchdown prior to that kickoff felt to me like a "making it look closer than it was" TD. But getting the ball right back, in good field position, suddenly it became "game on."

FWIW, ESPN analytics had Yale at a 99.5% probability of winning with 11 minutes left in Q4.

It was a little hard to tell from the broadcast, but it seemed like Yale had an ordinary kick return on, and suddenly realized the possibility of an onside kick. They rushed players up to guard against it, but because Dartmouth employed two kickers (one on either side of the ball), it wasn't clear which way the kick would go. Dartmouth just kicked to the side of the field where fewer Yale defenders were standing.

Loved it.
