Tied with Brown at 7-7 in the final minute of the first half, the
20th-ranked Dartmouth Big Green exploded for six touchdowns in a 16-minute span to finish the 2018 season with one more victory in a 49-7 triumph on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Field.
Dartmouth racked up 365 yards on the ground — its most in seven years — and five rushing touchdowns with senior
Miles Smith scoring twice. The nation's leader in interceptions, junior cornerback
Isiah Swann, struck again on a Brown third-down play, returning his ninth pick of the year and
13th of his career — tying the Dartmouth record — 18 yards to the Bear 18. Two plays later, Smith provided a 16-yard touchdown run to boost the lead to 27-7, less than two minutes after the previous score.
