Football – Saturday, Oct. 7
Dartmouth has a big test this week with last year's champion invading Memorial Field, and Yale is already fighting for its title hopes after suffering a shocking 23-21 defeat two weeks ago at home to Cornell. But considering the first conference game for every Ancient Eight team was decided by no more than three points, perhaps no win or loss should be shocking this year.
