QUICK HITTERS
UNH enters Saturday's game at Dartmouth College with a 1-1 overall record following last weekend's 39-28 victory against Holy Cross at Wildcat Stadium.
The Wildcats are 0-1 on the road this season. New Hampshire lost its season opener, 31-0, at FBS representative San Diego State University in the season opener.
UNH has a 19-17-2 series edge against the Big Green. The Wildcats have won 13 straight in the series and are unbeaten the previous 20 matchups (18-0-2) dating back to Dartmouth's 24-13 home win Sept. 25, 1976.
The last time these teams met, UNH prevailed 52-19 at Cowell Stadium on Sept. 27, 2014. Prior to that, the teams had not squared off since '09.
In the most recent trip to Hanover (09/27/08), UNH prevailed 42-6. The 'Cats have a 9-15 road record, but have won each of the last nine on Dartmouth's home field.
Other than Dartmouth, UNH has not played an Ivy League school since a 1939 matchup against Harvard University. New Hampshire last played Yale in 1935, Brown in 1931 and Cornell in 1922. Wildcat football has never played Columbia, Penn or Princeton.
Pop Lacey, a true freshman at cornerback, was named CAA Rookie of the Week on Monday. He recorded a game-high 14 tackles, including 12 solo stops, vs. Holy Cross.
Lacey also received Honorable Mention recognition as the STATS FCS Freshman of the Week.
Senior running back Dalton Crossan was an Honorable Mention honoree for the College Football Performance Awards FCS Performer of the Week. Last week against Holy Cross, he carried the ball a personal-best 24 times for a career-high 199 yards and two TDs as part of 262 all-purpose yards. In the preseason, Crossan was named to the CFPA National Performer of the Year Trophy Watch List.
Senior cornerback and captain Casey DeAndrade, who is on the STATS FCS Defensive Player of the Year Watch List, recorded his first career pick-six last week vs. Holy Cross. His 28-yard scored gave the 'Cats a 39-28 lead with 2:10 remaining in the game. He also recorded six tackles (4-2-6) and three pass breakups.
SCOUTING DARTMOUTH
Dartmouth College (Hanover, N.H.) plays its 2016 season opener Saturday against UNH. The Big Green were selected third in the Ivy League Preseason Media Poll. Dartmouth went 6-1 in the Ivy last year to earn a share of the league title, and the Big Green finished at 9-1 overall for its best record since 1996 (10-0).
Last season, the DC defense led the FCS in points allowed (10.1 points per game) and turnovers gained (32). On the other side of the ball, the offense averaged nearly 29 points per game. All told, eight players received All League First Team honors.
Only one of those eight players return in 2016, however, and the Big Green lost a total of 17 starters on offense and defense. The one player is senior tri-captain Folarin Orimolade; the linebacker, named to the STATS Defensive Player of the Year Watch List and a preseason All-America selection, ranked second in the Ivy League in both sacks and tackles for loss in '15. Orimolade is the top returning tackler – he was eighth overall with 36 total tackles (19-17-36). Also gone on D are players who accounted for 14 of the 18 interceptions as well as 12 of the 14 fumble recoveries.
On offense, Dartmouth has to replace its quarterback, two top receivers, three of the top four rushers and three linemen. Stone Ryder returns in the backfield; he led the Big Green in rushing yards (375) and rushing TDs (eight) on 75 carries, which ranked third. Jack Heneghan, the projected starting QB, completed 5 of 10 passes for 39 yards in two games last season. The top returning WR is Jon Marc Carrier (23-313), but he's not listed on the preseason two-deep at any of the three WR slots. Houston Brown, who had 17 catches for 255 yards and tied for the team lead with four receiving TDs, will be one of the top targets.
