...straight time last Saturday, taking 40 handoffs against a tough Lehigh defense for—wait for it—276 yards. With 10-0 on the horizon and a 2,000-yard campaign not out of the question, McLeod can be considered a top contender for the Walter Payton Award annually bestowed upon the top player in Division I-AA.It speaks to how impressive the Bulldogs have been to this point that this game, arguably the biggest test on their schedule, seems so non-threatening. Quakers tailback Joe Sandberg is the second-best runner in the conference, and the stout...
True story: Backup UNH QB Hank Hendricks was suspended from the team two weeks ago, just days before pleading not guilty to murder in the killing of a pro surfer. Also true, less horrifying story: Starting UNH QB Ricky Santos won the Payton Award as the top player in Division I-AA last season and is poised to repeat this year, with 642 passing yards through two games...
...attention, has recorded the best single-season performance for a back in football history. "By far," says Emmitt Smith, the league's all-time leading rusher--for now.

By staying the course, you discovered a priceless bronze statue (a Payton Award?). Dartmouth’s best runner is its quarterback (Fritz is fifth in the Ivies in rushing yards). Harvard’s best runner is arguably the best runner in the entire freaking history of the league. Awesome Dawson stands just 338 yards away from breaking Ed Marinaro?...
...when the game is in hand, which last week meant the second quarter. The week before that, they upended 1-A Northwestern. QB Ricky Santos and WR David Ball (within three of tying Jerry Rice’s 1-AA record for career touchdown catches at 50) are legitimate Payton Award contenders. UNH is a 28-point favorite, but should cover anyway.Prediction: New Hampshire 41, Dartmouth 11COLUMBIA (1-0) VS. GEORGETOWN (1-2)Columbia romped against Fordham in the Big Apple last weekend in large part because its swarming 3-4 defense forced five turnovers, including four fumbles...
