...DARTMOUTH. The Big Green should have a strong passing game, with veteran quarterback Tom Snickenberger tossing to receivers Mark McAleenan and Tom Fleming. The offensive line is solid, with three returning starters and capable replacements. The big concern is at running back, where the Indians lost all three starters...
...Yale should have one of the best year, and Vaughan himself was the Ivies' total ground games in the Ivy League next season.

In Birmingham, Matthew Reed, a black quarterback from Grambling, replaced the injured George Mira for two games and coolly led the undefeated Americans to late fourth-quarter wins...
