After Yale’s 47-yard field goal sails wide left, Dartmouth’s Grayson Saunier ties the score on a 32-yard quarterback draw with 1:22 on the clock. When Yale’s 46-yard field goal attempt with three seconds remaining is wide left yet again, the game goes to overtime.
The Big Green escapes a second-and-17 hole in the top half of the overtime and scores a touchdown to take a 44-37 lead. Yale responds with a touchdown in the bottom half of the OT and opts to go for the win. The Bulldogs have an open receiver, but an overthrow gives Dartmouth the biggest comeback in school history.
Oct. 11, 2025: Dartmouth 17, Yale 16
HANOVER – The Yale defense is pitching a shutout, and the offense is doing enough to give the Bulldogs a 10-0 lead through three quarters.
A six-yard Saunier run caps a 92-yard drive and pulls Dartmouth within 10-7 with 10:24 remaining. At the 4:13 mark, it is Saunier running 37 yards to finish off a 75-yard drive to give the home team a 14-10 lead.
Yale answers right back as quarterback Dante Reno drives the Bulldogs 70 yards in 12 plays, the last a four-yard touchdown pass that brings a two-point lead with 37 seconds remaining. With an extra point, Dartmouth needs a miracle touchdown to win the game outright or a field goal to force overtime.
Except the Yale kicking game lets the Bulldogs down again as the PAT fails.
Dartmouth takes over at its own 25. Seven plays and two Big Green timeouts later, Owen Zalc drills a 51-yard field goal for another dramatic, one-point Dartmouth win.
