An (Almost) Perfect Green-White

  HANOVER – The problem for football coaches in an intrasquad game is, if the offense is looking like world beaters, you start worrying about your defense.

And if the defense is dominating, you can’t help but worry about your offense.

All of which is why the series bridging the third and fourth quarters of Saturday’s highly entertaining Green-White Game played out almost perfectly in Dartmouth coach Sammy McCorkle’s view.

The Green-White Plan And Coach McCorkle Q&A

 HANOVER – In part because it led to the poaching of their players in the transfer portal, a significant number of FBS football coaches stopped holding spring games and replaced them with one final practice.

The NCAA closed the second portal window this year but the number of spring games at the FBS level still continued to fall.

As they used to say in these parts, “It’s different at Dartmouth.”

Practice 10 Begins Final Week Of Spring

 HANOVER – The goal for Dartmouth’s final week of spring football is to reach a crescendo in Saturday’s Green-White Game.

    Unfortunately, getting to that point might be a little easier than expected after the week kicked off Tuesday with practice coach Sammy McCorkle finding the offensive performance flat.

Big Green Achieves Its Goals

HANOVER – Sammy McCorkle came into the ninth practice of the spring with one clear objective and added a second along the way.

Mission accomplished.

Make that missions – plural – accomplished.

The Time Was Right For Don Dobes

    Over 15 seasons as Dartmouth’s defensive coordinator, Don Dobes posted up on Memorial Field’s home sideline for 75 Big Green games.
    But he’s logged upwards of 1,000 practices – counting the spring, preseason and in season sessions – almost exclusively on the other side of the field.
