Overview

  • Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET at Memorial Field in Hanover with the trophy on the line.
  • Dartmouth will start junior quarterback Grayson Saunier after a strong preseason under newly hired offensive coordinator Shane Montgomery.
  • UNH prepared by studying last season’s UMass film to anticipate Montgomery’s scheme, coach Rick Santos said.
  • The Wildcats enter 2-1 and ranked No. 23/24 after wins over North Carolina Central and Holy Cross and a narrow 34-29 loss at FBS Ball State.
  • Freshman running back Scott Hershberger could make his college debut for UNH as Denzell Gibson is a game-time decision and the staff manages carries for Myles Thomason.
