rv/rv YALE (3-0, 1-0 Ivy League) at rv/rv Dartmouth (3-0, 1-0 Ivy League)Saturday sets up for a pivotal Ivy League battle in Hanover, N.H., as Yale football faces Dartmouth in a battle of unbeatens. Additionally, each school is receiving votes in the both the AFCA Poll and STATS FCS Polls, with a win potentially pushing the victor into the top-25. The SeriesSaturday’s matchup is the 96th all-time meeting as Yale leads the series 47-43-5. While Dartmouth was able to come away with a victory at the Yale Bowl last season (41-18), the previous two matchups were split between the two teams. The Elis were edged by a single point on the road in 2017 (28-27) and earned a home win (21-13) in 2016. Saturday’s matchup also pits the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the 2019 Ivy League Preseason Media Poll (Yale, No. 1 - 119 points; Dartmouth, No. 2 – 11 points) Ivy AccoladesA week after Rodney Thomas II earned Yale’s first Ivy League weekly honor as the conference’s top defensive player, Kurt Rawlings was recognized as the Ivy Offensive Player of the Week, leading the Elis to a 48-24 win over Fordham. Rawlings threw for 301 yards and accounted for four total touchdowns. With two passing scores, he is now fifth all-time in Yale’s record book with 37 touchdown passes. This week, senior kicker Sam Tuckerman, sophomore defensive back Kyle Ellis and freshman wideout Mason Tipton were selected to the Ivy League Honor Roll. Bulldog BreakdownFor the fifth time in eight years under head football coach Tony Reno, the Yale Bull-dogs are 3-0. The Elis used a blistering first half last Saturday in which they scored 45 points to run past Fordham. After three-straight games at the Yale Bowl, the Elis will play their first road game of 2019. Kurt Rawlings, the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week, accounted for four touchdowns, two on the ground and two in the air, while piling up 301 passing yards. Rawlings was able to connect with his classmate receiver duo of JP Shohfi and Reed Klubnik 10 times for 235 yards. Shohfi went for 139 yards and a touchdown while Klubnik went for 96 and added a three-yard rush for a touchdown. Both wideouts caught five balls.The Bulldog offense enjoyed its best offensive showing of the season with 495 yards of offense as they averaged 7.3 yards per play. The Yale defense has also stepped up in 2019 as the Bulldogs lead the Ivy League with five interceptions and have returned a pick for a touchdown in back-to-back week. Junior linebacker Rodney Thomas II, who was last week’s Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week, continued his strong play against with 11 total tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. Sophomore defensive back Kyle Ellis followed Thomas’ lead and returned an interception 23 yards for a score to go along with six tackles in the win over the Rams.

SCOUTING DARTMOUTHFor the fourth-straight time in Hanover, the Bulldogs will play against Dartmouth on its Homecoming. Additionally, Big Green head coach Buddy Teevens aims for his 100th career win.

The Dartmouth offense is led by dual-threat quarterback Jared Gerbino. While he continues to split time with Derek Kyler behind center, he was the one who guided Dartmouth down the field for each of its three offensive touchdowns last week in a 28-15 win at Penn. For the season, Gerbino has completed 29-of-39 passes (74.4 percent) for 351 yards and six touchdowns without an interception. He also leads the team with 140 rushing yards on 23 carries (6.0 average). Although the Big Green gobble up nearly 200 yards per game on the ground, not a single player provides more than 46 as Teevens shuttles players in and out to keep them fresh.

For the second time in his career, LB Jack Traynor has been named the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week after his performance in the victory over Penn. He also picked up the honor from College Sports Madness and earned honorable mention from STATS for its National Defensive Player of the Week award. The co-captain posted a season-high 10 tack-les, but his big play came in the first quarter when he scooped up a fumble and rumbled 17 yards into the end zone, giv-ing Dartmouth a 14-0 lead. It was the first touchdown of his career and extended the Big Green streak of seasons with a fumble return for a TD to five.

After three games, Dartmouth leads the FCS in fewest points allowed (8.0 per game), a year after finishing second in the category (12.0). The Big Green also rank in the top 10 in passing yards allowed (154.0, fourth), red zone defense (60.0 percent, sixth), team passing efficiency defense (111.24, ninth) and total defense (298.7, 10th).

IVY LEAGUE FAVORITEThe Ivy League announced its 2019 football preseason poll as selected by the media and Yale was selected atop the standings with 119 points and nine first-place votes. The Bulldogs ranked seven points ahead of second-place Dartmouth and boast five more first-place votes than any other team. It is the second-straight season in which Yale has been picked first in the preseason poll. Head coach Tony Reno enters his eighth season with the Elis and aims to bring Yale its second Ivy League Championship in three years after claiming the 2017 title. “To be recognized by the media among a league filled with strong teams which have talented players is always an honor,” said Reno. “Team No. 147 is excited to get the 2019 season started. We continue to strive to become the best version of ourselves each and every day.”

PHIL STEELE ALL-AMERICANSenior guard Dieter Eiselen was tabbed as an All-American by Phil Steele Dieter, a senior offensive lineman from Stellen-bosch, South Africa, started all 10 games for Yale last season. He has made 24 starts in his career and has twice garnered All-Ivy League accolades, including a second team honor last year. Phil Steele selected Dieter as a Preseason Second-Team All-American.

STEELE’ING RECOGNITIONSenior wide receiver Reed Klubnik was selected as the Preseason Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year. Klubnik, who was already tabbed to the Walter Payton Watch List earlier this offseason, garnered the top offensive Ivy League honor from Steele. The senior wideout from Austin, Texas broke the Yale record with 1,143 receiving yards last season, ranking ninth in FCS overall.

STEELE’ING RECOGNITIONSteele also selected 11 Yale players to his All-Ivy teams. Klubnik, Eiselen, wide receiver JP Shohfi, offensive lineman Ster-ling Strother, defensive lineman Spencer Matthaei and linebacker Ryan Burke were selected to the First Team. Quarterback Kurt Rawlings, running back Alan Lamar and defensive lineman Charles Callender were second team selections. Running back Zane Dudek and tight end JJ Howland were tabbed to the Third Team.

IN THE POLLSThree preseason top-25 polls recognized the Elis as they received votes in the STATS FCS Preseason Poll also were ranked in both HERO Sports’ and College Sports Madness’ top-25 rankings at 17 and 20, respectively. The Bulldogs are still receiving votes in both national polls.

KLUBNIK ON WALTR PAYTON WATCH LISTYale receiver Reed Klubnik is on the watch list for the STATS FCS Walter Payton Award. The senior, who was a first-team All-Ivy League pick in 2018 after breaking the school record for receiving yards in a season, is one of 25 on the pre-season list for the nation’s top offensive player.

Klubnik, a 2019 pre-season STATS FCS 3rd Team All-American, was first-team All-New England last fall while leading the Bulldogs with 73 catches and 1,143. He was fifth among all FCS players with 114.3 yards per game while finishing seventh in receptions (7.3) and ninth in total receiving yards. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound target led the Ivy League in all those categories as a 10-game starter who earned team MVP (Ted Blair Award) honors while hauling in spirals from three different quarterbacks. Klubnik’s season and career-highs were 13 catches (from Kurt Rawlings) against Dartmouth and 234 yards (on just 8 receptions, 29.3 avg., from Griffin O’Connor) vs. Princeton.

IVY AT ESPNThe Yale Bulldogs made the trip up to Bristol in mid-August to ESPN Headquarters for the 2019 Ivy League Football Media Day. In addition to numerous media hits, press conferences and interviews for the Elis, Yale was also recognized by ESPN College Football as one of the top-10 programs in the 150 years of collegiate football, raking No. 7 overall. Head coach Tony Reno, senior quarterback Kurt Rawlings and senior defensive lineman Devin Moore were all on campus at ESPN yesterday along with several Yale administrators as the Bulldogs took top billing on the day as the Ivy League Preseason Media Poll favorites.

Reno and the Bulldogs got a full tour of the ESPN grounds including ESPN Radio, SportsCenter Coast to Coast studios and even the famous ESPN Cafeteria. Yale stopped for media hits with Worldwide Leader representatives as well as mem-bers of the NCAA office, Ivy League Digital team and local and national journalists. While the day was capped with Reno, Rawlings and Moore live in studio on ESPN+ with host Jack Ford ‘72, the event started with a bang for the Bulldogs as ESPN Stats & Information put Yale in the top-10 of its 50 best college football programs over the past 150 years. The goal of the rankings was to honor the accomplishments of teams across 150 seasons and all divisions, while rewarding successful programs at the highest level in the sport’s most competitive era. FROM ESPN: 7. Yale – ranking: 66.7 | 18 national titles “Yeah, Yale. Park your recency bias at the curb for just a moment and consider that for the first 50 years of college football, the sport’s dominant power resided in New Haven. No wonder Yale is in the top 10: Walter Camp, the Father of American Football, played here (and yes, he made up the rules as he went along). Once the Ivies took a look at scholarship football after World War II and said no thanks, Yale ranked as first among equals in that league through the 1970s.”

The Ivy League was well represented with Yale leading the way and Princeton (11), Harvard (13), Penn (26) and Dart-mouth (37) all in the top-40 of the rankings.

TONY RENOJoel E. Smilow ’54 Head Coach

Anthony (Tony) Reno, who became the Joel E. Smilow ‘54 Head Coach of Yale Football on Jan. 12, 2012, transformed the Elis into a champion in his sixth campaign. His Team 145 defied all 2017 prognostications with a 9-1 (6-1 Ivy) record and the school’s first outright league title in 37 years.

Reno’s squad, which included 20 all-league selections, finished with a No. 24 national ranking after earning the Blue’s first Ivy championship in 11 seasons. The fruits of his labor – with help from some of the best recruit-ing classes in FCS Football – were realized in grand fashion with a 24-3 win over Harvard before 52,000 fans at Yale Bowl. The young head coach earned Division I Coach of the Year from both the New England Football Writers and the Gridiron Club of Boston.

The 34th head coach of the Bulldogs, who came back to the program after serving as an assistant at Yale and Harvard, had come close before. The 2014 campaign brought much national attention back to New Haven’s gridiron with the Bowl’s 100th anniversary and a remarkable Yale season, including an 8-2 record and a shot at the Ivy title in the season finale with ESPN’s GameDay set up outside the stadium.

The 2014 Elis led the FCS in total offense while TB Tyler Varga ‘15 led the nation in scoring and WR Grant Wallace was tops in yards per game receiving. The season included an OT win over Army and an award for the nation’s team of the week by the College Football Writer’s Association of America. Reno was also honored as a finalist for the 2014 Eddie Robinson Award.

His 2013 Yale team made national news by beating a ranked Cal Poly team on the road in October. His Bulldogs also produced numerous league and national honors.

Reno, the Harvard special teams coordinator and defensive secondary coach from 2009 to 2011, helped engineer an undefeated 2011 Ivy League Championship team, which earned a No. 14 Football Championship Subdivision National Ranking. Three of his Crimson special teams units were ranked statistically among the nation’s top 20 in 2011.

The 42-year-old Oxford, Mass., native and a 1997 Worcester State College graduate, helped develop 10 All-Ivy players and an All-American over his last two seasons in Boston. His defensive backs enabled the Crimson to lead the league in scoring defense while earning impressive national rankings in numerous categories.

Reno, who spent six years in New Haven and rose to assistant head coach under Jack Siedlecki, helped the Bulldogs win a 2006 Ivy title. He was Yale’s wide receivers coach in 2003 and the defensive secondary leader from 2004 to 2008. His 2003 receivers played an integral role in the Blue’s No. 2 national ranking in total offense. When he took over the Eli defensive backs, they helped the defense rise to new heights. The 2007 and 2008 Bulldogs were No. 1 in FCS scoring defense, while 14 of his players earned all-league honors during his Yale tenure.

A 2002 AFLAC/Coach Magazine National Assistant of the Year Award winner, Reno served as Worcester State’s defensive coordinator from 1998 to 2002. The Lancers, who made two post-season appearances and went 27-5 with Reno as de-fensive coordinator, were 2001 ECAC Northeast Champions and made it to the title game the following year.

Reno, whose first job was defensive assistant coach at King’s (Pa.) College for the 1997 season, earned a degree in history before completing a master of science in health education from WSC in 2000. As a player at WSC, Reno was a three-year starter at free safety, and his team was league champion his last two seasons. His 1996 team led the nation in scoring, rushing and pass efficiency defense.

Reno is the first Yale football head coach from Massachusetts since Ted Coy ‘10 in 1910. He and his wife, Toni, have three children: Dante, Angelina and Vince.
