It has been a nightmare of a football season for the Big Green Gridders. A year ago, they were at the top of their game, coming off three consecutive Ivy League titles and still led by Ivy League superstar now turned NFL quarterback Jay Fiedler '94. They slipped just slightly, losing a share of the title to the University of Pennsylvania in the final week of the season, but with the best overall record in the league's history to their name, there was no snickering behind the Dartmouth football players' backs. Then Fiedler, sometimes called Dartmouth's "heart and soul," and a number of other crucial seniors graduated, ending a dynasty and introducing uncertainty into the team's future. A period of transition and small-scale rebuilding was inevitable, but with a returning class of senior standouts on defense such as Josh Bloom, Hunter Buckner, Brian White and Chris Boran, along with powerful running back Pete Oberle '96 and experienced receivers David Shearer '95 and Andre Grant '95, no one expected Dartmouth to miss a beat.
