Dartmouth has converted 40 of 81 third downs through 6 games. Harvard has allowed 38 of 90, so the Big Green have a credible way to extend possessions against this defense.
Dartmouth +10.5 appeals because longer drives would give Harvard fewer chances to pull away. The Big Green have committed just 3 turnovers all season.
Myles Craddock has 503 rushing yards, and quarterback Grayson Saunier has 220 through 6 games. Last week at Columbia, Dartmouth ran for 247 yards and 5 touchdowns while holding the ball for 32:28.
Craddock carried 23 times for 128 yards in that win, while Saunier ran for 3 touchdowns.
