  11/23/19 - Derek Kyler, rSr/2023, Pittsburgh, 6-0, 180 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Derek Kyler and Drew Estrada teamed for two late touchdowns as Dartmouth scored 15 points in the fourth quarter to rally past upset-minded Brown 29-23 on Saturday, clinching a tie for the Ivy League title. The Big Green (9-1, 8-1) entered the final period trailing 23-14 before Kyler found Estrada with a TD pass from the 9 and later a 39-yarder. Kicker Connor Davis passed to Hunter Hagdorn for a two-point conversion for the final score. Dartmouth tied for the Ivy League title -- a record 19th -- after Yale rallied to defeat Harvard in overtime.

Kyler was 19 of 23 passing for 303 yards and four touchdowns. Estrada had 14 catches for 193 yards and two scores. Hagdorn had 12 catches for 153 yards and a TD. Brown's fourth quarter featured three punts and a game-ending interception. The Bears drove to the Dartmouth 14 before EJ Perry was sacked for a loss of 15 yards on the game's penultimate play, then picked off with 27 seconds left when Dartmouth's Isiah Swan intercepted a tipped pass in the end zone. Perry was 31 of 45 passing for 412 yards and a TD and finished with an Ivy League-record 3,678 yards of total offense. Perry surpassed the 3,553 yards set by Princeton's Chad Kanoff in 2017. - AP College Football

  11/14/19 - Kenny Pickett, rSr/2022, Pittsburgh, 6-3, 219 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  Kenny Pickett threw for 359 yards and a touchdown and ran for a pair of scores - including a 3-yard burst on the opening possession of overtime - as Pittsburgh held off North Carolina 34-27 on Thursday night to pick up its first win over the Tar Heels since joining the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2013. The Panthers (7-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) kept their hopes of a second straight Coastal Division title alive when Pickett darted into the end zone to start overtime and the defense followed by forcing North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell to throw incomplete on fourth-and-16.

Pickett completed 25 of 41 passes and ran 12 times for 53 yards as Pitt ended a six-game losing streak to the Tar Heels (4-6, 3-4). Sophomore wide receiver Shocky Jacques-Louis caught three passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. Howell finished 27 of 43 for 322 yards with three touchdowns and an interception for North Carolina as the Tar Heels rallied twice in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Antonio Williams ran for 107 yards and Dazz Newsome caught 11 passes for 170 and a touchdown. - AP College Football

  11/03/19 - Kylan Johnson, rSr/2020, Pittsburgh, 6-1, 230 (DS#42 OLB) + More +

  The ACC's best run defense created the play of the game for Pittsburgh. That defense also has the Panthers in position to contend for another shot at the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. Kylan Johnson's goal-line hit late in the third quarter forced a fumble, protecting Pitt's lead, and the Panthers rode their dominant defense to a 20-10 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday. Pitt (6-3, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) held Georgia Tech (2-6, 1-4) to 194 yards. "They played another outstanding game," said Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi of his defense. "You win championships with defense."

Entering the game, The Panthers led the ACC with an average of 85.9 yards rushing allowed per game. They held the Yellow Jackets to 86 yards. Pitt, the defending Coastal Division champion, became bowl-eligible. Pitt led 17-10 when Georgia Tech drove for a potential tying score in the third quarter. Johnson's hit on Georgia Tech quarterback Lucas Johnson stopped the Yellow Jackets inches short of the goal line, forcing the fumble. Cam Bright returned the recovery 79 yards. "I saw an open lane in front of me, so I just tried to scoop and score," Bright said. The play set up Alex Kessman's 49-yard field goal. Instead of a tie, Pitt led by 10 points. - Pittsburgh/AP College Football

  11/02/19 - Derek Kyler, rSr/2023, Pittsburgh, 6-0, 180 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Derek Kyler connected with Masaki Aerts for the game's only touchdown, a 43-yarder off a tip on the final play of the game, and Dartmouth stunned Harvard 9-6 to remain unbeaten Saturday. The Big Green (7-0, 4-0 Ivy League), ranked 15th in the STATS FCS Top 25, managed only a 42-yard field goal by Connor Davis with 59 seconds left before halftime before Kyler's game-winning toss. Jake McIntyre kicked a 41-yard field goal midway through the first quarter to give the Crimson (4-3, 2-2) a 3-0 lead. McIntyre's 38-yard field goal with 9:48 left in the third quarter gave Harvard the lead until the final play.

Kyler completed 11 of 18 passes for 133 yards with an interception. Backup Jared Gerbino connected on 11 of 16 passes for 88 yards and a pick. Dartmouth managed just 52 yards on the ground on 25 carries. Devin Darrington rushed for 102 yards on 25 carries for Harvard, which finished with 134 yards on the ground. Jake Smith was 17-of-28 passing for 170 yards. The Crimson had a five-game winning streak at home snapped. Harvard coach Tim Murphy will have to wait at least one more game to tie former Yale coach Carm Cozza's record of 179 career Ivy League victories. Dartmouth has won two straight in the series after ending a 14-game losing streak to Harvard last season. Dartmouth and No. 12 Princeton (7-0, 4-0) will meet with sole possession of first place on the line next Saturday at Yankee Stadium. - AP College Football
