HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — Jackson Proctor threw for two touchdowns, one to Q Jones, who also had a rushing score, and Dartmouth opened its football season with a 45-13 win over Fordham on Saturday.
The Big Green took a 24-0 at the half with Jones scoring both of his touchdowns in the first quarter. Jones capped the first drive of the game with a 40-yard burst up the middle and capped an 86-yard drive with a 19-yard connection with Proctor. Jones ran for 86 yards.
Proctor, who was 14-of-18 passing for 185 yards with an interception, also found Chris Corbo for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Special teams pushed the lead to 31-0 early in the second half when Jordan Washington scooped up the ball after a blocked field goal and raced to the end zone.
D.J. Crowther and Grayson Saunier added long touchdown runs as the Big Green had 233 yards on the ground.
Jack Capaldi was 23-of-43 passing for Fordham (0-4) with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Cole Thornton.
