Homecoming notes

All sorts of coverage of Saturday's game in today's DP, but here are a few notes that didn't make it into the paper.

Long snapper Ted Rosenbaum left the game with a separated shoulder, coach Al Bagnoli said afterwards. Linebacker Jake Lewko, the backup, did well on the white-knucklers late in the game, but I believe he was the one who missed holder Braden Lepisto on that 42-yard attempt in the second quarter.

Matt Belasco took the first punt of the game, but then regular Anthony Melillo did the honors the rest of the way. Not sure exactly what happened there, but since it seemed a trivial matter and didn't come up at the press conference we won't know until practice is open tomorrow.

Freshman Mike DiMaggio continued to show talent out of the tailback spot, rushing seven times for nearly five yards a carry. Granted, he didn't get the ball 34 times like Sandberg, but that's still a nice little boost.

Two of Yale's starters on defense -- junior linebacker Jay Pilkerton and junior safety Steven Santoro -- got knocked out of the game by injuries, according to the Bulldogs' sports info office.
