Pens and pencils? Check. Notebooks and paper? Check. Computer? Check. Cell phone equipped with a GPS device linked to your school's public-safety division? For students at schools like Fairleigh Dickinson University and Georgia Gwinnett College, the back-to-school-shopping list has gotten a little bit longer.

Joe Sandberg is back in the lineup -and will start Saturday at Dartmouth -- but that doesn't mean he'll be carrying the ball at the clip he was before his injury. Coach Al Bagnoli said yesterday that he will be reluctant to give the running back more than 25 carries on Saturday.
