Yale's 17-game schedule includes nine contests in newly renovated Reese Stadium.

Only two of Yale's 10 non-conference games would be played away from Reese Stadium. That meant that the Bulldogs' three Ivy League road games would be somewhat unfamiliar experiences. Apparently it hasn't been a problem. Yale won at both Princeton and Penn and will look to complete a perfect Ivy road season when it plays at Columbia on Friday.
