After Columbia settled for a FG to take a 10-3 lead over
Marist midway through the 3rd quarter, the Red Foxes began an
impressive drive at their own 16.
After nine plays, Marist had a 1st and goal at
the Columbia 1 and a tie game seemed like a foregone conclusion.
But when RB Calving McCoy attempted to crash into the end
zone, CU linebacker Zach Olinger
crashed into him instead. The ball came loose and Josh Martin fell on it for the Lions right at the line of
scrimmage.
It was a huge play for Columbia, not only preserving the
lead but also grabbing back the momentum in the game.
It was just the first of 14 opponent fumbles Columbia
recovered in 2012 which led the Ivies by a country mile, (Dartmouth was second
with 10).
