Moment #58: Eddy’s Long Kick is Good!

Trailing 3-0 but riding the momentum of Marcorus Garrett’s 28-yard run, Columbia found itself with a scoring about halfway through the 2nd quarter.

A holding penalty took away what looked like a chip shot field goal opportunity and forced the Lions to attempt a tough 40-yarder with eight minutes left in the half.

But Luke Eddy was solid as ever on the Franklin Field turf and he booted it through to knot the game at 3-3.

The drive and successful kick were a key statement by Columbia in a game that truly looked like it was swinging Penn’s way.

Eddy has had ice water in his veins  in each of the three games he’s played against Penn so far in his career.

No doubt, he’ll need to keep that up this year as well.
