Moment #23: No Return on Reim’s Big Return



Now trailing 22-19 in their week seven game against Yale, the Lions looked ready to get right back in control when Travis Reim returned the Eli kickoff 49 yards to the Yale 44.

On the first play from scrimmage after the return, QB Sean Brackett found WR Connor Nelligan for a 15 yard pass play and Columbia looked like it was in serious business.

But the drive fizzled at the Eli 24 and then Luke Eddy’s potential game-tying FG from 41 yards out was wide left.


With 5:37 left in the game, the burden was now squarely on the defense’s shoulders to make something happen.

Next comes the defensive play of the year if I remember correctly. We need more of these plays to be a winner!
I can't wait for tomorrow.

And on that play, if Varga had just been content to hit the ground instead of fighting for a meaningless few extra yards Yale could have run out the clock. Luckily we stood him up and Waller made the strip of the year.
