Moment #27: Varga Tears it Up Again


Varga turns the corner


Yale started its second possession of the half at their own 26, and this time the Elis were ready to take advantage of Columbia’s offensive problems.

What followed was a 12-play, 74-yard, 5:03-long drive that featured seven runs by Varga, four runs by Cargill and one incomplete pass by Varga just to mix things up.

53 of the yards on the way to the TD were gained by Varga, who finished it off with a three yard TD run giving the Elis a 14-5 lead and tons of momentum.

The Lions looked like they had solved the Varga challenge after he score his first TD, but this drive proved that false. And it also made all the points the offense had left on the table that much harder to face.


Columbia needed to answer with a strong offensive scoring drive to get back into the game.
