Moment #28: Another Blown Opportunity



With Columbia trailing 7-5 at the half, the 3rd quarter began on a good note as Tyler Varga and Mordecai Cargill miscommunicated on a handoff and LB Zach Olinger pounced on the fumble at the Yale 32.

With Trevor McDonagh back in QB for this series, the young freshman got into his first pressure situation as the Lions elected to throw on 3rd and four from the 26.

But McDonagh’s pass to Jake Wanamaker fell incomplete and when Columbia decided to go for it on 4th down, that pass intended for Connor Nelligan also fell incomplete.


The offensive futility despite the great field position was adding up.
