Ryan Murphy applies the pressure
Even though QB Trevor McDonagh’s first-ever turn at leading
a Lion possession did not end in an offensive score, it did result in great
defensive field position. Paul Delaney’s punt nailed Yale at its own nine yard
line with 8:34 left in the half.
Then LB Ryan Murphy
took over.
On 1st down, he crashed into the backfield and
tackled Mordecai Cargill for a four yard loss back to the five.
On 2nd down, the shotgun snap momentarily eluded
Tyler Varga and Murphy was able to bring him down in the end zone for a safety.
It was the first safety scored by the Lions since the 2002
Homecoming game against Princeton, and it made the score closer at 7-5 with 8:13
to play.

Jake,
I thought that the snap was poor; but Murphy was in like a bolt on the play.
