Moment #43: Waller Stops a Drive

Waller makes a tackle

Columbia’s Homecoming game in week six against Dartmouth began with a Lion three-and-out and a punt that gave the Big Green pretty good field position at their 36.

And the Green were looking good churning out small to moderate gains on every play until they were faced with a 2^nd and 7 at the CU 39.

Then LB Mike Waller got involved.

On the 2^nd down play, he and DL Shad Sommers combined to drop Dartmouth RB Brian Grove for a three yard loss, forcing a passing play on 3^rd and 10.

And that pass by QB Alex Park was picked off by… Mike Waller at the Columbia 37.

Waller would finish the game with 13 tackles, including that TFL with Sommers and the one INT. It was a strong performance for a senior playing his final Homecoming game.
