Moment #12: Reim’s Big Pick

Midway through the 2^nd quarter of Columbia’s week nine game at home against Cornell, the Big Red took over at their own 49 with the score tied at 7-7.

Five straight runs, three by freshman Luke Hagy and two scrambles by QB Jeff Mathews, set Cornell up with a 2^nd and nine at the Lion 21.

A nifty pass to Kurt Ondash went for 15 yards and now the Big Red were knocking on the door with a 1^st and goal at the six.

But that’s when freshman corner Travis Reim got into the mix with a nice INT; a direct result of correctly reading Mathews’ eye and following them to the east corner of the north end zone.

The play saved six points and temporarily delayed the Big Red rally.
