Moment #5: The Butt Interception



You've no doubt heard of Jets QB Mark Sanchez's "butt fumble" on Thanksgiving night last year vs. the Patriots.

But did you know that a few weeks before that, there was the "butt interception?"

It happened with Columbia leading 34-17 and just under four minutes left in the game.

Big Red QB Chris Amrhein, in relief of the knocked-out Jeff Mathews, threw a pass behind WR Kurt Ondash who has already hit the turf at the Lion 35.

Instead of hitting the ground, the ball landed on Ondash's butt and stayed there. That's where LB Zach Olinger simply picked it up for an interception.

It was an unusual play to seal a great Columbia win.

Jake thanks for reminding us about the butt int.
Let's not make any excuses , but there is or is not some advantage to have played three games when you play a team which is playing it's first game. ( Pretend I am talking about Penn's opponent next Saturday.) Talk amongst yourselves...

I saw Nottingham this past Saturday and he has the tools .... however .... a lot of you seem to be on the wrong track .... one player, no matter how good will make the Lions a winner ... I played with a QB who had all the tools and played in the NFL for almost a decade ... the most games he won in a season was 2 games ... it wasn't his lack of talent ... it was the rest of us .... we didn't have enough player, and we didn't have enough depth ... the team we are playing this Saturday appears to have a pretty good QB themselves ... I don't want to have to wind up in a shooting match ... our QB, no matter how good, will not win this game by himself ... WR's need to run good patterns and catch the ball ... the front 7 on D need to stop their RB and QB from making 1st downs ... the DB's need to shut their big reciever down ... if we do that, we put our QB in the best position to play up to his potential .... let's not forget, the Heisman trophy winner lost this weekend no matter all his talents ....

Sounds like Red Tiger is talking about the great Marty Domres. He struck terror in every other HC in the league. A good friend who played for Yale during those years said that Cozza certainly felt that way.

Any news on the release of the depth chart?

Old lion, you might appreciate this. After his freshman year, Calvin Hill went to Buff Donelli and said he wanted to transfer. Buff talked him out of it, thought it wasn't in Hill's best interest. What would the offense have been like with Domres, Hill and Wazevich on the field?
