embarrassing Homecoming losses ever?
-Will the fans at the game voice their anger at Coach Mangurian and the administration?
Streak Watch
Columbia has now lost 16 games in a row, continuing
the longest losing streak since the record 44-game slide from 1983-88. Columbia
has not won a game since 11/14/2009 or 683 days ago.
The Lions have also lost 13 straight
Homecoming games.
Dartmouth has defeated Columbia five straight times
by an average score of 33-9.
Players to Watch
Dartmouth: QB Dalyn Williams runs and passes very well.
As a runner, he could particularly shred the soft middle of the CU defense. This
could be a career day for Williams.
Columbia: QB Trevor McDonagh
should be even more comfortable as the starter and might test a still somewhat
questionable Dartmouth pass defense.
Columbia 3 Keys to the Game
1)
Throw
it Deep… a Lot
If your offense isn’t
working too well, you might as well try to get maximum positives the few times
that it does.
2)
Make
Williams Stay Put
Williams can really
hurt Columbia with his passes, but he’ll absolutely slaughter the Lions if he
feels like he can run regularly.
3)
Mix
up the Running Game
Cameron Molina is
just unable to do much on his own with the kind of run blocking the O-line is
not providing. CU needs to go into a 2-back or even wishbone set once in a
while and at least confuse the defense somewhat.

I must disagree with one of your keys to the game. We will face a steady barrage of blitz packages. Throwing it deep will only result in turnovers or the injury of our QB. Better throw short.I'd also like us to try running wide a few times. Between the tackles not so good even with an additional blocker back there.
Another Homecoming and it looks like yet another loss to extend the Curse of 9/11. I hope the alumni who attend will be chanting Fire Pete!! He is the worst football coach Columbia has had EVER and that says a lot when they've had many bad teams.
We are so bad the keys to winning are fire the Napoleon and u will see a huge amount of player enthusiasm.
Nothing would make the administration happier than have the alumni blame the football coach for the poor performance. They can hire a new football coach and avoid the real issues for another four more years. This malaise is a University issue, and not the coaching.
