Leading Storylines

1) Georgetown has won this matchup two years in a row, after two games filled with maddening Lion miscues. Columbia is under some pressure to clean up its act this time and get the win. The Hoyas are the second straight Columbia opponent to feature a pretty good defense but not much of an offense. Georgetown has been averaging just 11 offensive points per game against two weaker opponents. Their loss at home last week to Marist was a bit of a surprise.

2) Columbia is looking to go 2-0 for the first time in 11 years. 

3) The Lion offense seems like it has a potent passing game, but someone other than QB Anders Hill must prove he can run the ball effectively.
