I attended today's scrimmage against Montclair State and, as advertised, it was mostly an exercise for the freshmen and the backups to show the coaches what they could do against the competition. Just about every key returning player was held out of the game. Even promising freshman RB Dante Miller did not play, even though he certainly looked 100% healthy.
But QB's Josh Bean and Dillon Davis did play and again, it appears Bean has the inside track to the full-time starting position.
Other than that, it's probably foolish to draw any conclusions about the scrimmage today.
Jacob Dolegala
CCSU Falls
Yes, Columbia's week one opponent CCSU was crushed by Ball State last night in Indiana, 42-6.
But the game was also not that informative as it appears Ball State is a pretty decent FBS team with a good QB who might get drafted to the NFL.
I did think CCSU's QB, 6"6 Jacob Dolegala looks as dangerous as advertised and he will definitely be a challenged for the Lions on 9/15.
On the down side for the Blue Devils, the placekicking seems rather shaky.
Tomorrow's Game
Week two opponent Georgetown visits week four opponent Marist tomorrow at 1pm in a game that should tell us a lot more than the CCSU-Ball State game.
The game should be available to watch here.
The game is being labeled as a "pick 'em" by the odds makers, and I'm going to pick Marist to win.
My Ivy League season preview will be published later tonight.
