Columbia Game Notes
CCSU Game Notes
Leading Storylines:
1) Reversing History
Columbia comes into the game hoping to begin its first consecutive winning season since 1961-1962. Last year, the Lions went 8-2 to prove they were a good team. This season, Columbia must prove it is a good program. For CCSU, the Blue Devils must prove they as good a team that won the NEC last season and give star QB Jacob Dolegala a chance to redeem himself after being suspended for CCSU's first ever FCS playoff game which the Blue Devils narrowly lost to UNH.
2) Bean Time
Columbia also starts a new QB in Josh Bean after the graduation of Anders Hill. Hill posted one of the best seasons for QB in Lion history, so the shoes to fill are large.
3) Who are these guys?
Not only is this Columbia's first game of the season, it's also hard to get an idea of how good CCSU is after losing a cupcake game at Ball State and destroying Lincoln in a cupcake game of their own a week later.
