Columbia Game Notes

Princeton Game Notes


Leading Storylines

-Princeton looks unstoppable after it's first two games while Columbia is a bit of a lame duck still trying to adjust to injuries and the graduation of 2017 star QB Anders Hill. The odds makers clearly think this isn't a very balanced matchup.

-Who will be Columbia's starting QB? Sophomore Josh Bean missed last week following concussion protocols, and sophomore Dillon Davis had a mixed performance in his stead at Georgetown. 

-Can anyone stop Princeton's John Lovett? He seems even better than he was during his 2016 Ivy MVP winning season. Lovett was a monster the last time he faced the Lions, in what was Columbia's worst game of 2016.
