Leading Story Lines

1) The Columbia season so far has been a disappointment, mostly due to problems on the offensive line. But injuries are also mounting up, with starting LB's Justin Woodley and Cameron Dillon now out for the season. Homecoming provides a great chance at redemption and that's clearly been the key focus for the team all week.

2) Penn's defense is not bad, but it's relatively weaker than the last three teams Columbia has faced. If the offense can't get on track today, it may not be able to get there this year.

3) Penn's offense is improved over last year and RB Karekin Brooks is the Ivy League's leading rusher. The Lions need to contain him and get Quaker QB Nick Robinson under pressure to win the game.

Well...that was better. Watched from HK.

Seems we have gelled our offensive line play to give our talented backs and QB openings. If that can continue, we have a shot to give anyone on the schedule a right good game.

And what can you say about this kid Roussos?!
