The Game Last Year: Columbia 41 CCSU 24


Leading Story Lines 


1) Head Coach Al Bagnoli and his coaching staff are under pressure to fix the offense's woes and get a win before the season gets away from the team. Fans will be scrutinizing play calling more than usual and the offensive line will need to show significant improvement. 

2) CCSU is one of those FCS teams that plays very different games every week. That's because of the parade of transfers from BCS programs that sometime play up to their abilities and sometimes not. So, you never know what you're going to get. But the key challenge for the Lions will be containing Blue Devil QB who can run well and is improving as a passer.

3) Look for something different from Columbia by way of an offensive set or a series of trick plays to loosen things up a bit up front.

Well...glad to see TDs to Wainwright and Roussos....but IVY championship requires more points...and our running game seems its weakest in 4 years.

Have to reset expectations around a 3-7 season methinks
