Leading Story Lines
1) Princeton is on a 12-game winning streak and has blown out its two opening opponents. The Lions are reeling after a surprising home opening loss to Georgetown. The betting line says it all as the experts are expecting a whipping at Old Nassau.
2) Princeton's offense continues to churn out massive points despite the starting QB. New starter Kevin Davidson has completed 81 percent of his passes, averages 12.2 yards per attempt, has 9 TD passes, and no INTs. Columbia's defense has its work cut out for it today.
3) The last time these two teams met at Princeton Stadium, the Lions beat the Tigers in dramatic fashion, 28-24. Princeton was a 15-point favorite in that game, and Columbia is hoping to repeat some of that magic.

Whether we win or lose , I hope and expect to see us play with some brains and a lot more heart today. Hoya D line kicked our asses last week.
I'll take the big spread against Old Nassau. They actually struggled a bit against the Bison last week until the turnovers took their toll.
$$$ rolling in for G-Town (at least what the bookies say on the East side). If you like, then the Lions are a stronger play.
Well, we beat the spread! If our CB makes the late int (it could have been a pick six); an then who knows. D is tough but we need to get turnovers against Conn.
Wiithout a a viable running attack....Suffice, maybe, that save for Roussos who remains dangerous, maybe uur highly touted running backsweren't worth all the hype. And the more highly toute the less deserving. The seeming nonchalance of the win over St. Francis has become what sometimes looks like a very oomph-less offense at times. The CCSU games thus becomes all the more important as an opportunity during which to display Columbia's offense to full force nd effect.
We'd better do o, in other words.
