This is the fifth installment of the 10 greatest defensive performances for the Lions during Paul Ferraro's tenure as defensive coordinator. Ferraro announced his retirement earlier this month.
Head Coach Al Bagnoli's first Ivy League win as the coach of the Lions came at the Yale Bowl, just a short walk from where he grew up.
The week before, the Lions almost shocked the Ivy world with a fantastic defensive effort at eventual league champion Dartmouth in a close loss.
This time, Columbia wouldn't allow an offensive score as the only Eli dent on the scoreboard came via an early punt return for a TD.
The stat sheet is still unbelievable. The Lions allowed just five Yale 1st downs, held the Bulldogs to -14 yards rushing, and sacked Yale QB's six times.
On offense, Columbia got a gutty performance from QB (and current Lion QB coach) Skyler Mornhinweg and a shocking fake FG run for a TD by current Atlanta Falcons punter Cameron Nizialek.
The Lions haven't won at the Bowl since.

Jake, have you heard about a three star QB commit who is not on the prior lists but is a late addition?
We do have a late addition QB, but not a 3-star that I know of.
