This is the sixth installment of the 10 greatest defensive performances for the Lions during Paul Ferraro's tenure as defensive coordinator. Ferraro announced his retirement in April.
The 2019 season was mostly a disappointment for Columbia, but everything from the weather to the turnout to the breaks went the Lions way at Homecoming against the Quakers.
The CU defense held Penn to just 14 1st downs, 232 yards of total offense, and a 26% 3rd down conversion rate.
Granted the defense got help from a very productive Lion offense that day. That included 255 total yards of time-consuming rushing yards for the game.
Columbia's most dominating game of the decade SHOULD have also been a shutout... but a botched handoff turned into a fumble recovery for a Penn TD late in the game. The score was already 44-0 at the time of that miscue.

This was an ass kicking for the ages - the look on Priore's face said it all as he exited the stadium with his tail tucked between his legs
Congratulations, this time to the Columbia Lightweight Rowing Team that just won the National Championship!
It seems as though sports at Columbia are getting better and better!
The Ivy League Football Championship, soon to be won by Columbia, is also getting closer and closer!

Tod,
From your lips to GOD's ears...
Jake please make a post on the columbia football player currently missing in Baltimore
The player has been found, and with a lot of the details pretty sketchy I'm reluctant to post about it since it has nothing to do with football. I am very grateful he was found and is now safe.
This is a great article, and it really helped
