The OLine gave time to the QB to read the d and pass or run. Skyler had one where he stepped up in a moving pocket very very well and completed a third down conversion. <br /><br />This is a little bit about some new players and a whole lot more about great coaching and preparation. Which gives me confidence that we will make secondary adjustments and make a step forward there in the coming weeks. <br /><br />37 years of scar tissue, but I now have real hope!!!Chen1982https://www.blogger.com/profile/13329847325317246623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-90005163934175378382015-09-21T15:25:44.698-07:002015-09-21T15:25:44.698-07:00Columbia played a damned good game.

Now he's rooting against us. Awesome. It was 28-24 after three and Fordham pretty clearly was not treating the game lightly. We played a poor fourth quarter but for most of the game we controlled both lines of scrimmage. We had five sacks, they had zero. I think objective fans who watched the game could see we don't have the skill players Fordham has, but we were strong on the lines. We are going to be competitive, especially relative to the past two seasons when Bob's friend coached the team. Also, it's refreshing to have a coach who seems like football and college kids.<br />Roar Lionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356229836745670886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-14745400723691762032015-09-21T11:25:36.145-07:002015-09-21T11:25:36.145-07:00Memo to "Bob Barker": you obviously wer...Memo to "Bob Barker": you obviously were not at the game. Fordham got a gift in the end zone. Fordham also got a mythical pass interference call in the end zone which put the ball at the two. the jerk who coaches Fordham was widely quoted as having said before the game that he wanted to run up the score because we were cancelling the series in light of their scholarships and the wide open recruiting base that they had. We had them on their heels on their heels at the end of the third quarter when it was 28-24, and had Watson not slowed up on a perfectly thrown ball we would have been up 31-28. And finally, this was their third game and our first, and despite that fact we gave them all we could handle. finally, did anybody notice that Fordham was trying to tack on a cheap touchdown at the end by throwing the ball with two minutes left?oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-19474635883426391532015-09-21T09:19:02.429-07:002015-09-21T09:19:02.429-07:00Ive never seen people so excited about a 20 point ...Ive never seen people so excited about a 20 point loss.

This is the result of having full scholarships, where the talent pool becomes much greater. That being said, Columbia played hard and tough, and were well prepared for the game. It will not get easier, however, as teams start to understand Columbia's new schemes.

That was evident on Saturday. Now we need to correct a couple of obvious problems, primarily on the defensive side of the ball. Defensive ends allowed themselves to be hooked on a few occasions. LBs were slow to react and failed to wrap up. But pass defense remains our biggest problem. To put on an effective pass rush we need to play four down linemen. When we played only three the QB had too much time to find his receivers. But the biggest problem was in pass defense technique by the DBs who failed to jam receivers, or to play the ball. oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-2505764342719092242015-09-20T16:12:11.067-07:002015-09-20T16:12:11.067-07:00P.S.

He totaled 125 yards on the day and 70 something of those was on that 1 run. It says a lot when Fordham's game plan required Odom to do the damage at receiver. Odom is a giant of a man and arguably the hardest receiver Fordham has for any team to cover due to that size. What I saw was Fordham had no choice but to use their best players to get the job done. They were human and I am glad my forecast was inaccurate in that this would be a blowout. Fordham did not look fearsome at all.<br /><br />Other surprises for me was seeing Watson as first string RB ahead of Molina. In fact, Watson has arrived. <br /><br />The disruptive D was very impressive. Wow does the defensive look ready. I will include the secondary which I was expecting to be swiss cheese. Kudos to Matt Cahal for the INT and excellent play overall. Even Trevor Bell who looked very bad last season was a contributor. I'm not saying the secondary is solid but considering the skill of Fordham's receivers, they did better than was expected.<br /><br />So glad to see a different field goal kicker. Zgrablich is now handling kickoffs only and while I am not sold on his effectiveness as a kickoffs specialist, he did thwart a TD with his pursuit angle on 1 play.<br /><br />We have 2 QBs to consider and that is why I believe Hill got PT in the 4th quarter. That must have been the strategy all along. Skyler Mornhinweg is the obvious #1 and should play the whole game but they are giving Hill some PT. I like the offense's ability to get first downs, the good hands receivers, the flyers at RB.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-23808254220313076472015-09-20T09:48:59.851-07:002015-09-20T09:48:59.851-07:00I ran post-game into a former member of he '6...I ran post-game into a former member of he '62 Lions team, the only one which ever even shared an Ivy title (with two other teams), and asked his opinion of yesterday's showing. "It was everything I've hoped for" was his reply, delivered with a big smile. Life in some ways seems to begin at 62, when many of us are just filling out our AARP applications. <br /><br />I also both walked among the Fordham players post-game outside the stadium and then later that evening watched Ole Miss vs. Alabama. The Fordham players looked their ages. They were big kids, but still basically kids and college students. Approachable and coachable kids. By contrast the two Southern squads looked like men, all of them several years older. Why is that, I wonder.

I saw at least thre Ong Fordham completions which should have been intercepted had we played the ball. We also need better LB play. The TE should have been jammed, and our LBs have to wrap up. One final word about MYPs. The much maligned Kendall Pace had a great game at LT. He protected the blind side all day an beat his man on third down run blocking.oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-52885789672169712272015-09-20T05:04:36.320-07:002015-09-20T05:04:36.320-07:00From what I saw in this game, we should not go int...From what I saw in this game, we should not go into the Georgetown game hoping to win...<br /><br />...we should expect to win. <br /><br />Bagnoli and staff will improve the secondary a notch.
