Brown 48 Columbia 7
Why Brown Won
After a bit of a slow start, the Bears started moving the
ball at will. RB John Spooney was the catalyst, with a 45-yard TD run to get it
started and 187 total rushing yards on the day. QB Patrick Donnelly didn’t complete
as many passes as usual, but he did throw for four TD’s and 305 yards. WR
Tellef Lundevall had 151 yards receiving and a TD. The defense held Columbia to
just 206 total yards.
Why Columbia Lost
The Lions committed six turnovers and were just one of 16 on
third down conversions. The defense allowed 627 total yards. QB Trevor McDonagh
completed just 32% of his passes.
Key Turning Points
-After being forced into three-and-outs on both of their
first two possessions, the Bears started their third possession on their own 34
with 9:15 left in the 1st quarter. Three plays later, Spooney broke
free for his 45 yard TD run and the rout was on.
-Columbia had a slight chance to get back into it with 3:46
left in the 1st when Spooney fumbled and Mark Cieslak recovered it at the CU 43. But Columbia went
three-and-out on the ensuing possession and had to punt it away.
Columbia Positives
-RB Alan Watson had
a nice 43 yard run that didn’t lead to a score but it was nice.
-WR Toure Douglas
got open for a TD pass for Columbia’s only score. Preceding that TD catch, TE
Garrett DeMuth had a nice catch and run for 31 yards.
Columbia Negatives
-Too many to mention, but a particular problem was tackling.
Brown’s final TD was a comedy of bad tackling as Jordan Reisner changed
directions 3-4 times for a 31 yard score.

Who paid for that?

A lot of dropped passes. Too many to count. #88 is usually sure handed but had a bad day. As did the other receivers. I wonder if receivers are eye tested?
The joke is on you jokers. I didn't even see this! I have to admit all of you get under my skin but I won't resign and no one around here will fire me. Heck, with my unpredictable temper, everyone is afraid to even talk to me.
Don't say anything Pete. Remember, keep it in house!
Some people are urging alums to advise football recruits to forget about Columbia?
How is that possible on the part of loyal alumni, whatever the motivation?
