Leading Story Lines


1) This is going to be a defining game for both teams, because it's very hard to define how good they are even after four games. The Lions have really only had their top starting QB on the field for one entire game, and the Quakers can say the same about their top WR. Right now, it looks like Princeton and Dartmouth are well ahead of the rest of the league, but CU and Penn are two teams that could be very good or just pretenders. 


2) I'm not a big believer in the "bad blood" myth, but the Quakers are clearly a bit more steamed than usual after last year's OT loss in New York. 


3) Can Columbia handle another big play WR after getting torched by Marist's Juston Christian last week? Look for Penn to test the Lion secondary early and often.
