Brown Game Notes
Leading Story Lines
1) This is Brown's last realistic chance to win a league game and you have to expect the Bears to put their best effort forward. This is also their final home game and senior day.
2) Columbia still has a chance to post a winning season despite the unusual amount of injuries that have plagued the team. But it's hard to know just where the Lions' strengths and weaknesses truly are with all the backups starting. One problem that is clear is pass defense, which has to have Brown's generally effective passing offense feeling hopeful.
3) Dissent is growing among the Brown faithful as the Bears have now posted five disappointing seasons in a row. If Brown loses today, look for serious calls for Head Coach Phil Estes to step down.
