Columbia Game Notes
Cornell Game Notes
Leading Story Lines
1) Columbia and Cornell meet in the season finale for the first time since 1904, thanks to a reshuffling of the Ivy schedule that began this year. This is the 106th meeting between the teams, who began their rivalry in the 1880s and have played each other every year since 1920. Ending the season against the Big Red adds a bit more drama to the Empire State Bowl, as the game was officially named in 2010.
2) Columbia is going for its first back-to-back winning seasons since 1961-62. Achieving a 6-4 record with a win today would be a strong team statement after losing its top three QB's, best WR, best LB, and many more to injuries this season. Cornell is looking to leap the Lions in the Ivy standings with its third Ivy win of the season.
3) This is the final game for some remarkable players. For Columbia, DB and two-time captain Landon Baty will be in the spotlight. For the Big Red, talented QB Dalton Banks will go under center for the last time.
