Leading Story Lines
1) Cornell comes in on an amazing high after stunning previously undefeated Dartmouth in Hanover last week. The Lions come in on a low after losing to Brown at home and ending the Bears 20-game Ivy losing streak.
2) A key match up will be the Cornell offensive line's pass protection against the Columbia pass rush. If QB Richie Kenny gets time, the Big Red win. If not, they likely lose.
3) Another key match up will be the Cornell rush defense against the Lion running back by committee approach. If the Big Red shuts down the run, they win.

If you told me that we'd beat Harvard and THEN get blown away by Brown and Cornell I'd have recommended that you move to one of those Western
states where funny cigarettes are available with and without a prescription. But then again , this was a season of fits and starts, a good performance followed by a disappointing one, so there was consistent inconsistency. Once again we were defeated by superior line play and as Jake pointed out, if they got their running game going we would be introuble,and so we were. Penalties by seniors are troubling. You'd think that after 30-40 games or so there would be a learning curve. Old Lion used to rant and rave about DB's not turning around to play the ball- we haven't figured that out yet.Is Lenhart the problem going forward, or was he done done in by injuries to his receivers and spotty blocking up front? There - Im done ranting, and I miss Anders Hill and 2017...
