Poughkeepsie Push


A bird's eye view of Marist

Columbia Lions (0-0) at Marist Red Foxes (0-1)

September 17, 2022

Game Time Weather Forecast: 74 degrees and sunny

The Line: Columbia is favored by 21 points

TV/Radio: The game is available on ESPN3 and via the Columbia Athletics Website



Leading Story Lines

1) Columbia begins its 2022 season with higher expectations than at any time in recent memory. Many will be looking to see if the Lions can play a complete game against a heavy underdog.

2) Marist was mauled by Georgetown in its first game, 43-12. Its program will be looking to show some signs of life. 

3) How will the new starters and replacements for injured starters perform at a number of key positions for Columbia? The biggest subset of this question is the Columbia running game and how it will perform with 5th year co-captain RB Ryan Young out for the game. That goes for yards gained and especially ball security.


3 Columbia Players to Watch

-QB Joe Green looks to improve on his Ivy Rookie of the Year campaign in 2021 with a newly bulked up frame and a more pass-happy playbook.

-WR Bryson Canty looks to cash in on a stellar training camp and make a run at being a top WR in the Ivies. 

-CB Seth Parker can make his case for being Columbia's first truly shutdown corner since Cameron Roane '18


3 Marist Players to Watch

-Freshman QB Brock Bagozzi had a tough opening game against Georgetown, he will need to bounce back.

-Senior safety Teddy Wright may be Marist's best player. 

-Senior WR Scott Scherzer will likely be the man testing the Columbia secondary.

Nursing a hamstring, should be back by next week but definitely back by Princeton game.

I recommend the Captains Corner podcast—I was really impressed by our four captains; very bright, personable and articulation; and even funny at times. i can see why they were elected captains.
