Start the thread.
Can Cornell's offense score against a good Columbia defense and will Cornell's defense show similar effort as it did vs Dartmouth.

Columbia is a really good team, In fact, I would say they are much better balanced team than Dartmouth.  They have a better offense than Dartmouth has.  It's going to take a great defensive effort and mistaken free offensive game to beat them.

Just after the announcers said "Zhao hasn't missed a field goal all season" Zhao badly missed a 30 yarder albeit with a hellacious wind. All kicks will be an adventure today

wind really killing both teams here. 0-0 midway through Q2

Right after i posted, Columbia hit two nice passes to get to the 1 and the QB punched it in. Cornell came right back, aided by a nifty fake punt that included an inside toss to a DL who ran for 30+ before eventually getting a 34 yard FG.

7-3 Columbia with 2 minutes left in the half.
