Remarkable poise today from the freshman quarterback, who would be a lock for league rookie of the week if he weren't also the frontrunner for offensive player of the week. Good to see Giorgi and Canty finishing strong.

So for the first time since I started paying attention 25 years ago, our Lions go into Week 10 with a chance at a share of the league title. And a decent shot, too: Take care of business at home with Cornell and hope Yale can beat Harvard, as Brown did, as Dartmouth nearly did, as Penn nearly did today.

Thanks are due to Coaches Bagnoli, Fabish and Poppe, to Director Pilling and the Athletic Department, and, most of all, to the players and their families for turning the program around, for proving that Columbia football can win, for making the Lions something like perennial contenders.

Great comment. We should all appreciate everyone who has had a hand in Col football over the last decade or so. Lots of negativity on Jake’s blog. I always assume disgruntled parents.

The players are not interested in moral victories. They would love a piece of the title, but they know they didnt take care of business when they could control their own destiny. I find that refreshing - accountability.

Cornell can not only beat the lions, their offense can make them look bad. I hope they come ready to play. If they take care of business we can then hold our noses and root for Y

The thing about Harvard-Yale is one of them has to win. This year, it might as well be Yale —

How did Penn put up 67 points on Cornell? P, shame Penn wilted at the end after outplaying Harvard for 58 minutes

Now our win at Penn seems even better - but honestly, the Penn kicker missed a pretty easy field goal - with under 2 minutes left - somewhat like the our usually super dependable Columbia kicker missing two during the game - also similar to our women's team - two missed free throws at last second of game and we lost 68-67
