Two thoughts on Pitsenberger taking a knee rather than scoring untouched with just over two minutes to go:

- it was a smart play in terms of winning the game. It gave Yale a first and goal at the half hard line, with the Lions out of timeouts. After the two minute timeout, Yale could take victory formation snaps, assuring themselves of the win with no chance of giving Columbia the ball. Obviously Yale would have had a 21 point lead if he’d scored but the game wouldn’t have been done.

- will this be the right decision with Ivy teams eligible for at-large playoff slots along with the guaranteed slot for the champion? I don’t think Yale gets an at-large slot in any case but Ivy coaches will need to think about running up the score in the future, given the relevance of polls.
