offense

The Lions dropped their fourth straight game this weekend against Dartmouth, surrendering nine points in the final two minutes to end hope of getting their first Ivy win of the season.

There has been one truly striking difference between the 2006 Columbia football team and the 2007 edition. Last season, all the talk was about a defense that gave up an average of 16 points per game and scared offenses out of their initial game plans by showing a variety of blitz and rushing packages. In 2007, it has been the Lions’ offense that has taken its game to another level, as the team has improved its scoring average by nearly 10 points per contest.
