A busy Weekend

6 Days Until Kickoff!

It's only Sunday, but it's already been a busy weekend for Lions fans as we find ourselves less than a week from the long-awaited season opener at home against Fordham.

The Rams were the focus of most of my attention last night as I listened to the Fordham radio station WFUV's broadcast of the game at Albany. Fordham surprised me a bit with its 9-7 victory, but what's most troubling is the Rams strenghts seems well-matched to the Lions' weaknesses. Fordham offense can't seem to do much right, but their star back James Prydatko had another very strong game and their defense was much sharper in their second game, especially against the run. The running game on both sides of the ball was a major problem for Columbia last year and they will surely be tested by the Fordham defensive line and Prydatko no matter how weak the rest of the Rams are.
