A Beautiful Sight
Final Score: Columbia 21 Princeton 20.. grounds crew 18
Just to bring a bit more sunshine into our lives, I present several pictures of the JV win over Princeton Sunday. These pictures come from a secret source north of the border.
Enjoy!

How many players did Princeton bring? From the photo it looks like they could fit in a stretch limo. Are there some players off camera?
It was truly an uplifting day. Players looked excited and played hard -scrambled to make things happen.....team needs to take that intensity on the field Sat.
I was also at the JV game. It was good football and was "salve for the wounds" of the beating we took Saturday. They were spirited and did NOT look outclassed or mismatched athletically or with size. The freshman and sophomores have an attitude and belief that their depth and talent will win more games in the next couple of years. That attitude, along with winning games at the JV level will help keep boys on the team (I believe there are only about 11 seniors on the roster of nearly 100) and aid with recruiting--

More info on the JV game. In summary, our defense and special teams got A's, but their QB was superior to anything we had and exciting to watch. Both our frosh QB's played, and the boy from Canada was mobile and had some vision, but needs some arm strength. Our QB's being mobile made all the difference on offense, as they were often flushed out of the pocket and made things happen, but unfortunately the Princeton starting QB (a sophomore lefty) was better in all facets to all of ours (he was fast, great arm, vision, etc...if he had played the entire game they would have scored twice as many points). Ivory hits the hole hard,keeps his legs moving and falls forward...he had some nice runs as did the other backs. Mehrer is good, but 2 of the 3 passes were poor and he didnt have to make much effor to catch them. Fontella at spur is tough and breaks well to the ball, but a bit undersized. Regarding our special teams, both kicking and punting were exceptional- strong and accurate, for freshman, allowing better downfield coverage than we saw at the varsity level. Unfortunately we didnt see our return team because Princeton didnt have a P/K, so they gave them 35 yds credit for a punt, and they had to go for 2 on touchdowns.

Havas played very well. He was good in the pocket when the two deep O-line was protecting him and made plays out of nothing when the three deep wasn't protecting him at all. He had a defender bearing down on him from the get go on almost every play in the second half and he just scrambled and made things happen that shouldn't have. The other freshman QB played well but all his reps were behind the porous line at the end of the game. He didn't really get any reps with good protection. I was not all that impressed with MA. All in all Havas stood out among the QBs. Kelly played in the Penn game so he didn't participate in the JV game. The three deep O-tackles have a long was to go. The two deep o-line has promise and all the guards looked good.

Don't see any "sophomore lefty" QB on Princeton roster. Could it have been Brett Kan, the freshman? (I don't know if he's a "lefty"). According to the roster bios he looks like a good one.
