Corey Cameron was everywhere Princeton did not want him to be.  The senior linebacker totaled 13 tackles, including a huge solo tackle on a pivotal fourth down try, helping Columbia to its first Ivy League shutout in more than 10 years. Cameron was named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week (10/5) for his performance vs. the Tigers.
