QUICK HITS

HISTORY LESSON
Today marks the 85th meeting between the two historic programs, in a series dating back to 1899. Dartmouth holds a 66-17-1 edge over Columbia, and have won the last five games.

DARTMOUTH'S STATUS
The Big Green come in to the contest winners of three straight, and a perfect 2-0 in Ivy League play. The lone loss for Dartmouth came on the road at No. 4 New Hampshire. Last weekend, Dartmouth won its Homecoming game over Holy Cross, 24-21.

TWO FOR 200
Junior quarterback Trevor McDonagh earned his first start of the season last weekend, and threw for over 200 yards for the second straight week. McDonagh finished 26-for-50, with 266 yards and a touchdown. Coming off of the bench the week before at Monmouth, the quarterback threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns.

FIRST-YEAR FIRSTS
In the first quarter against Penn, first-year tight end Zach Dansby caught his first career touchdown. The score came off a six-yard reception that gave Columbia a 6-0 lead after the Lions' first drive of the game.

TARGET PRACTICE
McDonagh completed passes to 10 different targets on Saturday, as Marcus Briscoe caught the most passes with five, and Ryan Flannery had the most receiving yards with 54. This was the first time 10 or more receivers caught a pass since Nov. 16, 2013, when McDonagh completed passes to 11 targets against Cornell.

THE CAPTAIN
Senior Ray Pesanello recovered his first career fumble last Saturday against Penn. The linebacker also added five tackles, and a pass breakup. On the season, Pesanello is third on the team with 28 tackles.

BROTHER FROM ANOTHER
For the second straight week, a set of parents are forced to make difficult Saturday decisions when their sons' will be facing off against each other. Last weekend, the Schwartz family saw Roy battle his twin brother, Matt, who is a senior fullback at Penn. The Flores family is up this week, when Charlie squares off with his brother, Jacob, who is a junior offensive lineman at Dartmouth.  

PINNING THEM DEEP
One of the top punters in the Ivy League will be on display today, as Cameron Nizialek suits up for Columbia. The sophomore brings a 40.7-yard average into the game, while the Lions have done a great job covering his punts. Columbia has a net punting average of 37.1, which is tops in the conference, and 20th in the FCS.

TACKLING TOBA
Through four games, Toba Akinleye has put on a show at defensive end, leading the team in four defensive categories. The junior is the top Lion in tackles (42), tackles for a loss (4.0), sacks (2.5), and fumble recoveries (2).

FOURTH DOWN SUCCESS
Columbia has been successful all year long on fourth down. For the season, the Lions are 7-for-10 on fourth down. The 70 percent conversion rate is third best in the conference. The Lions also have had success getting off the field on fourth down, allowing just two conversions in five attempts.

ADAMS AND MARTIN MAKE THE CUT

Adams joined the Houston Texans off of waivers at the end of training camp, but has yet to suit up this season. Martin has been active in all six games in 2014 for the Kansas City Chiefs and has totaled seven tackles on the year.

2014 HALL OF FAMERS
Columbia football had two more representatives being inducted into the Columbia University Athletics Hall of Fame Thursday, when Al Barabas '36CC and the 1996 squad taking their rightful places among the Lions' greats.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON
Two current Lions' are the second generation of players that have suited up for Patricia and Sheapard Alexander Head Coach Pete Mangurian.
