NEW YORK - Columbia will host Brown in the season finale on NBC Sports Network at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20.

HISTORY LESSON
The Lions are 26-51-2 all-time against Brown, with the last win in the series coming in the 2011 season finale by a 35-28 margin. A season ago, the Bears were victors in a 41-7 game in Providence.

BAGNOLI vs. ESTES
Al Bagnoli has squared off with Brown head coach Phil Estes every season since 1998. Estes owns a 9-8 all-time record against Coach Bagnoli, who is slightly better in his career against the Bears at 13-10. A season ago, Bagnoli's Penn squad dropped a 21-13 game against Brown.

LAST TIME OUT
Running back Cameron Molina rushed for a career-high 151 yards, but the Lions were unable to find the end zone in a 3-0 loss at Cornell. Brock Kenyon led the defense with eight tackles and Jared Katz had four pass breakups, while the Big Red's field goal on the opening drive was the difference-maker in the road loss.

BROWN'S STATUS
Losers of three straight, Brown comes comes into the contest at 4-5 overall and 2-4 in Ivy League play. This past Saturday, Dartmouth visited Providence and came away with a 34-18 win. Brown brings one of the league's top quarterback/wide receiver combinations into the matchup, as senior Marcus Fuller is second with 269.8 passing yards a game, and junior Alexander Jette is second with 101.1 receiving yards a game.

20 THANK YOU'S

BIG DAY FOR MOLINA
The 151 rushing yards for Cameron Molina at Cornell were a career high, with his high total of 118 yards also coming against the Big Red in 2014. Molina's day was the best outing for a Columbia running back since Marcorus Garrett also ran for 151 yards in 2013 against Monmouth.

GET OFF THE FIELD!
The Columbia defense ranks first in the Ivy League and sixth in the FCS, holding opponents to only 27 percent on third down conversions. The Lions are also 13th nationally in total defense at 297.8 yards a game, and 19th in scoring defense at 18.9 points given up per game.

NOWHERE TO RUN

ON YOUR HONOR
Molina and Katz earned a spot on the Ivy League Honor Roll this past week for their efforts in the road loss. On the season, Columbia has had members of the football team named to the Ivy League Honor Roll 16 times, and has had two additional conference players of the week.

BACK IN THE “W” COLUMN
The win at Yale was the first Ivy League victory since the Lions topped Cornell, 34-17, on Nov. 10, 2012.

A REUNION OF SORTS
Bagnoli was among four members of the Columbia staff that coached against a former team in the Penn game.

Offensive Line Coach/Run Game Coordinator Jon McLaughlin spent nine years in Philadelphia from 2006-14 as the offensive coordinator and coach of the offensive line. Tight Ends Coach Joe D'Orazio won two Ivy League titles as a player at Penn in 2009 and 2010.
