Yale running back Buddy Zachery's 82-yard TD was the third longest TD run from scrimmage in Yale history.
They're Not Lion About It: Columbia's 44-game losing streak wasn't the only one that came to abrupt end last weekend in the Lions' 16-13 victory over Princeton. Tiger place-kicker Chris Lutz had his run of 17 straight field goals snapped at the end of the game when his 49-yard attempt fell short.
Lion tailback Greg Abbruzzese, brother of Harvard lacrosse player Martha Abbruzzese, was named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week. He averaged five yards-per-carry against the Tigers, rushing 37 times for 182 yards. The sophomore also caught three receptions for 34 yards.
Columbia defensive end Mark Zielinski was the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week. The senior recorded seven solo tackles, three assists and two sacks for a total loss of 18 yards.
The Lions did not commit a single turnover in their victory over Princeton. The last time Columbia did that was in its 44-0 win over Fordham on October 4, 1972. The good ol' days.
Cornell QB Craig Cochrane was named Ivy League Sophomore Player of the Week. Cochrane relieved starter Aaron Smith in the fourth quarter and completed three-of-six passes for 33 yards. He also ran three times for 15 yards in Cornell's 19-17 victory over Harvard.
