But the defense might be good enough to keepthem in the game for a while. Led by fourseniors-first team All-Ivy linebacker DesWirthman, cornerback Kevin Robinson, defensive endJim Daine and tackle Gary Kasprzak--the unit isColumbia's strongest in years.

Werthman broke the Columbia season tacklerecord with 184 stops, while the others areAll-Ivy candidates.
