You can probably guess what happened.

"I can see it, but I can't remember it," Ludwig said, owning an ear-to-ear grin. "I bobbled it once."

Maybe he was still in denial. It's not every day that you tie the Princeton all-time record for interceptions in one game during its 125th year of football.

What's more, Ludwig was almost on the other side of the field.

"There's no reason I didn't go to Harvard," Ludwig said. "I just felt more comfortable here."

Over the summer, he worked on his receiving skills--his first love--in hopes of making the Tiger offense. But now, fate hath ensured that Ludwig will always be a safety.

"Before today, I liked offense a lot more," he said.

Eventually, the hordes of reporters left his side, and moved on to get some quotes from other people, having heard enough from the young safety.

The smile did not leave his face, though. Ludwig did look a bit goofy and giddy, but hey, who's going to spoil the feeling of a record holder?

"I haven't really thought about that," said Ludwig when asked about his place among the all-time greats. "It feels good.

"I can't compare it to anyone that came before me."

I don't know if good 'ol Tom has taken his first midterm yet. He may not even know his way around the Princeton campus.

But on Saturday, Ludwig was The Man. Perhaps it was only due to good Man. Perhaps it was only due to good luck, but he as much as anyone won the game for the Tigers.

You had to smile and pat him on the back.
