Columbia 43, Fordham 26

Columbia easily disposed of Fordham, 43-26, in its first regular season game. Junior quarterback Jeff McCall completed 13 of 18 passes, threw of which were caught in the end zone for touchdowns. Fordham actually led 26-21 at halftime, but the Lions put on their game faces for round No. 2, scoring 22 unanswered and clinching the victory.

Halfback Johnathan Reese added 172 rushing yards and two touchdowns for Columbia. Defensively, cornerback Philip Murray intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble. Harvard will have to watch out for Murray, who also recorded 11 tackles, a team high. Columbia's 43 points were the most the team had scored in 28 years.

Lehigh 17, Penn 10

Lehigh (2-0), who actually might be the best team in Pennsylvania this year, defeated Penn 17-10, though Quaker quarterback Gavin Hoffman broke a school record with 36 pass completions and 356 total yards. Though overshadowed by Yale's quest for 800, Penn continues to search for win No. 725. It has a chance to earn that victory next week against Lafayette.
