Aided by three Columbia fumbles which resulted in 17 points, Yale leads 31-7 at halftime.

Adam Money had recovered two of the fumbles while Sean Williams has a forced fumble and fumble recovery.

Yale has 245 yards of offense as Patrick Witt is 16 of 20 for 187 yards. He had touchdown passes of 10 and 15 yards to freshman Cameron Sandquist and 16 yards to sophomore Allen Harris. Alex Thomas had a 42-yard touchdown run on Yale's second offensive play.

Columbia has 102 yards of offense and 89 of them came on one drive which was capped by former Griswold High star Sean Brackett throwing an 8-yard TD pass to ex-Staples standout Andrew Kennedy.

The story of the game other has to be the complete turnaround by Yale's offensive and defensive lines. Brackett has only been sacked once but has been under duress the entire first half while Witt has received great protection for the most part.
