The Columbia Spectator's Matt Velazquez is reporting that Princeton's standout running back, senior Jordan Culbreath, sustained an injury in Saturday's win at Lehigh and is questionable for this weekend.
The reigning Ivy League rushing champ's absence would significantly lighten the load on the Columbia defense, which allowed 325 yards rushing against Central Connecticut State this weekend.
Rush defense, specifically containing scrambling quarterbacks, has been an early weakness for the Lions, who will encounter another mobile signal caller in Tommy Wornham this Saturday in Princeton.
Culbreath's status could be an x-factor for the Tigers, who would carry a dangerous advantage in the ground game with a fully healthy backfield.
Princeton and Columbia will do battle at 3 PM this Saturday. Coverage can be found at 89.9 FM in New York, and online at WKCR.org, where yours truly will provide the play by play.
