Quarterback Landon O’Connor is 20-51-5 for 253 yards and four touchdowns. Tyler Ramsey and Alvell Robinson are the leading tacklers on the team with 27 each. O’Connor is right behind them with 26.
The last time these two met was in 1977, as the Cowboys pulled out a 21-20 win. Columbia leads the all-time series, 13-5-1.
