WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University football team (2-2) fell on the road 30-0 to Columbia on Saturday afternoon.
ON THE RECORD
"It was obviously not the result that we wanted. It was a tough day from the start. We had a hard time getting on track offensively and had a difficult time stopping the run. I want to give Columbia a lot of credit and congrats to coach Fabish on his first career win. There are a ton of things that we are going to learn from this. We are going to regroup when we get back to D.C. and start preparing for a great homecoming weekend game with Fordham coming to the Hilltop." - Head Coach
