Transcript of Associated File:

Um… one story I especially like to focus on on Defense is uh…  a couple years ago, it was actually a year before I got here um… Princeton, it was the last game of the year and Princeton was undefeated um… had the best ranked uh… offense in the nation or in the league, one of the best in the nation. Umm… and… so they are going into the game, they’re thinking they are going you know to run us over have the Ivy League Championships themselves, um… basically go down in the history books as one of the best uh…  teams ever. Um… and all of a sudden right before the game starts there’s just this giant blizzard that just hits. Uh… They said snow is just falling from the sky, you could barely see anything. Umm… It was just a really hard fought game, really close game um… and we won on the last play but, they tried to throw a Hail Mary and our safety intercepted the ball, took a knee and everyone just everyone went wild, the crowd, the players, everything.
