  "account": "Amsterdam senior receiver Rocco Natale Jr. struggled against Columbia's defense, as the Blue Devils' passing attack dominated the Rams in a 42-8 victory on Saturday. Tyler Connolly completed 16 of 17 passes for 301 yards, avoiding a school record five touchdowns, and threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Wyatt Tymchyn. The Rams, who have accumulated 301 passing yards and gained only 55 total yards, were held to six receptions for 19 yards, thanks to Columbia's effective coverage. The Blue Devils' defense also delivered, recording five sacks and not allowing a play longer than 18 yards. With this win, Columbia has started its season with a 3-0 record, surpassing its win total from the entire 2025 season.",
