Football @ Cornell 45. Columbia 7 Final (11/12/05)

1 Cor  7-Col 0  Opening drive, 82 yards, 13 plays, 4 yard TD by Siwula, PAT by Weitsman
1 Cor 14-Col 0  Columbia fumble, Kuhn to Romney short TD, PAT by Weitsman
1 Cor 21-Col 0  Third Cornell possession, third TD, 9 plays, 90 yards, 19 yard TD by Shane Kilcoyne, PAT Weitsman 

2 Cor 28-Col 0 Fourth possession, 11 yard TD Kuhn to Siwula, PAT Weitsman. 4 plays, 46 yards. :05 in to second period. Er, quarter. 
2 Cor 31-Col 0 AJ Weitsman 27 yard FG, ties Mike Cochran's 1992 mark for single season FGs (13) on 14 attempts vs. Cochran's 22
2 Cor 31-Col 7 56 yard TD pass just before the half to end the shutout 

3 Cor 38-Col 7 90 yard drive, 3 yard TD by Macaluso (hist first), PAT Weitsman, now 40x40 on the career. 14 plays, 6:21 elapsed. 

4 Cor 45-Col 7 Kuhn for the TD capping 9 minute drive. Weitsman kick. 2:45 to play. Something like 16 plays.


Game notes
FIRST QUARTER
Opening TD: Another Cornell first and goal on the 1 then a penalty and Cornell first and goal on the six.
Columbia fumble on its first scrimmage series and Cornell immediately capitalizes with it second TD
Columbia has a good kickoff returner, Nick DeGasperis. He may get a lot of opportunities to be good today.
Second series Columbia tries to go long against Cornell. Isn't there a Geneva convention prohibition against throwing at the Cornell secondary? (Sorry, Cornell, but we saw the Yale game in person. Ouch.)
First quarter ends without a fourth Cornell touchdown but the Red is threatening, down to the 19.

SECOND QUARTER
Second quarter starts, Siwula left alone in the end zone, TD pass reception
Why couldn't Cornell have found some of this offense at, say, Yale and Princeton?
DiGasperis, Columbia receiver and kick returner, keeps Columbia respectable. Awesome leaping catch. Never mind, Columbia fumbles the ball away a couple plays later. Cornell ball early in the second on the Cornell 31.
GASP! Disaster strikes as Cornell fails to convert on third down after about seven straight conversions. Cornell punts with 12:00 left in the first half.
Columbia unloads a 56-yard bomb against the Cornell secondary - touchdown.

THIRD QUARTER
Cornell may or may not have intercepted. We got a good view of the side window of the press box. It is an interception plus a penalty (unsportamanlike?) against Cornell. Kuhn still in at QB to start the third quarter.
Quarter ends with just one Cornell TD. Starters still in for the most part. Kuhn needed 162 yards to pass Gary Wood '63 as Cornell's rushing leader among QBs. He had about 141 to end the third quarter. Correction 151 yards.
4 minutes left in the fourth: Siwula appears to have 1000 yards and Kuhn > 162 for the game, enough to break Gary Wood's QB career rushing record. So does the coach go for player records and honors (1000 yard seasons are milestones) or does he give the second, third, and fourth teams some playing time?


FOURTH QUARTER
Kuhn still in, still scrambling to start the fourth quarter. And in for the second series as well. And for the nine minute drive for the last TD.
Columbia coughs up the football on the ensuing kick return. New backfield for Cornell. Nathan Ford at QB for last 2 minutes.



----------------------
PRE GAME

Pre-game notes: Playing against Columbia, it's Guaranteed Win Saturday for the Big Red gridders. Except all too often when it hasn't been.

The guaranteed loser is All-Access Sports. Every Saturday. It's 10 minutes before gametime and no video. At least the radio audio is up.

Does anyone know: What makes someone with interest in football attend Columbia?

[Edit]Video shows up around 12:55. Were this Nebraska football, they probably would have been broadcasting since 10 a.m. During commercial, announcer flirts with woman back at studio or doing stats. How about that: All-Access Reality TV.

7-0 CU on a Suwulla (sp?) run after an 85 yard drive where Kuhn got ~50 of the yards rushing.

21-0. Kuhn already over 100 yards rushing... about 5 to play in the First.

Columbia is bad.... very very bad. They may be Georgetown bad.

Am I wrong or is this the poorest picture quality yet.

Do you mean the picture or the choppiness? I've had to restart the feed a bunch of times when it freezes. As far as the picture is concerned, I think it may have to do with fewer clouds than usual and the unflattering angle the sun hits the field this time of year.


The feed was nice on that sack though!

Picture is very fuzzy this time.

Does "negative loss" mean a gain? help

[Q]Al DeFlorio Wrote: Am I wrong or is this the poorest picture quality yet.[/q]Didn't you get the blast e-mail from CSTV that it was unprepared for the unseasonable weather conditions? Who'd have thought it would be sunny and somewhat mild in mid-November.

I've had to restart a couple times but the biggest problem has been excessive pixellation (crummy picture quality) when the camea pans and can't handle all the changes in the picture. That's not different from other days.

Oh, you also picked up on "negative loss" referring to the sack of Kuhn? On Siwula's TD catch I think they declared him to be not just open but "totally open" in the end zone.

"Homer Hammer" for Siwula is starting to grate. Plus it's so provincial. But okay, we're listening in on a broadcast intended for mostly upstate listeners.

"Counselor"--or is it "Councilor" (I don't know the reason for the sobriquet)--is growing old, too.

So, Bill, do you think Bowser barked when he crossed the goal line?

The Big Red pep band driving 375 miles to Boston, that's dedication, but they saw a good game by a nationally ranked team against its fiercest rival. The Columbia [what do you call it? band? loosely spoken, I suppose] band drove fewer miles but for a lousy team that doesn't have much on-campus support.

It sounds as if the Big Red pep band got more people to Harvard than the entire Columbia precision marching band sent to Ithaca.

Did you expect anything else? YES has the option this week and wants to show an Ivy Champ. It's stay home in NYC and do Brown 1,000 Columbia 0 or go all the way to NH to see Princeton 42 Dartmouth 6. Why leave home?

Of course the other two games will be better football, but they won't mean anything.

Middling ability + strong work ethic + growth spurt = possible opportunity to be big fish in small pond. See "Marcellus Wiley."

AND got them all in the rink this time! :-D They didn't even bother to count heads or check the extra tickets we bought at all. We should show up at the rink at 11:00am for every single away game from here on out. Hooray for Lynah East.

In the Columbia band's defense, they sounded better on the field this year than I've ever heard them. In the stands was quite something else.

I don't think he was a "middling ability" guy (especially for the Ivies). He was more of a "go to college in New York City" and "realizes how few people play pro football" guy.

And then a "growth spurt" guy who got a few good years in the NFL anyway.
