34-18 Penn 7:24 left in the 4th. Looks like 1-9 season record. Cornell had numerous chances in the 3rd quarter with field position, but a stalled drive inside the Penn 25 and a fumble in the endzone ended those chances. Gave up another long TD pass in 3rd as a momentum changer. I think we've bottomed out as a program, no where to go but up... I hope.

Final 34-26. Nice try by Cornell. The difference was Cornell's 3 red zone chances with no points including a fumble lost into the end zone.

We don't have anyone who can kick an extra point?
4 TDs today but only 26 points. (failed 2-pt conversion, missed PAT, blocked PAT, successful 2-pt conversion)

And IIRC the Cornell Sports twitter feed, two failed fourth downs in (theoretical) field goal range because we don't have a kicker.ebilmes

At some point in the Jay Spiegel era (he the inventor of the NFL kicking tee), Cornell football turned to the sprint football team (Spiegel) and I believe someone from intramurals for kicking help.ugarte

As a former freshman team kicker in the late 70s, I'd think that would be a spot that could be filled without too much problem. With the growth of youth soccer these days, there are lots of kids with strong legs out there. Can't they recruit someone off the soccer team, a la Steven Hauschka?

Soccer and football are the same season. Getting someone to switch from soccer to a really, really awful football team might not be an easy sell. Especially in these days when soccer is sadly no longer a fringe sport in the US.Chris H82

I for one welcome the coming day when football players start switching to soccer. Imagine for a moment the Seahawks' defensive backfield as the USMNT midfield, playing the Azzurri. I would pay quite a bit to see that, provided I was allowed to come armed.

They wouldn't be allowed to drape themselves over the opposition quite so liberally if they were playing soccer, though.Trotsky

Having lived there for 6 years, I think that Richard Sherman would be challenged to outdo Matterazzi when it comes to trash talk. And the opportuinites for diving would be amazing - maybe up to this level.
