Title: Cornell vs. Harvard Football
Post by: scoop85 on October 11, 2014, 02:02:14 PM
0-0 about 7 minutes into the 2nd quarter.

The good news: Cornell defense has 4 takeaways.  The bad news:  The offense has looked inept, and the offensive line is completely overmatched by the Harvard defensive line.

Worse news is not covering a wide receiver on 4th and 14 at the Cornell 35.  7-0 Harvard.

10-0 with 14:20 left in the 3rd.  Cornell punting from own 46.

Now, terrible coverage on punt allows Harvard to get to their own 40.

Valiant effort by defense today, but with the offense we have right now it will be tough to win games.

Let's keep in mind Harvard's third-string QB is playing today.

True -- he has not been especially impressive.

It seems as if Harvard knows what play we are running as we get to the line of scrimmage

On first down it's easy:  Hagy up the middle for no gain.

Great effort by D.  Too many slow-developing--and slowly-executed--plays on offense.  Not impressed by play-calling, either.

No running game is means no offensive production especially with a freshman QB.

So much for Yale being the best in the Ivies and a top 25 (championship division) team in the wake of three high scoring wins the first three weeks. Dartmouth took down Yale 38-31. Harvard and Dartmouth are 2-0; Harvard is 4-0 overall. Princeton is 1-0. Cornell, Penn and Columbia are all 0-4 overall. Cornell is the only team averaging under 10 points a game on offense but Columbia is barely better. http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/sports/fball/2014-15/standings
