I don't think so. Bucknell has a huge OL line that will push the smaller Cornell DL around.  Unless Cornell doesn't give the deep pass and can control the clock with their offense by running the ball, I don't see a win here.

Stupid play call...and throw...costs a touchdown.  Cornell trying hard to commit every penalty in the book.  Amazingly, ahead 7-0.

Pick for six makes it 14-0.

Seven penalties in first 20 minutes.::bang::  Still...24-0.

Bucknell's starting QB is out.

From the tenor of these comments, I gather that Cornell is LOSING 24-0?

Yes.  This "tough crowd" is appalled by 11 penalties for 105 yards in half a game.

Edit:  make that 12 penalties, many undisciplined.

Dumb penalties by Cornell leads to good Bucknell field position and 27-14 game now.  Cornell letting Bucknell gain all the momentum now to start the 2nd half.

After yet more penalties, Bucknell scores with 14 seconds left to get within 27-14. We are giving Bucknell every opportunity to stay in this game, and besides the penalties our defense is getting exposed.

Cornell has made a lot of mistakes, but Colgate insists on making more.

Bucknell's QB has had little game experience and it shows in execution and in the coaching staff's play-calling.

It is now. final score 34-21. it was 34-14 at one point. it was never closer than 13 once we went up 14-0.

looking over the play-by-play and this is high comedy. After we scored on our opening drive, Bucknell drove and fumbled on the 1. We drove 95 yards before Wang threw an interception. On third down Bucknell threw a pick 6.

12 penalties for 120 yards isn't a stat that will allow winning many games.  At least two penalties were made by freshman players. I'm sure the coaches will use this as a lesson to be learned.

Looking at the optics I did not think they would win this one. Good to be wrong.  Banbury had a monster game.

Did your "optics" include Bucknell starting an inexperienced QB?

Were the penalties evenly distributed between offense and defense, or was the offensive line trying to hard to compensate for the perceived Bucknell superiority in aestheticism there?

Lesson apparently learned at halftime.  Announcers said Swanstrom kept team on sidelines 5-10 minutes before heading to locker room.
