Title: Cornell vs Penn football 11/8/25
Post by: rss77 on November 08, 2025, 11:03:52 AM
Start the thread.  Cornell secondary will have a rough time covering Penn's NFL prospect-the wideout Richardson.

If they can keep the Penn passing yards under 300. and the game points under 30, it will be an accomplishment.  Penn's passing offense is explosive and their QB is a great runner as well.

Penn unis are sweet except that dumb side stripe; can't tell if their colors are better or my monitor is.

We have no right to be anywhere close* by the 4th, right?  Nice to see real yardage.  May the field rise to meet us.

* Line is 10.5

IINM if we flopped on it in the end zone we get 1.  If we flopped on it at the 1 yard line dead ball we can't advance it.  If Penn grabbed it and returned it to our goal they get 2.

And B-S to the left side has been precise.

This is a good drive to put emotional distance between the Penn O and that 75-yard run.

Penn D must be tired, too.  Unintended consequence of a 1-play drive.

Alas, I think the losses to H and Y doom us since we will lose all H2H tiebreakers that matter. Don't know for sure if there is possibly some 4-team tiebreaker where 2-2 has some staying power but I doubt it.

I don't think there's a path. Just a miracle shared Ivy Title.

If H loses to Penn and Yale and
Yale loses to Princeton
And Penn beats Princeton
And Cornell wins out.
There are four 5-2s
Harvard would be 1-2 against the group of four
Penn would be 1-2
Cornell would be 1-2
Yale would be 3-0

If Yale loses both to fall to 4-3, it means Harvard is no worse than 6-1. There's no scenario where a tie of any kind with Yale works to Cornell's advantage and the only way to not tie Yale is to be a full game behind Yale or Harvard.

It's all exceedingly unlikely anyway but it's nice to be in a title race on paper in mid-November.
