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 TD. Boo & etc.

A 3rd down stop would be nice.
Huge gain on a post route. Nice!
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
Bah. There's the Red offense I know.
Truly stupid play-calling and time-out calling inside the 10.
What our D cannot stop perhaps the refs can.

There is it. Great play by #2. 47 yd FG by Penn though, nice poke.
Hamilton's catch on the late drive is exactly the play we would have blown 2 years ago.
Lee! Great drive plus another killer Penn penalty.
David: Philadelphia's Rafi. 13-10. Just prevent kickoff disaster.
Holy shit, there's David Himself. That, keeeds, is what is known as a "shit-eating grin."
This Penn ad with sulking models in black looks like a fashion ad.
Edit: Oh shit, it is a fashion ad. I guess "Rudsack" is what you wear if you think TED Talks are profound.
Fumble!!!
Nice way to start the second half.
Penn: "Can't allow long yardage if you give them a short field" < taps head >
Touchdown!!!
A block extra point is a live ball. Why were people standing around wondering what to do?

I wonder if the moderator can add a laughy face button in addition to the like heart.
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.

Penn announcer sounds like Karoline Leavitt: "That fumble and touchdown were a good thing for Penn because they're a motivator."
And now a third down stop. Let's have another long drive and start to open up some daylight.

Kid who blocked it for Penn was my son's volleyball teammate in high school. Nice kid. And huge. Added sixty pounds at Penn.
LOL well that didn't work. :-) 25-10.

Very cool! I hope he is unhappy tonight though.
So I guess you are not class of '60? Or you are and you have a vast amount of money.

Never seen multiple players calling fair catch before. :D

May Harvard hockey
never figure this out!
Pass interference on a ball that drops 25 yards beyond our wideout. I'll take it.
Triplett eating 6 yards per carry.
Pretty sure that was a fumble but we recovered in the EZ. Why review?
"When local kids go pro in Philly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1mn9m_1h5U&list=RDm1mn9m_1h5U&start_radio=1)."
Didn't need that.
Lee with great YAC.
Our O line came to play today.
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.
Wow Lee is a beast.
Great 1D. I thought we were going to try to draw the offside and then call TO and punt. This is as new team.
Poop. Offensive interference.
Holy cats Hamilton. :o
The announcers are speechless.
We actually look...
... good? :o
39-17 holy fuck.
I'm so happy I might buy a car from Dave Kelleher.
If we can hold on it looks like:
5-0 Harvard
4-1 Yale
3-2 Cornell
3-2 Dartmouth
3-2 Penn

So the "hope is still alive" scenario is:
Cornell beats D and Col to get to 5-2
Penn beats H
Pr beats Y
Y beats H
And it's 5-2 madness.
Who wins in that scenario? The team that won least recently? That's gotta be us.

Kurtz looks like Hiscock out there.
Now we find out who the coach isn't concerned if they get hurt.
Great win! Let's keep it rolling!

I'm neither class of '60 nor sitting on vast amounts of money.
Very impressed by how we ran an aggressive offense. 200th Ivy win!

It was an AND not an OR. ;)
First 4-game win streak for Cornell football since Boris Yeltsin ran Russia.
started reading this thread at the beginning knowing the outcome and... lol. can't wait to watch the highlights.

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.
Cornell's first 4 wins in a row streak since 1999....26 years ago.
