Let's start the thread
Cornell scores on first possession!
14-0 Big Red!
This is nuts. Looks like another team swapped out with Lehigh or they're throwing the game.
That's more like it.
Almost 21-0, but 99 yard fumble recovery, so 14-7.
21-7! From scrimmage 311 - 3 yards!

30 plays from scrimmage to 6!
24-7!
How are we kicking the snot outta a 6-0 team?

Ain't over 'til it's over...but fun so far!
When they go to break, ESPN is breathing heavy at me. Should I be alarmed or aroused?
31-10!
Is the Lehigh fight song Waltzing Matilda?
31 - 17 couldn't get a stop.
Instant announcer jinx: "Cornell, which has been so much better at stopping the run this season...".
31-24 now. Uh oh.
Well – What started out as a great game for Cornell, reverted back to their normal selves. Just like last weekend, wide open receivers now on back-to-back touchdowns for Lehigh. They are now back in the game. They did have a great first half but now falling apart defensively. This goes back to what I've been saying, not enough size or talent on the D line especially.

Might take 50+ to win.
Just brutal Defense
Lehigh is #4 in FCS.
We could have used that early TD.
Holy shit that was risky.
3 runs for the 1D...
... and that opens up the pass.
Pop Warner would be proud. Maybe. Were forward passes legal yet with Pop Warner?
HOLY FUCK WHAT A CATCH!!!
Credit where it's due. Lehigh points against this season:
10 Holy Cross
14 Georgetown
20 William & Mary
20 Dartmouth
7 Penn
0 Fordham
45 Cornell (in progress)

A stop here and all is forgiven.
HOLY SHIT
This is a legitimately entertaining game. I did not see that coming.
That helps.
LOL. Of course.
Double coverage but both men high, no defense when it comes in low.
I don't know whether that is poor execution or dems da breaks.
You have got to be kidding me – what in God's name are those defensive backs doing?
Yes going back to the Harvard we struggle in coverage against quality receivers.
Beautiful run by our unpronounceable QB.

Doesn't everybody? By definition?
If we have any sort of a placekicker...
Bad throw, way to take advantage.

ho. lee. shit.

good pressure!
Great win knocking off a highly ranked team. I didn't expect this outcome.
Arguably the biggest win for the program in 89 years.
WIH takes both games from 14th ranked Vermont.
Finally- a defensive back makes a play and we get a signature win!!
Gotta feel great for the players, coaches, staff. Great job.
Harvard is sobering; we probably have no shot at an Ivy title. But 4-3 / 6-4? Maybe? As Bear pointed out, that would be out best in 20 years.
Did TE Ryder Kurtz play in the game? I don't see him in the receiving stats.
Never mind, I see he caught one pass. They must have been doubling him.
Quote from: Trotsky on Today at 05:11:14 PMArguably the biggest win for the program in 89 years.
One could argue for 75 years.
Our other loss was to Colgate (19) who lost on the final play of the game to Harvard (17).
Do we have a sniff at also receiving votes? There are 128 FCS teams, 39 of which received at least 1 vote last week. Are we in the top 30%?

Personally, I could argue forever...
600 yards from scrimmage, never punted!

I think if we run the table we'll be getting more than courtesy votes. we may get a few this week just from beating Lehigh and (QB-deprived) Yale, especially given how well we played Colgate in the second half. We even scored 12 points more than Colgate did against Harvard. This is a fun season and IIRC, the Ivies put two teams in the FCS tournament last year.
We're 3-2 and all of our games except G'town were against ranked opponents. Not counting chickens but the clucks and peeps are ASMR.
