Title: Cornell Varsity Football at Princeton October 31 2026

Starting the thread.  I have a lot of confidence in Cornell's offense.  I think they can move the ball on just about anyone.  The defensive line and run defense are pretty solid but the pass defense is the Red's achilles heel. Another shootout maybe?

If this was a home game, then I think Cornell wins.  As a road game (Cornell's historically poor road record), I think Princeton's offense will win out, with as you point Cornell's weak defensive secondary.  I only hope Garrett Bass-Sulpizio can play a mistake free game with no interceptions, and Cornell's running backs get involved early to have a chance.

The only way Cornell can win this game is by consistently running the football.   Again that's why we lost the Brown game, because we passed 42 times and defense was out of gas in the fourth quarter.   Cornell has good running backs and a strong offensive line.   Ground and pound opens up the passing game for GBS to do his thing at QB.  Always a tough game at Princeton.   Go Big Red!
