Title: Cornell-Albany football
Post by: Rita on September 29, 2006, 06:56:32 PM
SUNY-Albany has free audio for tomorrow night's game at http://www.foxsports980.com/main.html.

However, if anyone gets a feed through "Some-Access/No-Access" please let us know. I do not want to bother with the 2-week free trial, at least not yet.

This may not be news to anybody except me, but apparently all Ivy games are now being carried in SIRIUS.

Harvard looks surprisingly good on offense given the suspension of their #1 QB.  (Cornell hasn't scored a touchdown yet with their #1 QB.)  Two late first-half TDs pull them back into the game.  

The half-time scoreboard as shown on FSPI:  

Harvard Bruins 21 ::screwy::

Lehigh Mountainhawks 24

Cornell up 7-0 early and an interception gives the Red the ball deep in SUNYA territory.  I had no idea we ran a nickle back *all the time*.  ::screwy::

Albany.  My system (346) doesn't have the RAM required (512) to load the All Access client.

10-7, second quarter

1 Cor Siwula ? run, Zell kick.
1 Cor Zell 28 FG.
2 Alb Bocanegra-Wall 22 pass, Fralicker kick.

Post by: Trotsky on September 30, 2006, 07:52:44 PM
I subscribed only to find it wouldn't run for me.  I gather it's not working for anybody else either, however.

17-7, mid 2nd quarter.

1 Cor Siwula ? run, Zell kick.
1 Cor Zell 28 FG.
2 Alb Bocanegra-Wall 22 pass, Fralicker kick.
2 Ford-Jackson 5 pass, Zell kick.

Cornell has run 26-130, featuring Siwula, and passed for another 75 yards.  The only black mark so far is a ton of penalties.

If they continue to play well I may just head up to Soldiers Field for next week's game.  Shame the Yale loss put us behind the eight-ball for the second year in a row.

So far, they're playing extremely well against an opponent ranked #23 among I-AA teams.  The SUNYA announcers are very complimentary, saying we're by far the best team they've played this year.  Especially strong kudos for Nathan Ford.
Title: Re: Cornell-Albany football
Post by: Trotsky on September 30, 2006, 08:17:57 PM
20-7 at the half, one of the finest first halves Cornell has played in several years.  A+ offense, A defense, A special teams.  They even went the last 7 or so minutes without a penalty.  Great job so far!

Post by: Al DeFlorio on September 30, 2006, 08:42:06 PM
I checked Albany's record on their web site.  Kind of strange.  they were beaten by Fordham, who were beaten by Columbia 37-7.  So I'm not sure how good they really are.  One of their supposedly big wins was over Central Connecticut, and that's a team Yale would never consider putting on their schedule.

I was listening to the CCSU football show on the hartford espn radio this week. They just beat northern (?) georgia, which I understand is a big deal. They were talking about how the NEC (top to bottom) is starting to challenge the patriot and ivy league in the I-AA pecking order. They kept talking about how good Albany was though. The coach even talked about trying to schedule UConn in the next 8 years or so because the NEC starting offering scholarships this year for the first time.

In other news, anyone watching on some-access? I'm told I don't have access to the content but perhaps they haven't renewed me (even though they sent me a new password)... I'm listening to the (quite good) UAlbany announcers.

A couple nice punts by Cornell tonight, with good coverage.  The O has bogged down a bit, with SUNYA starting to get good pressure on Ford.  Albany driving middle of the third, still 20-7.

Could be Georgia Southern, and they are historically a strong I-AA team.

The Albany announcers are VERY good.  Amazingly balanced and fair, especially after listening to some of the announcers for other ECAC hockey teams.  My 14-day trial subscription to All-Access expired yesterday and I never got to see anything.  Bucknell never worked and the Yale game was either never broadcast or never archived.

Momentum is clearly shifting, and time of possession is becoming even.  Cornell was obviously sky-high at the start of the game, and the effect may be wearing off.  Or Albany is making better adjustments than Cornell is.

It would be nice to hold for a field goal here.

Penalties are really killing us.  We've done well at beating ourselves so far this year.  Hope they can revive the offense in the fourth quarter, because hanging on is risky business.
Title: Re: Cornell-Albany football
Post by: Trotsky on September 30, 2006, 09:09:53 PM
20-14 end of third.  Another good punt, but the line needs to get pressure on Bocanegra now.
Title: Re: Cornell-Albany football
Post by: Trotsky on September 30, 2006, 09:12:27 PM
Wow, lucking out on that punt.  Only 14 net yards and Cornell gets the ball on the 34, rather than inside the 5.
Title: Re: Cornell-Albany football
Post by: Trotsky on September 30, 2006, 09:14:22 PM
And now a 17 yard double reverse by Kilcoyne.  It's great how much of our O is sophomores (Kilcoyne, Baker, Ford, Canty...).

Albany converts on a 4th down.  1:14 to go, Danes still need about 30 yds for FG range.

Nice to get a first win.  

Harvard's 3-0 and averaging 35 points per game.  We'll need a more consistent passing game next week to stay with them.  Crimson put up 28 points in a 15 minute stretch to go from 7-24 to 35-24 against Lehigh today.

Ball control and field position.  At least we had a good run/pass balance this week so Harvard will have to drill against both.

I say Harvard still wins something on the order of 24-13, but maybe with a break here and there...

Sounds about right to me.  We're planning to go as of now.  

Holding Harvard to 24 won't be easy.  They have a 6'5" freshman end who caught a pass and ran away from the Lehigh secondary like they were running in quicksand--and he's not their main-man receiver.

I hope we're able to throw downfield successfully or H will pull their secondary closer to the line of scrimmage making it even tougher on the run.  Stranger things have happened.  

Watching football in Harvard Stadium is "Best-Access," much superior to "Some-Access" or "No-Access," or whatever it really is these days.  Ancient stadium, but built for football with great sightlines.

I tried to watch the Yale game while it was being played but wasn't able to access it. Spoke to support, but they weren't able to  resolve it with me on the phone. They took my phone number and said that they'd get back to me. Never heard from them.  I should see if I can access the games in the archive. So far, not encouraging.
