Incredible comeback win after trying to give it away for three quarters. Love it.

That is why you have to keep the faith!

Good step forward. Columbia is also beatable. Maybe ... Princeton. LGR!

I'm shocked as it looked like no team wanted to win with so many chances throughout the game. Long bus ride home for Brown, go Big Red.

Cornell gave up 471 yards passing but only 1 YPC on the ground. Incredible job rallying to the ball but absolutely no coverage skills.

GBS threw for almost 400 himself and ran for another 70. Real breakout game for frosh WR Matulevic: 6-100.

This could have been a blowout W. Rough watch for most of the game but a good sign - as long as we can figure out the defensive backfield.

Last week it was the freshman and sophomore transfer running backs that contributed to the win.  This week the freshman WR. Cornell had a good recruiting class last year and has a good start with this year's class. This is the talent that Archer couldn't recruit in sufficient numbers.

I looked at the play-by-play and we gave up these passes with 15 or more air yards:

29
18+10
43
47
50
16+2
39+5
45

plus a 25 yard TD off a screen in OT ...

AND WON

That rarely happens giving up such large chunks on passing plays. They have a long way to go improving their defensive secondary play.
