Cornell - Colgate football

Apparently, it's horrible, though the CU video links are wrong and LiveStats keeps dying. Last I saw, 31-0 Raiders in the 2nd quarter.

On the iBN page, below the video, find the "upcoming" box and click the Colgate game. When I clicked the link on the REDCAST football home page I got Cornell-Yale, and that was how I got the Colgate-Cornell game up.

I need to remember not to enter into a friendly bet with my boss on the Cornell-Penn game.

Cornell has given up 4 TDs in the 2d quarter, all on the ground. The shortest one was 25 yards. (26, 66, 53, 25). I assume the fourth TD run would have been longer but the drive started on Cornell's 27.

Colgate gets 21 points within four minutes in the second quarter off big plays and breaks the game open for a 31-0 halftime lead. Time of possession was even (Colgate +10 seconds) and so was number of plays (Colgate+3) but total yardage was 320-61. Tough day for Cornell and it's only halfway over.

44-3 was the final score.

Should be an evenly matched game when Princeton plays at Cornell in two weeks.

Did Jeff Mathews finish the game in one piece?

Josh '99 · October 16, 2010, 07:55:51 PM

Colgate with 48 carries for 440 yards, including 25 for 291 for Nate Eachus.

Ouch.

I drove from Rochester to witness this game, so I felt compelled to see if there was a worse defeat in the modern era of Cornell football (defined as the 50 years since I matriculated in 1960.) Interestingly, we lost to Rutgers by an identical score in 1980. But it gets worse -- we lost to Colgate 7-60 in 1983. Not including this year, 11 Cornell coaches had a record of 218-251-9 over that span.

One small piece of good news is that Colgate is off the schedule as of 2012, to be replaced by Monmouth College, who opened this season by losing 27-7 to Wartburg.

Why is that good, Al? By 2012 this coach will have about three recruiting classes in, and playing Marshmallow College won't help us beat Penn or Harvard. If we can't be competitive with the friggin Patriot League by 2012 we got the wrong coach again.

RedDog · October 17, 2010, 07:40:32 AM

Actually, 2012 will only be Austin's second recruiting class....he has yet to recruit a player, having been hired in late January......

Can't afford any more injuries, but I see us competitive in the last five....with at least a couple wins...

Hard to agree given yesterday's results. You seriously believe we'll be competitive with Penn this year?

In fact, Tim, I agree. My posting was a poorly-written, tongue-in-cheek response to George64's expression of long-term frustration, the duration of which is only one year longer than mine. Surely there's a football version of Ned Harkness out there somewhere.
