Cornell 62 - Columbia 41 (F) Yes, really

[ugarte]

Wild first half so far. Cornell is up 28-27 with a minute remaining but squibbed the kickoff so Columbia has a short field but only a minute before halftime.

Matthews completed his first 13 passes before a receiver dropped one. A receiver dropped another pass in the end zone. Cornell has a missed FG and Columbia has a missed XP.

[ugarte]

Squib backfires. Columbia takes advantage of the short field and scores with 12 seconds left in the half. 34-28 Lions. Halftime.

Cornell back in the lead 38-34, Matthews hits Savage for a 47yd TD bomb after a earlier Greenway 45 yd field goal

[phillysportsfan]

Savage with another TD, 45-34 Cornell, at this rate they might score more than the basketball team did last night

Matthews with over 457 passing yd's, breaking the all time Cornell single game QB passing yd's record

Greenway 32yd field goal 48-34 Cornell

And with the pick 6, Cornell wins 62-41 and outscores the basketball team from last night

[Ken711]

Jeff Mathews 40-46 for 517 yds 5 TDs.  Really unbelievable numbers even though it was against winless Columbia.  If Kent Austin can recruit some big run blocking offensive linemen and running backs to develop a running game along with a better D, Cornell has a good chance at an Ivy Championship.

[Trotsky]

Not often can you say the defense played great but gave up 41 points, but in the second half they did.

Mathews: 40x46 521 yds, 5 TD, QB Rating of 217.

62-41 is even more nuts when you remember the score was only 7-7 at end of first quarter.

Jeff Mathews 40-46 for 517 yds 5 TDs.  Really unbelievable numbers even though it was against winless Columbia.  If Kent Austin can recruit some big run blocking offensive linemen and running backs to develop a running game along with a better D, Cornell has a good chance at an Ivy Championship.

Matthews basically rewrote the single-game recordbook on Saturday; 40 completions, 517 passing yards (note that this is officially listed in the box score as 521) and 5 TD passes are all school records, as was his completion percentage for the day (.870).  Additionally, after Saturday's game, Matthews has 2,864 passing yards this season, surpassing Ricky Rahne (2,762 in 1999) for the most by a Cornell sophomore.

Shane Savage tied the Cornell single-game record with 3 TD receptions, and his 199 receiving yards were second-most in school history.  

Brad Greenway set a Cornell single-game record by kicking 8 extra points, and tied a record with 14 points by a kicker.  He also passed Derrick Harmon for 3rd place on the all-time scoring list, behind only Ed Marinaro and Chad Levitt.

And, if you were curious, Kurt Williams tied a Columbia school record with 3 TD receptions.

Mathews and Savage can break records for passing and receiving yards and touchdowns next week. Fingers crossed.

Also, I'd like to request that "Mathews" be added to the spelling guide (it is Mathews), otherwise I will continue to add an extra "t".

[Ken711]

No surprise Jeff Mathews was named the Ivy offensive player of the week (should have been also for the Princeton snowbowl game).

Looks like the Columbia University Band won't be playing this weekend at the Brown-Columbia game.

Looks like the Columbia University Band won't be playing this weekend at the Brown-Columbia game.

They should turn up on Saturday with paper bags over their heads.

Looks like the Columbia University Band won't be playing this weekend at the Brown-Columbia game.

They should turn up on Saturday with paper bags over their heads.

We probably don't want to make this joke.  It wasn't that long ago...

Competing in Ivy League football is like arguing on the internet...
