Brown 21 Cornell 14

[Trotsky]

Brown giving Cornell trouble in Providence.

[Al DeFlorio]

D still porous, running game still absent, and pass protection still poor.

Play calling not so hot, either.  And movement on a 4th and 1.

Other than that, Mrs Lincoln...

We are lucky to be down only 7 pts at half....

You bet.  281 yards to 151 yards total offense.

[Al DeFlorio]

Terrible play calling with first down on the Brown three.  But a controversial Brown penalty gives a second chance.  7-7

[Al DeFlorio]

Brown goes easily down the field to regain the lead, 14-7.  No pass rush, huge holes opened by the Brown line.

[billhoward]

Brown up by 7 in the third. Perhaps it was wishful thinking that we had a chance to be the class of the Ivies in 2012, excepting Harvard.

[Al DeFlorio]

False start on a 4th and one on the Brown 20.  Terrible mistake.  Long field goal misses badly.

[billhoward]

Cornell intercepts in Brown territory. Much excitement on the Cornell audio feed, almost as much as "do you believe in miracles?"

[Al DeFlorio]

Another false start on the Brown 9.  And a quick sack puts it on the 24.  And Brown intercepts a wounded duck.

Saves Cornell fans possibly seeing another FGA wobble into the end zone. Brad Greenway, we miss you. Al, you are at home, not in Providence where it seems a great day for football?

How many frustrating afternoons of Cornell football does one have to endure before saying "screw it?"  For all the Austin hype, this is not a well-coached team.  False starts on critical plays.  Porous offensive and defensive lines after three years in Ithaca.  Terrible tackling.  Suckered by every misdirection play or roll-out.  Really depressing to watch this.

Brown's fourth-string running back (the first three are hurt) is running through us as if we aren't on the field.

[Al DeFlorio]

Worst onsides kick ever.  Line drive out of bounds.  Amazing this game isn't 35-14 or worse.  Two timeouts burned within three plays mid third quarter when the offense didn't know what to do.  So no way to stop the clock with two minutes left.

[billhoward]

For older alumni, Brown and Columbia for years meant you were almost guaranteed two Ivy wins a year.

Austin needs to recruit bigger defensive linemen.  You can't have your defensive backs making more tackles than the Dline and expect to win games.
