Football: Cornell at Columbia

Al DeFlorio · November 10, 2012, 02:49:59 PM

Season continues on a downhill path. Columbia leads 27-17 seconds into the fourth quarter, coming back from a 17-10 halftime deficit with an 86-yard touchdown run and then two more scores. Cornell with a whopping 138 yards total offense at the half. How disappointing a season has this been? Amrhein now in the game for Jeff Mathews.

Exactly. Sitting in the stands watching the debacle. Yale win seems like a decade ago.

Team has regressed. Hard to understand why the offense has stagnated. We've actually run the ball decently

Now down 34-17 to a team that lost to Harvard 69-0 last week.

Coach Austin needs a new defensive coordinator.

With 244 yards total offense and a scoreless second half against a team that gave up 69 points a week ago, I'd say he needs more than that. Program appears to be completely disorganized.

Good point, but Cornell's defense has to be the worst in the Ivy League. So much promise for this season gone.

defense wilted in second half, but this loss was due to the offense ineptitude, strange as it is to say.

I wonder if Mathews is still playing hurt from his neck injury. The offensive line protection was terrible.
