Cornell football 2015...

[Ken711]

Cornell kicks a field goal on its opening drive (Zach Mays, 35 yards, his longest). From there, the two teams march up and down the field, no scoring, and Cornell leads 3-0 at the half. Luke Hagy carries 20 times for ... 49 yards.

Great mid-third quarter opportunity: Sean Scullen picks off a Columbia pass goes 41 yards to the Columbia 24. Hagy takes it to the 15 (shaken up and le,  then next play Cornell facemask penalty -15, Mays tries another 38 yard FG on 4th and 8 and this one is blocked. Lost chances. Cornell intercepts on the next Columbia possession. Third quarter ends 3-0 with Cornell in possession near midfield on a failed Columbia fake punt and Hagy still on the bench. The two teams are 4x22 on third down converstions.

What an offensive display.

Wow we are gong to end up 1-9 and avoid the embarrassment of ending up with a winless season.

Last Shutouts: 1993  Shut out both Harvard and Yale, scoring 27 and 21 points
Last 3-0 victory was over Harvard in 1986.
That's especially satisfying, isn't it?

Nice work Dave. Before the 1993 shutout of Harvard, the last one was also against Harvard 28-0 on 10/14/89.

Harvard was our bitch. Last century.

Cornell only had 193 yards of offense.  Next week looks like a blow-out loss with Penn having topped Harvard.

I feel badly not going to support the Red, but then seeing 3 of Cornell's 10 games isn't bad. A couple years back an underdog Cornell team led by Jeff Matthews devastated Penn's pass defenses. Probably not this year. If you go, parking in the Penn garage costs more than the ticket.

[billhoward]

Took Penn about 5 plays to score off the opening kickoff. Perhaps fearing Cornell's defense would stiffen later in the afternoon, Penn went for a 2-point conversion run and Cornell stopped that. 6-0 Penn 2 minutes in. And then Penn intercepts on the Cornell 32 on the ensuing Cornell possession. Long afternoon coming. ... Final is a respectable 34-21 loss.

Dartmouth (beat Princeton 17-10) and Penn tie for the title, Harvard leading Yale 21-7 in the third and could also finish 6-1 for a three-way tie.
