Cornell football 2017

[TimV]

Don't know why Archer chooses to accept a penalty that gives the offense (that has shredded him all day) an extra down that leads to the TD that beats him- then runs the ball with 17 seconds left and no TOs ensuring only one more chance to score. Jeez.

This staff cannot manage the clock or the game.  It's been demonstrated time and time again.  Cornell needs new leadership or it's doomed to remain in the bottom of the Ivy League standings again next year.

I know most are really negative and because I don't follow closely I'm wondering how much the injury bug hurt this year. Even the Penn announcers mentioned this today.

You think Archer had a brain injury  We'll have to check for the Tau protein.

If Jeff Archer's tenure is in question in the world of football, not just here, then it has to be clarified soon so recruiting doesn't suffer. A HS senior player choosing among Cornell, Lehigh, Penn would like to know who's going to be head coach. Not that players are the last word, but I'm curious how they feel about Archer as a coach. Good story for the Daily Sun to track.

I'm sure a good portion of the recruiting has already taken place, even if David (Jeff) Archer is removed. I feeling a AN will bring him back for a 6 year, not that Cornell is going to challenge for the Ivy title in 2018.

When Ben DeLuca was turned free, a good deal of the recruiting had been done, but players still chose to go elsewhere when it came for them to commit as students in the April-May period.

This. Both of these were unbelievably stupid decisions. Truly mind boggling at the D1 level.

Cornell always seems to make one head scratching call at a critical junction in a close game,  The staff either panics or is ill prepared....take your choice.

Stupid when it doesn't work out. Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State said (this was a long time ago), "Anybody can tell me the play we should have run on Monday morning. I've got 20 seconds and there's 100,000 people in the stadium screaming at the top of their lungs." Although Tom Brady seems to have adapted nicely.

I generally agree with the sentiment but giving the opponent 2nd and 20 rather than 3rd and 15 is stupid even if it does work out. Likewise running the ball with 20 seconds and no time outs. Even if he had made it in the end zone, I still would be genuinely shocked they called the play and questioned the thought process.

eh if he got in you literally never would have thought about it because you wouldn't have been forced to

+1.  Success doesn't make it smart.  It makes it lucky.

Love that Nick Null was Second Team as PK and Honorable Mention as P. Also, good luck to Gesualdi; I hope he gets to see an NFL training camp.

Cornell is playing at Delaware again in 2018.  What kind of dumb scheduling is that.  Chalk up another loss in that game.

Aren't the schedules made years in advance? I honestly don't know about Cornell, but the big time schools have already announced games 20 years in the future. Syracuse and Notre Dame will be playing in 2038 FYI.

I think he means "scheduling a road and road series".
