Didn't see any hybrid warfare in that last Cornell series

Catanese is spraying the ball with open receivers but he really isn't getting much time either. Cornell falling apart in the 4th. Two long punt returns, a long TD pass and G'town has a 6 point lead and the ball in Cornell territory with under 5 to go.

Quote from: Ken7118-8 starting the 4th, Cornell has the momentum now.

Not any more. Fumbles, bad snaps, holding, late hit. Offense dull, predictable. Play calling dreadful. Need to clean house of coaching staff.

i don't know what the first three quarters looked like but the 4th quarter was butt

Defense played OK, offense wasn't very good.

Trotsky · October 05, 2019, 05:48:15 PM

Could we be staring down 1-9? Today was very much suboptimal.

Have a chance vs Brown

Should beat Brown and perhaps Colgate as they are really awful.

CAS · October 05, 2019, 05:54:45 PM

I'll take the under.

Trotsky · October 05, 2019, 05:56:57 PM

And of course upset Harvard.

Quote from: CASI'll take the under.

Colgate is 0-6 after a loss today against Lehigh (Update: now 0-7). Another fun fact David Archer as both an assistant and as a head coach at Cornell has never coached a team that finished greater than .500 winning percentage.

CAS · October 05, 2019, 06:04:42 PM

I'll still take the under.

Georgetown 14, Cornell 8: It should have been better, it could have been worse. Saturday:

* Cornell was the only Ivy not to get double-digit points
* Fordham and Howard were easily disposed of by Yale (48-24) and Harvard (62-17).
* 0-4 Rhode Island managed to beat Brown 31-28 although Brown QB EJ Perry put up 420 yards and 3 TDs. That's a lot of offense no matter who your opponent is. Are we sure Brown can be handled Oct. 26? At least we have the home field. We can get a comparison Saturday vs. Harvard. Crimson already handled Brown by 35.

Well, the weather (and attendance, 8745 announced) was fabulous Saturday. On weather, we're 3-0. Even if Fireworks Friday and Hangover Sunday were chilly then drizzly. Homecoming of the last decade has been pretty good ever since Cornell decided to put seed / investment (in alumni relations) money into an early-fall event that draws a LOT of alumni and unlike reunions is the best way to see friends from adjacent classes.
