Nice start by Cornell. Not so good Q4 collapse by Cornell. Poor play call by Brown in final minute when up by 1,in FB range, and QB backpedals 10 yards rather than take a knee, end gives Cornell enough field position to move up the field quickly and set up a winning, wounded duck, off-the-left-upright FG for the win. If only there was a league where we played Marist, Colgate and Brown 3 times, then closed with Penn.

great finish. solid drive, clean passing, incredible kick for the win. Kenney looked pretty good, actually. Way better than Catanese.

wild that the guys in the booth didn't understand what Perry was doing on 4th down before the final Cornell drive. he was supposed to roll out, burn 6-8 seconds, then throw it away since the clock stops on the change of possession anyway. there's really only one way the play can go wrong - if the qb lets himself get sacked.  and, well...

[billhoward]

We hold Brown 3 and out, force the punt, drop the return and give Brown the ball on our 15. Well. That was suboptimal.

Was not the word I was thinking of. Weren't you considering "regression to the mean"?

not sure in what football world with 50+ secs to go you run a play hoping to burn a few extra secs and throw it away..

i think if something opens up, it opens up, but it's less risky than trying a field goal. watch the play. the plan went to hell when one guy got in on a jailbreak and the QB was pissed that he didn't get credit for throwing the ball away in time.

i think why screw around with a sack chance.. run the play to the end zone and take your chances.. also the chance we catch it and get tackled at the 5.

It was just a dumb call. Go for the field goal at worst run, or it up the middle of the line.

Did the football team ever use Bacon Cage (demolished to make room for a parking garage), or was that just for batting practice?

[upprdeck]

there used to be a lot of things going in in there it had a dirt floor so not sure how much fball did more than maybe just throw in it?

Here's a rare piece of good news regarding the football team.

Took golf lessons in Bacon Cage from Clayton Chapman, who later became commissioner of the ECAC.

My senior year, the hockey line formed outside Bacon Cage.  They let us in at about 5 PM...which was very good because it was pouring that night.  

It made for a hell of a party.  A lot of people had pizzas delivered.
