Cornell Football 2019

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Seesaw battle against unbeaten #12 Dartmouth. Cornell leads 18-17 with 5 minutes to play. At least that's what the Dartmouth stats ticker says. I'm in LA, figure there must be a problem with corruption on the telegraph wires. Make that 20-17 Cornell; we scored on the 2-point conversion that failed against Penn last week.

Except for Chinatown, the corruption's not in LA. It's in Ukraine. Haven't you been following the news?

Forget it, Jake.

It's Collegetown...

Not anymore.  :-/

But I guess that's the point.

Nice win. Team has been surprisingly competitive as massive underdogs all season. Believe the line yesterday was -30.5

Guess that's something

Anyone paying attention would have seen Dartmouth had been sputtering.  230 yards total offense against Harvard until the flukey, game-winning hail mary.  293 yards against Princeton in The Bronx.  Hardly a juggernaut.  Great win, but that spread was nuts.

Not a bad ceramic Dalmatian for a 3-6 team...

Wow:

Cornell, which is finishing its seventh straight losing season and hasn't finished above .500 in the league or overall since 2005, beat a ranked opponent on the road for the first time since 1950.

Cornell-Columbia-

One of the best efforts on both sides of the ball that I have seen from a Cornell football team in years.  Cornell's offense was not cited for any penalties and the defense was very solid.  Archer has gradually upgraded the level of talent so that athletically they were competitive. IMO Cornell was undone on several occasions due to mental mistakes this season-untimely interceptions being a main cause.  I hope that Richie Kenney turned the corner with the Columbia game and will have a better overall season next year. Am in favor of keeping Archer-nuff said.

There was no voting revealed beyond first team for coach of the year, so we don't know how Cornell's candidate for COTY fared. He sure deserved coach of the week Nov. 16.

Jake Stebbins, freshman LB

Only freshman on the 1st or 2nd teams except the Princeton punter.  Something to build on?

Interesting that Harvard RB Adam Borguet was rookie of the year but did not make first, second or HM. And the was room: six slots awarded on the first and second teams for running backs.

I absolutely would not!
