Cornell Football 2021

Big win. Good D on the last two drives to preserve the W.

Yea ... call me old fashioned but I didn't love that. You're 2-6, don't act like a clown

i think it may have been the "game ball"

Last week, host Dartmouth thumped then-#16 Princeton 31-7, and moved to #22 in the FCS rankings. In comparison, Cornell lost to Princeton 34-16. We play at Dartmouth Saturday, 1:30 pm. Cornell upset nationally 11th-Dartmouth two years ago, 20-17. Question is, can Cornell pull off a miracle in consecutive road trips against a ranked team, or is reversion to the mean more likely?

It would be nice if Cornell can win one of its final two, versus Dartmouth or Cornell, to give coach David Archer a 3-7 record. Win both and it ties Cornell's best record of the past decade (including Kent Austin's final, 4-6, 2021 season. That would be the glass-half-full view.

I'll take Dartmouth in a rout, but I like the new QB. If we can't have a successful passing game, might as well try to be more of a running team - and he's a threat.

Wang had a number of D-1 offers and originally committed to Air Force. He attended their prep school and must've decided service academy life was not for him. Great pick-up for us.

That's a dismal win/lost record for a head coach and "best case" is they finish with yet another 3-7 record.  Archer needs to be moved "upstairs" to an Administrative position, resign or be fired at the end of the season,

"Upstairs to an administrative position" sounds like the academic equivalent of a golden parachute. Why does he deserve this? He may be a great guy, but he's a bad coach and the results support this. Just fire him. He'll be fine. What am I missing?

[Ken711]

Horrible punting by Cornell gives Dartmouth good field position.  1st punt goes 27 yards, and the 2nd punt 16 yards!!!!  High school punting is better than this...:-D

I was being nice, but yes Andy has to fire him unless he resigns which I doubt he would.

Horrible punting by Cornell gives Dartmouth good field position.  1st punt goes 27 yards, and the 2nd punt 16 yards!!!!  High school punting is better than this...:-D

And a Swiss cheese defense that can stop neither pass nor run.  Add a playbook that would have a high school ashamed.

[Al DeFlorio]

0 first downs and 6 yards total offense.  Dartmouth has more than twice as many points as Cornell has yards gained.

[Al DeFlorio]

The ubiquitous false start on 4th and one.  Complete clown show so far.

[Ken711]

Year 9 of the David Archer era looks worse than Year 1.  Fire ARCHER!!!!!

[Al DeFlorio]

Women's hockey on at 3.  Grab the remote.

[Al DeFlorio]

Unnecessary roughness with the play well beyond the infraction.  No discipline. No offense.  No defense.  Awful special teams.  Anyone see anything good?

Then men's soccer at 4
