Cornell football 2022

I propose that until we get a coach who establishes a winning tradition, we don't hire any more alumni as HC. Recent history (at least the past 40 years) has been a progression to doormat status. We need a coach who knows how to pick a program up from the floor.

Couldn't agree more.

Cornell was simply outclassed on both sides of the ball.  Not blaming the Quarterback Wang for the effort-he barely had time to throw as the Cornell offensive line was unable to keep Yale defenders out of the backfield.  Not many positives to take out of this game.  On to Colgate in Hamilton.

On the plus side, I like the new sleeve stripes.  Think they're new.

In the WW I German army, they were called wound stripes. The team has been through a lot.

Cornell's third game, Saturday 10/1 at Colgate (fifth game), 1 p.m., on ESPN+. Cornell is 1-1, Colgate is 1-3. Among mutual opponents, Holy Cross beat Colgate last week, 35-10, and the week before, Holy Cross beat Yale 38-14, which Yale beat Cornell 38-14. Oddsmakers seem to have predictions on Ivy vs. Ivy, but not for this game that I saw.

Colgate in 2022:
(L) Stanford, 41-10
(W) 21, Maine 18
(L) 14, Penn 25
(L) 10, Holy Cross 35

Good luck, Cornell. And for those hoping Cornell will lose big-time so there's regime change in the coaching ranks, you can at least root for Cornell to beat the spread, if one shows up? I'd like to see Cornell do well. I played for enough 2-10 soccer teams in HS and it's small solace to say losing builds character.

Penn has looked good so far this season with their new Offensive Coordinator Dan Swanstrom.  Swanstrom was the former successful head coach at Ithaca College with a .744 winning percentage.  He would be an ideal candidate to replace Archer.

Colgate 7 Cornell 0.  First Cornell drive -9 yards.

[Ken711]

Wang getting some time pass, Cornell ties it up 7-7.

[Ken711]

Wang with a 62 yd TD pass, 14-7 Cornell.

[Ken711]

Cornell 21-13 at the half.

[scoop85]

Now 21-21 after fumble returned for a td. Our RBs have no instincts or speed, and you can see clearly we are not a well coached team

Just had the Colgate QB dead to rights on 3rd and 8 and we whiffed on 2 tackles. Abysmal fundamentals

[Al DeFlorio]

At some point, maybe, Cornell will figure out that handing the ball to a running back seven yards behind the line of scrimmage so he can run it to two yards behind the line of scrimmage is not a bright idea.

[TimV]

And the somewhat deeper concept that the people at each end of the line of scrimmage are eligible receivers, even if centering the ball. ::doh::
