Cornell football 2022

[Trotsky]

Beautiful 2-minute drill drive to make it 17-7 at the half.  Holy shit, we looked competent.

[Trotsky]

Cornell stops the Bears inside our 10 on 4th down on opening drive of 2nd half.

[Al DeFlorio]

More dreadful playcalling first two possessions in 2nd half, and Wang keeps throwing to weLl-covered receivers.

[Al DeFlorio]

Can't execute a screen pass but keep calling it.

[Al DeFlorio]

Brown stopping cold in the 2nd half the running back starting 8 yards behind scrimmage...but we keep calling it.

[Trotsky]

LOL what a finish.

Not saying there isn't plenty to complain about when it comes to the football program, but it's notable that it's total crickets in here when Cornell actually manages to win a game.

I can't believe nobody has actually described the wild end of the 24-21 Cornell win.

I turned on the game very late due to family stuff and at the time there was around 2:30 left in the 4th, Cornell led by 3 and we had 2d and 10 from near midfield. On second down we ran for 8. On third, we ran an absolutely awful looking run play (slow to develop, the RB was way out of sync with the line) and lost a yard. On 4th we tried a hard count but ultimately took the delay of game and punted to the 22.

Brown kept getting first downs. Part real plays, part busted plays where the QB escaped, part an absolutely abysmal DPI on a long sideline pass but it led to Brown getting first down at the 12 yard line with just under a minute to play. It looked like the Brown RB had run for a 12-yard score and the lead, diving for the pylon, but on replay he clearly stepped out of bounds at the 1. Good enough for the first down but no TD.

First down Brown direct snapped to the RB but the safeties crashed the line and hit him at the 4. Then Brown false started. 2d and goal from the 9 and the Brown QB didn't notice the blind side rush and he got creamed, fumbled, and Cornell recovered with just under 30 seconds left and Brown out of time outs to seal the W.

i was thinking the same thing because i didn't realize there was a page 3 and you'd already said it before i typed out the summary of the end of the game. winning interferes with the anti-archer agenda.

The official who called the laughable PI penalty on our guy who had inside position and was looking at the ball should never be allowed to officiate another college football game. It would have been disgraceful if that play cost us.

Didn't see any of the game today but there were absolutely terrible PI calls last week too.

Really, who expected the 2022 Cornell football team to be 4-2 with a reasonable chance to finish 5-5 maybe 6-4? Already David Archer has matched his best season, four wins (twice).

Cornell finishes with two likely losses against the Ivy unbeatens ...
@ Princeton 1 pm
Penn
... then two winnable games
Dartmouth
@ Columbia

Why not play Jameson Wang sparingly against Princeton and Penn so he's healthy for the two games where Cornell has a chance?

Note that when the Ivy League powers took away the season-ending Cornell-PrincetonPenn game and made it Cornell-Columbia (thus, in even years, a NYC football game the week before Cornell hockey at MSG, making it tough to get alumni/classes to decide which if any event they put tegether an event) ... plus, Princeton ending with Penn, this year a chance for the two unbeatens to play for the title.

BTW, Cornell traditionally ended the season with Penn, for a long time on Thanksgiving and more recently on Saturdays.

I'm delighted Cornell is 4-2, but let's put this record in context.  The three non-Ivy wins are over teams which are a collective 4-19.  Brown's two wins this season are over Bryant & Central Connecticut State.

I believe it was the last year for Cornell QB Jeff Matthews, 2013, when Matthews threw for just under 500 yards in a 42-41 victory over Penn at Franklin Field. Good stuff. Next to last year for Penn now Columbia coach Al Bagnoli. The stadium holds 50,000, about 7,000 showed up.
