Cornell football 2022

[ugarte]

Nice broken tackle by Carruthers on a screen to get a first down followed by a short gain, then two penalties to make it 2nd and 22. Get out of your own way! Then Wang barely looks for an open receiver and pulls it down for a 3 yard run and then another pass underneath but at least this punt won't come from under the goalpost and might even cross midfield... yes. wow. Down to the 29. Still 7-6 but someone has to get open more than 3 yards from the line of scrimmage.

Hearing St. Lawrence's grating hockey announcers last night, then hearing our guy Barry Leonard (actually, IC'80's) guy call Cornell football. His voice is like listening to smooth jazz when smooth jazz was cool even if Father Time has run out on that genre.

NYT story on Barry Leonard during Cornell's Sweet Sixteen run (should be a free link):

I'd love to get Barry to learn about wrestling and take over calling the home duals. The wrestling guy is brutal.

Cornell gives up a TD drive to fall behind 13-7 then returns the kickoff for a TD to take the lead back. Great return. Blocking was clean and frosh WR Kiser* streaked up the sideline for the score.

* ESPN says Lewis III because both have uniform #0

Yale up 24-20 with under 2 minutes left and just intercepted Princeton. Harvard rolling Penn. Columbia holding on 24-21 over Brown with ~5 minutes left.

[ugarte]

Cornell forces a 3 and out. Gets a first down on their drive and has the ball at around midfield as Q3 ends with the good guys up 14-13.

[ugarte]

Good Cornell drive stalls out in the red zone on a conservative 3rd and 3 call that went nowhere but gets a FG out of the drive. 17-13 with around 10 minutes left. Cornell then gets a 3 and out and NEARLY a pick on 3d down in Dartmouth territory.

Princeton goes down to Yale and both will go to the final weekend controlling their destiny for a share of the Ivy title. Columbia doesn't go for a FG up 24-21 from the 17 then gives up a 2-minute drill FG at the whistle to head to OT. Harvard up 20 at the end of Q3.

[ugarte]

Immediate fumble by Cornell on the first play after the punt and Dartmouth has the ball at around midfield with 8:56 minutes to go.

[ugarte]

Dartmouth QB takes off on 3d and 10, gets the first down but gets stripped on the tackle and Cornell takes it back! Awesome.

[ugarte]

Cornell gets two first downs but runs an inexplicable sweep on second and long that went out of bounds after a short gain and then a run up the gut on third down that seemed designed only to force Dartmouth to call a time out. Probably going to punt after the break and hope to down it inside the 10... nope going for it ... YES! First down Big Red! 3 minutes left.

[ugarte]

Columbia gets the OT TD and beats Brown 31-24. Harvard still beating Penn badly with time running out.

If Harvard and Penn win next week, 4-way Ivy title tie.

[ugarte]

Cornell forces Dartmouth to call their last time out... Cornell going for a 45 yard FG... but wide right. Dartmouth takes over from the 35 with 1:29 left.

[ugarte]

5 yard gain and Cornell does a great job to stop progress in bounds to keep the clock rolling... 2d down pass knocked down at the line, 1:02 left... 3d down pass knocked down again... for the game... 4th and 5... first down to the 46... 52 seconds left...

[ugarte]

9 yard gain tackled in bounds... pass complete to the 35 out of bounds with 35 seconds left...

[ugarte]

1st down incomplete 20 seconds left...
