Cornell football 2022

Complete to the 25, OOB 14 seconds left... Complete to the 10, spiked football. 4 seconds left... Cornell timeout.

Fade to the corner... too deep Dartmouth makes the catch but out of bounds.

CORNELL VICTORIOUS!

And if you read Trotsky's first post on the page you already knew.

Fortunately Dartmouth had a pretty inept offense.

Ivy Leaguers prefer to say the league is competitive top to bottom.

Ivy Standings After 9 Games [Before THE GAME]
Yale       5-1
Princeton  5-1
Harvard    4-2
Penn       4-2
[b]Cornell    2-4[/b]
Columbia   2-4
Brown      1-5
Dartmouth  1-5

If: Harvard beats Yale (which has a W3 streak), Penn beats Princeton, HYP plus P all tie for first. Cornell beats Columbia, then Cornell will have to wordsmith a way to imply Cornell is second in the league.

Second best record in the league.  Best record?  5-2.  Second best?  3-4

finishing immediately behind the league winners

Running Back Carruthers threw a devastating block to spring him.  The end zone view of the run looked to me like the guy he smashed took out a second Dartmouth pursuer.  Carruthers had a great game, even with the fumble.

Not sure if this means they'll be wearing alternate helmets this week?

Kind of exciting, Cornell football with the first chance to have a winning record in almost two decades. At Columbia, Saturday 1pm. Parade afterward (Sy Katz '31 Parade), lots of fun.

Both teams are 2-4 in Ivy play, 5-4 overall. Winner finishes fifth. Cornell does that, they may be almost as happy as Princeton finishing 9-1.

Princeton, Yale, Penn, Harvard could all finish 5-2 in Penn beats Princeton, Harvard beats Yale.


Last time:

6-4 record -- 2005, Jim Knowles (second season)

5-5 record -- 2011, Kent Austin

4-6 record -- 2019, 2016, David Archer

who else is going to be there tomorrow (cold but apparently sunny)

Columbia TD on 1st drive, with a 53 pass completion a big part of it.  Cornell's defense looks asleep this game.

Suppose, however, that Cornell goes 2 and 5 in Ivy League play?

Could happen. That means finishing the Ivy schedule 2-3. Beating Princeton will be difficult. Ditto Dartmouth. Columbia and Brown seem most likely to help Cornnell to pick up the wins. Brown's Ivy loss was to Harvard, also 35-28. Penn, Columbia and Brown I believe have played 3 of the 4 first games against non-Ivies. Penn at 4-0 is impressive; the Ivy win was in OT vs. Dartmouth.

Yes, it could happen, but at 5 and 5 with yet another losing season in the Ivies, do you think  Archer would stay or go?
.

Well, we're about to find out.  Of course, we again defied the preseason media poll and finished tied for sixth place, not last.

More importantly I think the athletic department has to figure out whether Bill Howard jinxed them or perhaps they should blame ugarte.

Fire Archer!  10 years is a largest sample size to see a change is required, his 17-45 Ivy League conference record says it all.
