Cornell football 2022

[Trotsky]

21-2 after a pick 6.  Great first half.

Cornell 28-2 late third. "What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports, is goin' on here?"

The universe is f-ing with us.  We're going to be stuck with Archer forever.

Did Wang get hurt, I see Luke Duby has playing QB for most of the 4th Qt?

Cornell gives up 3 TDs in the last 5 or 6 minutes with abysmal (backup?) pass defense and giving up a put block but with a missed XP, the final score is 28-22 Cornell.

[Trotsky]

When was the last time Cornell had more wins than Notre Dame?

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

28-22 final.  

The defense gave up 20 points in the 4th quarter, to make it "interesting."

wasn't watching until the game was all keydets so hope it was just the 28-2 lead

Much harder than it had to be, but excellent road win against a favored opponent that took it to us in Ithaca last year. Wang got banged up in the 3rd quarter, but came back and played. Perhaps he wasn't feeling great in the 4th quarter, with Duby getting most if not all the time. If it was a coach's decision to play Duby it was a poor one—-not that Duby's bad, but Wang to me is "the guy".

Cornell played a freshman at RB Gannon Carothers that looked better than Eddy Tillman the sophomore RB listed as the starter.

From Cornell 28-2 to 28-22 final over VMI is reassuring to those who can't believe Cornell fields a decent football team. If we gave up one more TD the game would've rested on the early safety Cornell took.

Otherwise, what an amazing game for Cornell. A team so underrated that the Red would not have rewarded betters unless VMI won 43-28 (ESPN line showed VMI -14.5).

The Ivies went 7-1 for the weekend. Here's how the league fared relative to the Ivy media poll:

1. Harvard needed OT to beat Merrimakc 28-21 (Friday)
2. Dartmouth 35, Valparaiso 13
2. Princeton 39, Stetson 14
Teams with no first-place votes:
4. Cornell's Homecoming opponent Yale got clobbered by Holy
Cross, 38-14.
5. Columbia 28, Marist 0.
6. Penn 25, Colgate 14.
7. Brown 44, Bryant 38.
8. Cornell 28, VMI 2.

Amazing win over VMI. (OK, and a naibiter at the end.) Not much excitement here on this thread, as if Cornell winning a game makes it harder to dismiss the coach. Meanwhile:

Ivy League went 7-1 on opening weekend. Players of the week were two Harvards and two Princetons. (Harvard, recall, needed OT to beat Merrimack.)  Cornell did four HMs:

Freshman RB Gannon Carothers
TE William Enneking
LB Jake Stebbins
LB Holt Fletcher

Homecoming game, Yale at Cornell, 2 pm. Surprisingly, going into the second game of the season, it's Cornell with the 1-0 record, 28-22 over VMI while Yale lost to Holy Cross 38-14. Yale picked to finish fourth in the pre-season media poll, Cornell picked to finish eighth. ESPN has Cornell a 2.5-point underdog vs. the Bulldogs. Spread would have been a lot more if Cornell had not beaten VMI.

Rest of the league, Harvard at Brown, Lafayette at Penn, Columbia at Georgetown, Lehigh at Princeton, Dartmouth at Sacred Heart. All Saturday games.

I saw a troupe of buses as I was driving through town earlier and caught a glimpse of some Yale gear being worn by the folks inside so the opponents have definitely been around for much of the day

[Al DeFlorio]

Same old, same old vs. Yale.  Think I'll go to a talk on the Atlantic Ocean.
