Cornell football 2022

"Defense caught napping."  Who woulda thought?

If there is a worse college football punter than Cornell's, please tell me.

[Al DeFlorio]

Defense can't stop the run.  Offense can't run.  Other than that...

The overall punting game is abysmal. Impossible to believe it can be that bad at this level.

[mikers]

This is abysmal- the O line is just letting them through, and the D line is getting pushed back at least 5 yards. Penalties galore!! Who in their right mind would come to Cornell to play QB? This poor kid is going to be an invalid before he graduates. This entire staff needs to go!

[mikers]

WTF??? Are you kidding me?? That's the call?? OMG, an embarrassment. Terrible...

[mikers]

What is this punter doing? He runs to the side and waits before he punts, who is coaching him??

[mikers]

Just quit now! This football program has just sunk to unthinkable depths the past 8-10 years. We had such formidable teams with games that we were usually real competitive, even in a losing effort. I don't see that now.  It seems as if the kids are not motivated and don't care. They are really overmatched, the recruiting is terrble;other than a few skill positions. Something needs to change!

First quarter and also third quarter (so-far), Cornell and Penn had 7 points each, plus Penn had 2 unanswered TDs in the second quarter. Down 28-14 with 2 minutes to play in third (and despite having a Cornell D interception nullified by an offsides), 28-14 may be too much to make up, but it's not an embarrassment.

[mikers]

The overall product, as I see it is not good! Outclassed by every Ivy team so far, even the Brown win was lucky!

[Al DeFlorio]

A truly stupid playbook.  Exacerbated by truly stupid playcalling.

[mikers]

Agreed! This is on the administration and the coaching staff. The admin has let this program slide, including the lack of facilities, hiring underwhelming coaches for short money and not allowing the football alumni to really put their stamp on the program. Basically, a disservice to the kids and their families!

[mikers]

Why are they calling these TO's now? None left!! Ineptitude at it's best!

First quarter and also third quarter (so-far), Cornell and Penn had 7 points each, plus Penn had 2 unanswered TDs in the second quarter. Down 28-14 with 2 minutes to play in third (and despite having a Cornell D interception nullified by an offsides), 28-14 may be too much to make up, but it's not an embarrassment.

Would that this would be the lowest level of performance that the administration would tolerate.

[billhoward]

A loss but a quality loss to once-beaten Penn. 28-21, Cornell's final TD coming with :04 to play.

Okay, we've lost to the zero-loss Princeton and one-loss Penn the last two weeks. Dartmouth and Columbia are attainable. We can finish anywhere from 6-4 to 4-6. Even 4-6 we've attained only once 2017-2022.

Maybe Cornell in the off-season can bring in some receivers and pass blockers to keep Jameson Wang out of the transfer portal. He's fun to watch.


Rest of the Ivies:
Princeton at home just got by Dartmouth, 17-14
Yale hammered Brown, 69-17. Unless that's a basketball score.
Columbia up on Harvard 21-20 with 10 minutes to play final.

Ivy standings with 2 games to play
Princeton   5-0
Penn        4-1
Yale        4-1
Harvard     3-2
Cornell     1-4
Dartmouth   1-4
Columbia    1-4
Brown       1-4

The top four play each other in the final two weeks. Ditto the bottom four. When the Ivy League rejiggered the schedule with an eye, they said, toward fewer long-travel final games (5 miles less for Cornell-Columbia vs. Cornell-Penn). But it does have the top four playing each other in the last four weeks, which is probably what the Ivy PTBs hoped for.
