oooof. Colgate goes for it on 4th and 1 from just across midfield on a QB run, makes it past the DL and is gone. Tied at 17, just when i thought I'd get to answer Al "finally, us."

Still not us.  24-17 them.

Even though Cornell was able to pin Colgate inside their own 10, punting on 4th-and-1 there was a mistake. You can't give up possession to an offense you haven't shown any ability to stop in a game you're losing. The story of the half is Cornell's porous defense, but that was a poor in-game decision by the coach.

Superb 2 minute drill from their 5 makes it 27-17.

let them drive inside the 10 but, despite losing a safety to a targeting call, Cornell held the Raiders to a FG. 27-17 at the half.

Need a ground game.  Defense opts for coverage over pass rush. Getting neither.

They have some good looking running backs coming in this year's recruiting class assuming they stay committed.

Insult to injury as the score graphic calls us the Big Reds. 34-17 'Gate

And won, 31-20. Very impressive showing for them and their young QB.

Big Red need to fix the penalties on offense. Playing behind the sticks the entire second half. Not to mention the woes on defense. A lot of work to be done, but it will take time. Brown (and perhaps Columbia) maybe turning the corner.

I can't see this team winning more than a game or two this season, but I didn't expect more given the lack of quality players that Archer's staff left the new staff with. Swanstrom has a lot work ahead, but he's at least building a foundation of future success with his strength and conditioning program, and recruiting is off to a better start than previous seasons, and that should pay dividends in future seasons.

Yale breaks a tie with a TD with 12 seconds left in the game then knocks down a Hail Mary at the buzzer to beat Holy Cross on the road, 38-31.
