Cornell-Albany 10/5/2024

[mike1960]

That's the kind of defensive stand that can define a squad.

[Al DeFlorio]

Guts on D.  Guile on O.  Amazing half.

[mike1960]

Let's go score a touchdown right here and take the bite out of the Grayhounds.

[Al DeFlorio]

So much for big mo.

[mike1960]

Nice play calling all drive. Great call on the screen pass.

Albany's huge OL is just pushing Cornell's DL back at will.  If you can't stop the running game you aren't going to win a game.

Still keeping it close. Down 16-10 after Q3.

Great Danes, not Greyhounds btw

[mike1960]

Nice pass rush. Was that a blitz off the corner?

[mike1960]

Nice job by the play caller. He has a really good feel for the defensive tendencies.

Great strip sack to force the punt. Cornell moves the ball a little, pulls out a deep pass to the TE on 3d and 1 down to the 1... but it's called back for a chop block and Cornell has to punt.

Drive killing penalties.

[Al DeFlorio]

Need a pick.

First down sack gives Albany 2d and very long but they chip away and convert on 4th and 2 then make the drive pay off with a rushing TD+2 to go up 14.

Cornell is running out of time but after a long catch and run by Musungu, Cornell is back in the red zone.

Alas, the drive dies on the 9 yard line as Wang and Lee weren't on the same page for the location of the ball. Albany takes over with under two minutes left and a 24-10 lead.

Game is almost certainly over but still a lot to like from a game against a tough opponent.

Yep. The program is definitely going in the right direction. We could have been in this game if we avoided a few crucial mistakes.
