Starting the thread-Does the Red have a shot at winning this one?

I don't think so. Bucknell has a huge OL line that will push the smaller Cornell DL around.  Unless Cornell doesn't give the deep pass and can control the clock with their offense by running the ball, I don't see a win here.

Stupid play call...and throw...costs a touchdown.  Cornell trying hard to commit every penalty in the book.  Amazingly, ahead 7-0.

Pick for six makes it 14-0.

So far so good, friends.

The camera work is amateurish

[Al DeFlorio]

Seven penalties in first 20 minutes.::bang::  Still...24-0.

Bucknell's starting QB is out.

From the tenor of these comments, I gather that Cornell is LOSING 24-0?

No we're winning. It's a tough crowd....

Yes.  This "tough crowd" is appalled by 11 penalties for 105 yards in half a game.

Edit:  make that 12 penalties, many undisciplined.

Dumb penalties by Cornell leads to good Bucknell field position and 27-14 game now.  Cornell letting Bucknell gain all the momentum now to start the 2nd half.

Yes.  This "tough crowd" is appalled by 11 penalties for 105 yards in half a game.

After yet more penalties, Bucknell scores with 14 seconds left to get within 27-14. We are giving Bucknell every opportunity to stay in this game, and besides the penalties our defense is getting exposed.

Cornell has made a lot of mistakes, but Colgate insists on making more.

Cornell has made a lot of mistakes, but Colgate insists on making more.

And they're not even playing.

Ha ha. Bucknell rather.

Bucknell's QB has had little game experience and it shows in execution and in the coaching staff's play-calling.
