Cornell-Brown varsity football 10/26/24

Should have used up 3rd period clock.  Some strange play-calling.

The third period clock is not a meaningful thing, imo.

In any event, Brown QB evades a sack in the end zone, throws up a duck ... and a Brown WR outjumps the coverage for a 30 yard gain before the end of the quarter.

Not sure why the refs didn't call targeting there.

The zero blitz is giving the Brown QB lots of trouble.

imobecause the contact was more glancing than devastating.

ugh cornell allows a 4th down conversion, another deep sideline pass then a qb scramble to the pyl... no, stepped out at the 1. First and goal Brown, though.

EDIT: Run up the middle for an easy score, Brown goes for 2 ... and false starts. Now they are kicking... 21-17 Cornell. Potentially huge penalty.

It is when the wind is in your face and you want it in the opponent's.

Since the Big Red don't have a run game today, they can't really run down the clock. Their mindset will probably be to go down and score a touchdown through the air and put this game to bed.

Wind is being talked about a lot but doesn't seem to be affecting anything. If anything, everyone is throwing more than you'd expect on a windy day.

You're smarter than that.  You don't snap the ball with 25 seconds still on the play clock.

NESN carrying this so I can watch it on the idiot box.  LGR!

Maybe that explains the noon start. Boomer is at the game but no Olbermann.

Cornell penalty on the kickoff return, but a 16 yard pass to the 31 follows. Wang overthrew an open Woodring on a skinny post then underthrows Musungu. Our receivers are getting open and Wang has to do a better job here.

On third down another overthrow and a very generous DPI bails out Cornell. No! They pick up the flag, probably for an uncatchable ball.

[mike1960]

That was interference! He had a handful of jersey!

[mike1960]

Defense needs to win the game for us today right here.

[ugarte]

Damn another great punt. 68 yards but the bounce is just a bit too strong and it goes into the end zone.

[Scersk '97]

Unfathomable play calling up 4 in the early part of the 4th quarter. You run the ball and also direct your offense to slow down the snap count.

The clock is your friend. Why ignore your friend?

Doesn't matter if your run game is not great. You have to eat clock. Run delay quarterback runs or something.

[mike1960]

That crossing route is wide open almost every time Brown runs it.
