Options to listen or watch Cornell vs. Albany football game?

3d and 4, Cornell brings the house and forces a three and out. Cornell has 2:39 and one time out left. Fair catch at the 30.

Let's go Red.

Great scramble by Page to the 50 for the first down. 1:54 left. (Clock stopped for the 2 minute warning.)

[ugarte]

Ugh. Page doesn't get enough air under the ball and an underneath defender reaches up and picks the ball off. He had a receiver open on a sideline route but the ball never made it there. Wrap it up.

Better showing than last year, certainly, at least on the defensive side of the ball.

Thank you very much for these updates, ugarte!

Every year I buy season football tickets and donate to the program.  Then I sign up for ESPN +.   It just drives me nuts I can't even stream or listen to the game on Saturday night.   Meanwhile Homecoming is just over two weeks away and I have not received any e-mails or snail mail from the athletic department.   Like I said, Cornell does not make it easy to be a Big Red fan.

Homecoming is when???

10/4

How am I, a current Cornell student who gets emails from the athletics department, unaware of this???

Also, team sucks? Skimmed the updates - kudos ugarte.

Have always respected Jared Backus's coaching acumen per defense.  He always get the best of talent available.  Thought pass coverage was  as good as I've seen in a while.

I was at the game and concur that the pass coverage was quite tight overall, although an Albany receive did drop a perfectly thrown bomb that looked like a sure TD in the 4th quarter. CB Michael O'Keefe, who had an INT, was especially good.

Offensively we really missed Wang's dynamic ability. Page could run a bit, but his passing was meh, while Bass-Sulpizio clearly is the better passer but not much of a runner. Put them together and we'd have another guy like Wang. At running back it seems clear to me that Tucker is the more effective guy, but the coaches seem to like Pope; he's just so small and can't break a tackle. The pass blocking was pretty good, as I don't recall our QB's getting sacked once. Not much from the WR's without Musunga, but Kurtz is a terrific tight end and will likely be the go-to guy this season.

The team played hard, but too often shot themselves in the foot with penalties and other mistakes. Not sure how many wins we'll see, but I liked the fight they showed.

Yale has a much better offense than Albany and Cornell will be hard pressed to keep the game within reach.  Cornell's offense has to score more than a couple TDs if they want any chance.  I hope we see some of the freshman RBs get some playing time this season.  With Pope's size he is more of a gadget 3rd down back, but not the type of RB that can run between the tackles and keep Cornell's defense off the field.

Right.  I am hoping to see a 6'2", 210 pound tackle-busting, pile-moving freshman running back unveiled one of these weeks, along with a 6'4" 205 pound freshman quarterback with a slingshot arm.  Else we're in for a long season.

First game and kind of what I expected against Albany.   While our defense played very well, it was pretty much a lackluster offensive effort, with the exception of the TD catch by Kurtz near the end of the game.  

While I like Swanstrom, he pretty much ignores the running game and that was the reason why Albany won and we didn't.  The Albany running back rushed for 126 yards.   In comparison, Cornell's running backs combined for a total of 47 yards on the ground. The other yards came from QB scrambles.    Year after year it's "Rinse and Repeat", whether it's Swanstrom, Archer, Austin, etc.   Cornell will never be competitive in the Ivy League without a strong running game. Ithaca is not Florida where you can spread out your receivers and pass for 300 yards every game.   When I was at the Columbia game last November their running back rushed for  166 yards and our running backs ran for a "combined" 75 yards.   Even though Wang scrambled for 100 yards, we still lost the game.   It ain't rocket science but modern coaches want to pretend they are Clemson or LSU.   Go Big Red!

Clemson likes to pretend they're Clemson this year.

Same feeling here. I'm hoping we see some of the young RBs they brought as the season progresses to start and develop a more balanced offense,

Starting QB's are like starting goalies. If you have two, you usually don't actually have one.
