Cornell Varsity Football at Yale 9/27/2025

[ugarte]

Dangerous pass into the end zone but Dorrance Smith makes a great grab for the score. 14-14.

[Al DeFlorio]

Sorry to say, but this is awful football.  Penalty every other play.

No need to be sorry. You're right! Really sloppy from both sides. Thanks for the answer on RV.

I'm OK with sloppy play if the result is a W.

[ugarte]

Page has a wide open receiver on the bootleg but doesn't put enough air under it (a problem last week on the final drive) and gets the pass batted down. Poorly designed RPO doesn't get the first but at least we let the punter punt and he drives one to the 11. Fair catch.

This defense will keep the Big Red in a lot of games.

Cornell defensive stand, Yale has to punt. Between the return and an illegal formation penalty, Cornell starts inside the Yale 40.

[ugarte]

Better RPO design and Tucker up the middle for ~6. Two minute warning.

[mike1960]

The line is getting a nice push in the red zone.

[ugarte]

OL starting to open holes up the middle for Tucker and Pope. Cornell now 2d and Goal from the 3. Under a minute left in the half.

[Trotsky]

Running well between the hashmarks.

[mike1960]

Wishbone formation!

[Trotsky]

I'd go but it's not my job to lose.

Tough decision... incomplete on second down. RPO keeper by Page down to the one. 4 seconds left. Sneak or kick...

I'd kick and go up in the half. Put a little doubt in the minds of the Bulldogs.
