Big Red getting jobbed here, that was a clear fumble, could've been seven more points going the other way. The Refs didn't even look at it another time. This is pure bullshit.

That's clearly a fumble by Harvard on the 10! Refs called it an incomplete pass. I don't know why we can't review that. Harvard kicks a field goal. 20-10.

Edit: The announcers rightly point out that the ref blew the whistle and the play was over. But they also note that the ref should not have blown the whistle and should have let the play go on.

Another game, like at Yale, where a game that could have gone either way in the fourth, ends with a score that looks like a rout.

Without a QB who can throw downfield, we play handicapped.

This one got away. But there are some positives to take from it and to keep improving.

He has some fine throws and others not as much. He needs more consistency. He shouldn't be afraid to tuck it more and get up the field.

An effective QB has to be able to "drop it in the bucket" as ugarte described an opposing QB's clutch pass one of these past weeks...like Craig did tonight to keep the drive alive that ended in Harvard's third touchdown.  Else the defense plays receivers tight with no fear of giving up a long ball.

Even my fuckin BU friend is finding lowlights of this game. Man, we're cooked.

The Cornell defense played really well and kept the team in the game.   However, on offense it just seems like the unit is in a constant state of confusion.   For example, first play of the game we fumbled a simple pitch out for a TD.   Where last week we opened with two picks in a row against Colgate.   We rushed for a total of 66 yards and there has been no running game all season, other than our QB running for his life.   This team is on track for 0-10 if they don't turn it around.
