How bad could it be? Musungu back. Bass-Salpezio named starting QB. Into the breach.

It could be bad.  Colgate is playing their 4 game and Cornell will likely have 1st game miscues.  Colgate nearly beat a FBS school in Central Michigan.  Colgate has an outstanding running attack and a big DL on defense.  I hope it will be competitive and Cornell escapes with no major injuries.

I was joking. I expected a blowout and just as I turned the game on, Colgate made it 17-0 not quite midway through the 2d quarter.

28 days, 4 hours and 36 minutes until face off with Waterloo.

Would like to see an underclass QB given a chance.

Never seen a fake field goal attempt run straight ahead into the line.

certainly the earliest call for a qb controversy I've seen.

defense has improved over the course of the game, including on the blitz.

With two 20+ yard delayed draws,   GBS has us in the red zone.

TD Triplett on the option! Shutout over. 20-7 with 10:22 to go.

And that's the final. 20-0 at the half, 20-7 final. We got a number of sacks off of blitzes, caused a few turnovers and put together a real drive with GBS using his legs. We couldn't get anyone open, though, and that's not going to work for this offense.

Defense playing calling is better with the new DC.  I really think they need to run the ball more to open up the passing game more.
