[OT] Colgate @ Cornell, Homecoming

6-3 Cornell in the third quarter against last season's I-AA runner-up. Great defensive effort so far. Andre Hardaway a 20 yd run for our score.

6-3, early in the 4th quarter. The Big Red are giving every indication of a team hanging on by their fingernails. Nothing happening on offense; defense so far has hung tough, but 'Gate seems to be winning most of the line battles now.

Sounds like the fourth quarter against Harvard. Can't move the ball at all. Too many penalties, too. Surprised the D is playing so well without Sussman.

The goddamn paid-for Cornell football netcast has cut out and is channeling the Princeton-Brown game for the second protracted time, and Gametracker reports Colgate score to lead 10-6 midway through the final quarter.

45-yard completion to the Cornell 5. Then a Branch run for TD.

Another 15-yard penalty pushes us back to the 18. Now 2nd-and-25 with a minute and change to go. Another close loss coming up, it appears.

Game ends, 10-6. Tough Homecoming loss, but the defense at least sounded outstanding.

The NC slate ends 0-3. Now on to 5 straight Ivy opponents: http://www.tbrw.info/tbfw/cornellFootball/cornellFootballIndex.html
