They said it
October 30, 2009 - 2:00amOther Ivy League daily papers seem generally unimpressed with Cornell football this season, and they have good reason. The team is 2-4 and hasn't won since Sept. 26, a 14-12 defensive shootout at Yale.
The Harvard Crimson's Loren Amor picked Cornell over Princeton in the paper's weekly Around the Ivies roundup , but wrote that
"Cornell is a mess. Its best quarterback, Stephen Liuzza, is listed at wide receiver but spends most of his time at running back, which I think says it all."
The Daily Pennsylanian's Ivy preview calls out coach Knowles on his uninspiring quotes in the video posted on Cornell's Athletics website:
When your coach calls Princeton “a dangerous team” and then says “hopefully they feel the same way about us,” you probably aren’t feeling so hot about yourself.
Or you’re the Cornell football team.
Both of those, as well as The Daily Princetonian's game preview, as well as the Ithaca Journal's note that it should be a close game. Twelve of the last 14 Cornell-Princeton matchups have been decided by a touchdown or less.
