WASHINGTON, D.C. — Georgetown moved from Division-III to Division I-AA in 1993. On Saturday, it showed.
The Red controlled the line of scrimmage on offense and defense, running the ball to keep the offense in rhythm and pressuring Georgetown in the backfield to shut down the Hoyas’ shotgun option attack in the Red’s 45-7 victory.
Of the 3,184 people at Georgetown’s Multi-Sport Field, nearly half were red-clad fans cheering on Cornell.
“We wouldn’t have even filled our side if it wasn’t homecoming,” said one Georgetown graduate.
