Red offense can’t build on early score as run game, red zone offense struggles

By |

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Everything seemed back to normal. Cornell was on the road at Brown Stadium and senior signal caller Nathan Ford had just connected with senior wide receiver Jesse Baker to stake the Red to an early 7-0 advantage over the Bears with five minutes remaining in the first quarter. Baker’s 16-yard cross route accounted for his team-leading fifth touchdown — hauling in all five on the road. For Ford, it was his sixth touchdown away from Schoellkopf Field and seventh of the season. The Red offense seemed to be clicking much as it had earlier in the season. Who knew, however, that those would be the only points Cornell would score all afternoon as the Red suffered its third straight defeat, 27-7?

Football Hopes to Topple Bears

It was hard to take football head coach Jim Knowles ’87 seriously as he casually discussed the intricacies of Brown’s passing attack. He had a unibrow thickly drawn in and a dark mustache painted on his upper lip — not to mention a towel stuffed in the back of his shirt to give a hunchback look.
But Knowles knew what he was talking about. In fact, he was dead serious about shutting down Ivy leader Brown’s (3-2, 2-0 Ivy) potent passing attack. With wins over Harvard and Princeton, Brown is the only undefeated Ivy squad remaining.
