Cornell columbia football game

Columbia captured the Empire Cup for the third time in the last four years, finished its season with a overall record, and placed fourth in the Ivy League with a slate. In addition, Columbia's seven wins rank as the third-most overall wins in school history since the institution joined the Ivy League in Two of the interceptions led directly to Columbia points, while Cornell was limited to just one touchdown on red zone opportunities and on third down conversions.

Penalties on both sides played a major role in the game as Columbia set a school-record for most penalties in a single-game with In the end, the two teams combined for 29 penalties for yards. Patricia and Shepard Head Coach of Football Al Bagnoli said he was proud of his team but noted that the number of penalties and mistakes were frustrating.

The volume of penalties that were self-inflicted, dropped balls, and negative plays—if we're ever going to get really good, we've got to minimize those errors. They've got some moxie, and they hang in there and they make plays. When you challenge them, most of the time, they respond. We tried to challenge them at halftime.

The message was 'let's just make routine plays, that's all it is. Let's not complicate things, just make routine plays, routine throws, routine catches, routine tackles, know where your leverage is. We did it better in the second half than we did in the first. It's been unprecedented. To go out the way they did with a win, I couldn't be more proud of them.

It gives us some really positive momentum going into the offseason. All the hurdles and obstacles that were put in front of them, and all the regulations that they had—it was just remarkable that they can go through all that and turn around and win seven games. Ironically the three teams that beat them were all good teams.
