THE HEAD COACH: Coach Terry Cullen begins his 45th season at the helm of the big Red program with a 157-125-7 record (.555). Cullen has been a member of the coaching staff since 1964 and officially became the Terry Cullen Head Coach of Sprint Football in 2001.

THE SERIES VS. PRINCETON: When Cornell defeated Princeton last season, 44-0, it extended Cornell's dominance over the Tigers, improving the Big Red to 56-27-4 in the all-time series.

SCOUTING THE TIGERS: Princeton is currently riding a 27-game losing streak, dating back to 2005, and has not had a winning season since 1989. The Tigers dropped their season opener to Penn, 48-12, but showed some big play potential as Andrew Gabriel and Kees Thompson both scored long touchdowns. Kevin Infante led the team in rushing with 46 yards on 24 carries, while Gabriel finished the game with 45 yards on just six carries, including a 41-yard touchdown run. Jaison Zachariah was under center for Princeton and finished with a respectable 7-for-17 performance, throwing for 119 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Thompson was his favorite target with four catches for 95 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown reception. The defense was led by Michael Howard's eight tackles, while Kevin Zilgado registered five tackles, including three for a loss, 2.5 sacks and a blocked kick.
