ITHACA, N.Y. -- Here are some notes from the Cornell football team's 24-10 loss at No. 22 Harvard on Saturday.
 

NOTES

  • Alex Kuzy's eight receptions and 92 receiving yards were both career highs.
  • With his touchdown, SK Howard now has five rushing and six overall scores for his career.
  • Richie Kenney added 196 passing yards to his career total, bringing that number to 2,846 - good for No. 11 in Cornell history and 154 yards away from becoming the ninth player with 3,000 yards.
  • Jake Stebbins added 2.5 tackles for loss, giving him double digits (11.5) for his career.
  • He also now has 92 tackles, eight away from the century mark.
  • Five of Koby Kiefer's 23 punts this season have gone at least 50 yards, and his 56-yarder against Harvard tied his career long.
  • Holt Fletcher  has been in on a tackle for loss in each of the last three games after his 1.5 TFL day against Harvard.
  • Harvard's three turnovers were a season high, as were the three turnovers caused by the Big Red.
  • Cornell has now scored a rushing touchdown in each game this season and in nine straight overall, the longest streak by the Big Red since recording 10 spanning the 2007-08 campaigns. 
  • The Big Red's 10 tackles for loss were a season high and the most since posting 10 against Yale in 2019, the most on the road since recording 11 at Dartmouth in 2013 and the most vs. Harvard since 2003 (10.0).
  • Garrett Patla has put five of his last six kickoffs through the end zone for touchbacks.
  • With its successful PAT try, Cornell place-kickers have made 24 consecutive extra-point attempts.
  • The Big Red has not scored in the first quarter this season, but its 31 second quarter points account for more than half the team's scoring on the season.
  • Freshman Jameson Wang had three carries for 13 yards and became the first freshman to earn time at quarterback for the Big Red since Jake Jatis in 2014.
