9/26/2022 9:00:00 AM

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Here are some notes from Cornell's 38-14 loss to Yale on Saturday, Sept. 24 at Schoellkopf Field.
 

TEAM

  • Cornell's record in Ivy League openers dropped to 28-36-2, while its mark on Homecoming is now 37-35-2.
  • It's just the 15th time (in 800 games) since 1936 that neither Cornell nor its opponent turned the ball over in a game, though its the fifth time since 2018 it has happened and the second time in its past four games (at Dartmouth, Nov. 13, 2021).
  • Eight different receivers have caught passes for the Big Red thus far. Each player has at least two catches and no more than four.
  • Yale's five sacks were the most allowed by the Big Red since Harvard notched six on Oct. 12, 2019.
  • Cornell's 15-play scoring drive was its longest since using 16 plays to march 94 yards for a touchdown at Penn on Nov. 9, 2019.
  • The 8:36 that drive chewed up was its longest drive in terms of time since a 17-play, 94-yard scoring march took 8:48 at Penn on Nov. 21, 2015.
  • The 99-yard scoring drive in the first quarter was the first of its kind since the Big Red used 10 plays to march the distance after a goal-line stand that gave the Big Red a share of the Ivy title on Nov. 19, 1988.
 

INDIVIDUAL

  • Jameson Wang has four touchdowns passes and zero interceptions through two games, the first time a Big Red quarterback tossed four scoring passes without a pick since Dalton Banks matched that mark over the first three games of 2016.
  • Wang's 43-yard run was the longest by a Cornell player since Harold Coles rumbled 58 yards against Columbia on Nov. 23, 2019.
  • With seven tackles against Yale, senior Jake Stebbins boosted his total to 169, moving him into the top 50 all-time at Cornell at No. 49. With eight more, he'll move all the way into the top 40.
  • Jackson Kennedy is 6-for-6 in career PATs after booting both his through the uprights against the Bulldogs.
  • Rasean Thomas posted a career-high eight tackles after entering the contest with one career stop.
  • Both Nicholas Laboy and Eddy Tillman caught their first collegiate touchdowns.
  • Max Lundeen has sacks in consecutive games to start 2022, becoming the first Big Red player with sacks in each of the team's first two contests since Cyrus Nolan in 2018.
