Georgetown Shut Down By Cornell O-Line, D-Line

After every game he broadcasts, John Madden selects an exemplary player or players to receive a spot on his “horse trailer.” Often, the veteran broadcaster selects the entire offensive or defense line for commendation. After the football team’s 45-7 thrashing against Georgetown on the road Saturday afternoon, Cornell’s men between the trenches might deserve such an honor.

The defensive line completely shut down Georgetown’s passing game, as Cornell notched five sacks and helped hold the Hoyas to only 173 yards through the air. In one particular fourth-down play, Georgetown quarterback Matt Bassuener dropped the snap, was subsequently crunched from both sides by Red blitzers and heaved the ball in desperation for an incomplete pass.
