Much as was expected, the sprint football team righted its season and steamrolled Princeton (0-4, 0-2 CSFL) in a 44-0 shutout victory at Schoellkopf Field on Friday.

The game was never competitive, with the home team jumping out to a dominating lead and never even feeling the pressure from a beleaguered Tigers squad.

The game statistics are simply staggering and tell the tale of a night that was owned by the Red (2-2, 2-1 CSFL).

The names and shade of red on the uniforms changed, but to a casual onlooker, the football team’s 28-10 loss to Harvard on Saturday might have seemed like a repeat of the prior week’s game. For the second game in a row, Cornell was physically outmatched on both sides of the ball and gave up more than 200 rushing yards while struggling to get its own ground game in sync. Crimson junior running back Gino Gordon, who led his team with 137 rushing yards and a touchdown, summed up the reason behind his team’s success on the ground.

“The holes were wide open, and I just ran through them,” he said.
