I thought the D played well enough to win. To be fair, Yale’s TD’s were on a short field. Really no sustained drives and it seemed like the receivers were rarely open and when they were the pass was off target.
And even though the D played well, you cannot give up that TD at the end of the half.
This is really the first game this year that I won’t look back on and say Yale could have easily won.
Should have said the first “loss” I won’t look back on
I thought that the long uncovered pass and the multiple missed tackles on runs had been corrected based on then early season. But they seemed to creep back into games. Are there corrections? Princeton didn’t seem to allow either. (Congrats to special teams, who played extremely well!).
Today Yale where pretenders not contenders.They needed someone to give them a spark today no one showed up.Grooms and the offense line where manhandle by Princeton defense today boy where they. Tough day for the offense the play calling was bad to hope it gets better next weekend or it could be a long afternoon.Good luck against Harvard GO BULLDOGS.
Yale couldn’t come up with the kind of big plays that were needed to win the last three games. Princeton D was just too good and Grooms was over-throwing and under-throwing to his receivers. Let’s hope he and the rest of the Bulldogs help us forget today’s loss with a dominant win over Harvard.
I thought everyone on here thought Grooms was the savior?
Must be Douchemouth Fan, they’re the only ones with the mannerisms of a troll.
gentlemen; tough day for our blue.
Even the best have bad days,Remember Grooms is only a SO..with a young offense line and they will be all back only warfield will be gone.Im sorry to say this but this type of game could happen next weekend with harvard. There as good or better then the tigers defense.Next weekend with harvard we have to find an offense our it will be a long day.
A tough day for sure and next week will be a huge challenge.
The good news…. A lot of this team will be back and more experienced next year.
Go Bulldogs! Upset those Harvard’s.
gentlemen; it would be interesting to know the true playing status of mr. dudek who was in uniform yesterday and mr. o’conner who was not. humble suggestion to the offensive coordinator tiger defense blitzed every third and more than six yards and more than half the time on second and long expect the cantabs to do the same which suggests having a safety valve for mr. grooms and/or shorter routes.
Our guys just got skunked. 414 total yards for Princeton, 220 for Yale. Only aspect of the game the Bulldogs excelled in was special teams. By the way, the announcers mentioned briefly that O’Connor “was not available”. I haven’t seen his jersey on the sidelines for the last 3 games. What’s up with him? So badly injured he can’t suit up, or has he quit to enter the transfer portal early? In either event, neither of the two QB’s seems to have the field presence nor the accuracy, for that matter, that Rawlings had from the time he was a freshman, but I guess that goes without saying. Maybe next year. Let’s hope Grooms and the whole team gets fired up after this one and beats the heck out of Harvard.
I don’t think O’Connor was suited up for the Brown game either which makes me wonder if the coaches are disinclined to have Grooms take off and run as daringly as he has in some prior games. If Grooms gets hurt who would come off the bench? That may have been the reason for his hesitancy that caused caused two passes beyond the line of scrimmage. There were two other plays where it looked like he had a clear field and it was surprising he didn’t run for the first down rather than throw. Both resulted in incompletions.
Next Saturday is the last game for 10 months. Daring runs by Grooms may be required to win.
Grooms will be fine but think most realized that he is not the second coming. He really had not played a full game against a top defense. Hoping there is improvement vs the Crimson.
Yale basketball just took a beating by Seaton Hall. You live by the three you die by the three.No inside game at all. Yale has trouble recruiting big men every year no one in the middle this year could be trouble for Yale . Every other team in the league has big man they do help. Yale will finish forth this year in the league
It’s all Vicky Chun’s fault!!!!
Mrs. Doonesbury, right on time. Vicky Chuns. Is ok. she is no Tom Beckett.
The Game will be won or lost where it always is…in the trenches
If we can block Grooms will have space to run or pass
If they control the line of scrimmage, watch out for Boucher and Shamplin to run wild.
Go Bulldogs!
Don’t forget Borguet who shredded us in 2019.
They have been picked by the media as first place in the Ivy League! Seton Hall plays in a much higher basketball conference.
Yale’s big men left rather than stay another year in New Haven. Ivy cancellation of last season caused Bruner to post grad at Alabama and Atkinson to Notre Dame. Newcomer Yussif Basa Ama will make his presence felt as the season progresses.
18,000 tickets sold so far.
3 way tie Harvard, Princeton, D’Mouth. Yale 5-5 .
Three way tie =Not likely
It’s possible Brown could outscore Dartmouth. Princeton somehow losing to Penn, which is just not very good, is highly unlikely. BOTH of those things happening is an obscure chance indeed.
Why, in the name of all that is holy, must our sacred game be presented by UBS, or anyone else for that matter?
It’s good business, you can’t sell that many tickets. So they get a windfall to offset the loss.
Welcome to the 21’st century. Go Bulldogs!!
Somehow, I think the joint endowments would cover the “loss.” Meanwhile, how about a touch of UBS on the diplomas, the higher your class standing the more logos you get on your sheepskin.
So, are there going to be temporary lights brought in this week? Just in case.
I’m feeling pretty gloomy. Our D makes some big plays but doesn’t really stop people. Hate to pick against the Blue but at this point in the week I’d say H 35, Y 27.
OTOH, as peeps are saying above, this fall has laid the groundwork for 2022. We have some hellacious DL talent and Grooms overall has really emerged. Never thought ’21 would be the year — tough to maintain same level with Rawlings, Shofti, Klubnik all graduated.
Can anyone provide a logical explanation for the staff’s handling of timeouts in the last 5 minutes of the Princeton game? I can’t think of any scenario where not utilizing them makes any sense, other than a “we give up” scenario.
Not confident about Harvard but …
Remember 2016!
We’ll need trickeration, some turnovers, maybe an onside kick
I was shocked when we won in 2016. If we win Saturday I would not be shocked.

Princeton lowered the boom on Grooms.
