Yale puts up 17 points in the fourth to defeat Cornell, 27-16

Heading into the final quarter tied at 10-10, Cornell felt like it had the momentum to topple preseason Ivy League favorite Yale on the road for the first time in a decade. The final 15 minutes, however, belonged to the opportunistic Bulldogs in a 27-16 victory over the Big Red on Saturday afternoon at the Yale Bowl.

Yale took advantage of four Big Red turnovers, including a touchdown return for an interception, and scored its final touchdown on an on-sides kickoff return touchdown in the final minutes to balloon the final score. Despite that, Cornell outgained the Bulldogs (339-327) and had its chances to win the game before Yale took control.
