What happened
ESPN RECAPYale's special teams come up big in 27-16 win over Cornell
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- J.P. Shohfi returned an onside kick for a 49-yard touchdown and helped Yale thwart a late Cornell rally with a 27-16 win on Saturday in an Ivy League opener. Kurt Rawlings led Yale (2-0) on a 12-play, 79-yard scoring drive that ended with his 5-yard scoring toss to make it 17-10 for the Bulldogs with 11:21 left to play. Sam Tuckerman 's 33-yard field goal with 2:48 to go made it a 10-point lead. Cornell (1-1) responded when Richie Kenney marched the Bulldogs down the field and led a six-play, 75-yard scoring drive in 53 seconds that ended with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Delonte Harrell . Yale's special teams came up big and blocked the point-after try for a 20-16 margin and set up Shohfi's game-clinching score. Rawlings finished 15-of-21 passing for 181 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
