Brown (1-5, 1-3) benefited from numerous Cornell mistakes as the Big Red turned the ball over thee times and was penalized for a total of 120 yards in the game.

Cornell took a 7-0 lead on its first possession with a 12-yd. touchdown run by Todd Nicholson. However, Brown tied the game with 1:08 left in the first quarter on a 1-yd. touchdown plunge by John Skinner.

Clark threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter to give Brown a 21-7 halftime lead. On the first one, he rolled right and threw back across the field to Bill Miller, who ran 16 yards to score. The second strike was to Rodd Torbert for 10 yards.
