Dunleavy, Cornell's leading rusher for the game, finished with only 11 yards on six carries despite scoring three touchdowns.
Even with Rahne's offensive explosion in the second half, he could not compensate for the huge deficit. The quarterback finished the game with 62 pass attempts, completing 29 for 446 yards.
Rahne set a Cornell single-game record in total passing yardage in the game.
On the other side of the field, Eric Webber ended with 422 yards passing, completing 28 of 43 with four touchdowns.
Bears tailback Michael Malan mounted one of the most impressive offensive efforts in all of college football this season and was named Division IAA and Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week. He ended with 234 yards rushing, three rushing touchdowns and one passing TD.
This result, combined with Harvard's victory at Princeton and Yale's win against Penn, places Cornell in a five-way tie for first in the Ivy League with these four teams.
Cornell returns home next week to face the Princeton Tigers with the league lead on the line. Brown heads to Penn to take on the Quakers.
