The Cortland State Red Dragons (8-2) had little trouble defeating the Ithaca College Bombers (4-6) 27-3 on Saturday, to retain the Cortaca Jug. Senior quarterback Dan Pitcher had a masterful performance, completing 23-of-36 passes for 280 yards and 3 touchdowns. The senior rushed for an additional 94 yards, didn't throw an interception, and was never sacked.
Cortland rolled up 417 yards of offense to only 226 yards for Ithaca.
Cortland freshman Kordel McInnis caught seven passes for 73 yards, and John Babin grabbed five passes for a game-high 91 yards and a touchdown.
The Ithaca offensive line could not protect quarterback Jason Hendel. Hendel was sacked eight times, with eight different Red Dragons getting in on sacks.
The loss gave Ithaca its first losing season in 40 years. The Bombers have work to do to return to their proud tradition, as it was clear Dan Ruffrage (eight catches for 85 yards) was the only Ithaca player capable of stretching Cortland's defense. The Bombers typically have multiple players with big play ability.
