Fordham at Lehigh Game Breakdown And Fearless Prediction: Remember getting Chase-d Out of the Bronx?

We break down the Fordham game – and we give our fearless prediction below the flip.

Remember when Fordham RB Chase Edmonds set a Patriot League rushing record against the Mountain Hawks?  I do – it happened just last year, just the sort of Halloween “treat” I’d rather live without.

“Edmonds came out of the locker room like a man on fire, and played like it,” I wrote.  “Two 14 yard runs set up Fordham’s go-ahead score, and he would rush for 100 yards in the 3rd quarter, ripping off a 60 yard touchdown run to give Fordham a 38-21 lead and capping off three straight touchdowns for the Rams.”

Another less-publicized reason for Lehigh losing in the Bronx last season?  Unforced errors.

“Unfortunately, we’re still our own worst enemy,” head coach Andy Coen said afterwards.  “Whether its penalties or turnovers, you can’t beat a good team with those. They’re trying to learn that lesson. If you’re going to keep turning the ball over more than everybody else, it’s hard to win games.”

I’m guessing that the Lehigh football players are aware of these two events from last season.

Game Breakdown, Lehigh at Fordham, 10/24/2015

We break down the Fordham game – and we give our fearless prediction below the flip.

Fans, coaches and players alike are keenly aware of the importance of this weekend’s game.

“If you look at our win against Bucknell and our win against Penn, which are our two best wins of the year, those were our two best weeks of practice,” senior TE Chris Ruhl told The Brown and White this week. “It was our most intense week of practice. It was our most focused week of practice, so head coach Andy Coen has been pushing for us to set the standard with that.”

Also in this week’s game notes for Lehigh, which I forgot about for yesterday, sees a big return on the two-deep as well in junior LB Colton Caslow.

“We’ve still got a lot of work to do and we’re still working hard on getting better every single time we step on the field,” senior LB Noah Robb said this week. “We’ve made a lot of progress, even from two weeks ago. We’re getting there.”

Lehigh fans hope they “get there” this Saturday.

“It’s really crazy, honestly,” Robb continued. “To think I only have a couple months left, of football, I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself when it’s over… Off the field, Lehigh is a great place to go. I’ve had opportunities to network.  I’ve received a great education and couldn’t ask for a better place to spend the best four years of my life. But I don’t want to leave Lehigh without a [championship] ring.”
