Five Things We Learned From Saturday’s Brown/White Game
Brown/White Game 2015 (LehighSports.Com)

We didn’t see much of the starting quarterback for 2015 on Saturday.

Junior QB Nick Shafnisky came in for one play – a hold on an extra point attempt, booted by the punter, senior P/PK Austin Devine.

We didn’t see much of the kicking game – Devine, who didn’t kick conversions last year, is likely in August to revert to full-time punting duties, with an incoming freshman having a golden opportunity to win the starting kicking job.

We saw a little bit of offensive line play – but it’s hard to judge how well this unit will represent the same group in the fall, only because the unit was racked by injury.

So what did we learn, exactly, from Saturday’s Brown and White game?  The answer is: more than you might imagine.

Despite Limited Roster, Brown And White Game A Success with 31-20 Win by White Offense

The game among the members of the press at the Brown/White game on a gorgeous Sunday morning was counting players.

Everyone knew that the Mountain Hawks had a depleted roster over the spring, made even more depleted with injuries to junior QB Nick Shafnisky, whose arm was shut down, and entire units, with the offensive line and defensive backfield only having enough athletes to barely fill out a single team of 1’s.

In the end, the size of the roster was the smallest anyone in the press box could recall in a Lehigh spring game – a shade under 50 athletes in pads.

Despite the challenges, though, the teams experienced a very productive scrimmage at Murray Goodman stadium, mixing live 11-on-11 full contact drives and 7-on-7 drills.

LFN’s 2015 Spring Preview – Defensive Backs and Special Teams

LFN’s 2015 Spring Preview – Defensive Backs and Special Teams
Senior SS Randall Lawson (Morning Call)

Lehigh’s defensive numbers in 2014, as I mentioned before, leave a lot to be desired.

And when you look at the secondary, it’s the same story.

Out of 121 FCS teams, Lehigh ranked 110th in pass defense, and if you watched the unit last year, you also saw too many big plays allowed by the defense, too.

The silver lining, though, is that Lehigh only graduates two players in the secondary, DB Jason Suggs and DB Jamil Robinson, so the returning starters all have a years’ experience under their belt in defensive coordinator Joe Bottiglieri‘s defensive system.

This spring has also posed some challenges for the Lehigh staff, as there are a lot of secondary players on the shelf with injuries, making it a challenge for the remaining players.
