Yale at Lehigh Game Breakdown and Fearless Prediction: Ridiculous, Sublime, Awesome, Or Awful?

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

This week, College Sports Journal picked their order of finish of the Ivy League and the Elis were picked to finish 5th, in contrast to the preseason Ivy League media poll, where they were picked fourth.

“Exhale, Elis, you did it,” it said.  “For only the second time in a decade, Yale finally beat their most bitter Rival in The Game, 21-14, giving head coach Tony Reno something pleasant to bring into the offseason for a change.  That win, however, somewhat masks a maddeningly inconsistent 2016, where Yale went 3-7, gave up more than 40 points on defense four times, and somehow managed to lose to Cornell 27-13 at Schoellkopf Field.  The win in The Game will provide hope in New Haven and a good feeling in the offseason, but will it translate into a winning season and an Ivy League title run?”

Game Breakdown, Yale at Lehigh, 10/3/2015

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

All week everyone’s been tracking the progress of a potential superstorm, hurricane Joaquin.  While the main concern, of course, is the safety of everyone in the hurricane’s path, people are also wondering whether the storm will be affecting the game this weekend in the form of wind or rains.

It turns out, if the tracking goes the way the majority models are indicating, that Lehigh’s 12:30 game at Murray Goodman might not only escape the rain, but there might not be any showers to speak of.

In the latest hour by hour at Weather.com, the forecast actually only has modest showers in the morning, ending by 11:00 AM (just in time for tailgating), and remaining partly cloudy all the way until 4:00 PM on Saturday, an absolute perfect window for the football game and Goodman stadium homecoming activities.

In short, it’s increasingly looking like the storm will either move very slowly through the Caribbean,  or take a sharp right turn and head so far out to sea that the worst of the winds of the storm will miss the Lehigh Valley completely.  Though the situation is still serious along the Eastern shore, at Murray Goodman it is actually, against all earlier odds, looking like good weather.
