[quote quote=28209]Please Game On, we are all happy that we won the game. However, one win doesn’t make up for fact that we have had one of the worst defenses in all of FCS for three years running and somehow the defensive coordinator kept his job.

I agree. None of us want to trash Lehigh, we all enjoy winning. But you cannot discount the mistakes that were made over the last couple years (please don’t even get me started with Leh-Laf 150). Combine that with Coen’s unwarranted faith in bringing back a defensive coordinator and scheme that has shown absolutely nothing and you will get a somewhat agitated fan base that feels a need for change at the top. Pretty sure Coen understood this when Bott came back this year.

Game On, do you really want puff out your chest and hitch your wagon to one half of good defensive football after watching the last 2 years and the 1st 2 1/2 games of this year? While it was great to watch, I just don’t think something just “clicked” yesterday. I think it was a combination of some good adjustments and an injured Penn QB. Hold Colgate to under 35 and then I’ll be impressed.

This offense can be special and it could also go far into the playoffs. That being said, if your defense cannot hold a mediocre offense to under 400 yds and 40 pts, you won’t win a game in the postseason. Some of us aspire to see Lehigh as a factor in the postseason and not just the Patriot League champs.

And a side question to anyone with expertise with a 3-3-5 defense…Is there any reason why you stay in a base 3-3-5 defense on 4th and 1 on the 6 yard line? Not being sarcastic, just curious.
