Reply To: My Lehigh Football "Complaints" After Fordham Game

[TMHParticipant]

Good memory.
The 2013 Lehigh football team to me were a great bunch of overachievers. We had lost Colvin, Barkett and Spadola aamong others from the offense. I had watched a few practices and the Brown/White game and absolutely no one distinguished themself at QB. Then suddenly BB emerged from the pile and although not terribly strong-armed appeared to be incredibly accurate. Trouble was they became a one-trick pony of BB to LK and strung together a bunch of one score wins including over a very good New Hampshire squad.
The wheels finally ame apart at Bucknell. I remember it being cold mostly due to a 17-25 mph wind going across the field. BB, coming form AZ perhaps) seemed completely out of his element even prior to the injury. We had no redible backup and the ground game became useless due to the big hole we had dug. Sherman had over 1,000 yds that season but almost half were in the last 3 games. He carried the team on his back.
This year is completely different IMHO although it is true anything can happen. AC remembers that game. The seniors remember that game. Tyler Ward remembers that game. Over-confidence will not be a factor. This game is in the friendly confines of Goodman Stadium and the weather should be perfect for football. This team has far more weapons to call on with far more depth. Remember 2013 was the 1st scholarship year. Word has it that our backup QB this year is pretty good :-). This defense is peaking. The return game is really solid and we have the best kicker in the league. Most of all, this game clinches the PL and our guys can taste it. Lack of intensity will not be a factor. All we need is for our guys to prove me right on the field. But yes…anything can happen (see Monmouth vs Presbyterian)
