With regard to Lehigh-Lafayette upsets I really can’t say how often they happen, but I can recall the one most memorable to me. In 1968 I was a freshman all stressed out, trying to make the grade academically at big old overwhelming Lehigh. Going to football games, properly fueled, was a great release.
The games were never close and became more of a party atmosphere to see how bad they would be this week. The embattled coach was 4 and 32 overall going into the last game of his fourth year. The Pards (7-2) were heavy favorites to the Engineers (2-7). Biggest party of my college career may have been following the stunning 21- 6 Lehigh upset. Fred Dunlap went on to 7 more years of relative success, and there is no doubt that game saved his job.
