Delaware/Lehigh Game

[SunCoastBlueHen]

No score so far. Teams sparring, but so far, advantage Lehigh

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Lehigh FG - good. 3-0 Lehigh. Lehigh offense showing more life than UD.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Delaware fumbles Kickoff. Lehigh ball on UD 26.

[Tod]

Still early, but UD better get their Ducks ( :D ;) ) in a row.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

1st and goal Lehigh @ UD 4. Young Hens better grow up quick!

[SunCoastBlueHen]

TD Lehigh. 10- 0 Engine Hawks. Powerhouse Patriot League?

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Man, Delaware really looking like an inexperienced team. Get a little going, then shoot themselves in the foot with penalties. Lehigh looks much the better so far.

[blur2005]

Well, both JMU and Delaware are having some trouble.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Delaware driving. Cuff TD run called back for holding. Questionable call.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Riccio TD pass to Cuff! Delaware shows some life on offense. PAT no good :(

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Defense holds. Momentum changing?

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Lehigh driving to open the 2nd half...

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Very efficient Lehigh drive stalls at UD 10 yd line. FG blocked by Tom Parks! Still 10 -6 Lehigh.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Riccio hurt? I missed that. Backup QB Carty in, first snap over his head, recovered in the endzone for a safety. 12 - 6 Lehigh.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Blue Hen faithful realizing worst fears. Delaware looks like a team in a rebuilding year.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Lehigh driving, fumbles, UD recovers. Long pass to young Michaud is dropped, sure TD. Riccio back in the game.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Delaware needs to find the stickum man. Lots of drops tonight.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

In all fairness, Lehigh is greatly outplaying Delaware tonight. UD is fortunate to be within a TD at this point.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

1st and goal Lehigh at UD 6.

[colgate13]

I'm watching. Lehigh is looking good...

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Wow, TD Lehigh on a 3rd and goal from the 16. Delaware does not look good.

[colgate13]

Lehigh scores again. two point PAT - 20-6 LU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hansel]

sounds like a good day for the A-10

[Granite]

I was thinking that UD was looking tough in the Red Zone - of course, Lehigh just scored and was successful on the 2 point conversion. The Hens are showing their inexperience tonight.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Delaware drives right down the field to answer in less than 1:30. Sign of a young team that can look so good in a couple drives and so bad in some others. Win or loose, this will be a good team before the season ends.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Lehigh comes right back to score. The M'Hawks are the better team at this point in the season. Watch out for Delaware later on, though. You can see some of their young talent. They just need to bring it all together...

[SunCoastBlueHen]

UD comes back for a quick TD. 27-20 with 8 min. left. Like I said, win or loose, Delaware will be a good team before season end.

[mainejeff]

Are you trying to convince yourself or the rest of us? ;)

[Hansel]

watchin the game on CN8, the field looks a little beat up for a home opener

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Myself, I guess Mainjeff. But, I have a way of swaying myself!

[Hoo-ah]

Great game, after that crap I watched this afternoon.

[Hansel]

where are KC's sunglasses at :p

[colgate13]

unbelievable game so far. I'm biting my nails... will it go to OT????

[SunCoastBlueHen]

That's the problem - no sunglasses forn KC!

[SunCoastBlueHen]

24 seconds left, 2nd down from the three - TD cuff to the outside! PAT with a freshman kicker who already missed one... Good! .... 27 - 27. OT?

[Hansel]

unbelievable game so far. I'm biting my nails... will it go to OT????
would appear so

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Heading to OT .... would be huge for UD to come back and win this game! Confidence for the young guys! Delaware got out played this game, would be a great game to be fortunate enough to win.

[colgate13]

Give Omar Cuff the game ball... outstanding.

[Hansel]

TD delaware, what a comeback

[dungeonjoe]

what is the web address for the stream?

[SunCoastBlueHen]

1st OT Delaware score TD! Riccio to Cuff after roll-out ! PAT good! 34 - 27 UD!

[colgate13]

Lehigh's running out of gas. They need a miracle.

[colgate13]

Borda is a tough cookie...

[Hansel]

nice run, and tackle

[Hansel]

4th and 1

[colgate13]

timeout LU. what play do you call? Do not run it - put Borda in motion with the ball. Give him the chance to pick it up himself.

[Granite]

Big hit - can't believe Borda shook it off that easily....

[colgate13]

i formation? NO!

[colgate13]

OPTION??? They are lucky!

[BlackSaturday]

that dive........wow talk about wanting it.

[bkrownd]

i formation? NO!

The I formation is the ultimate formation, man. :nod:

[Hansel]

that dive........wow talk about wanting it.
yah, he definetly pressed the "want" button on that one

[colgate13]

late hit!

[colgate13]

what is with this option crap? attack up the field. You can't beat UD's speed to the sideline!

[headdressguy]

Thanks for the video link, 13

[colgate13]

2 downs to go less than two yards. how strong is the kicking game this year LU? It was not great last year...

[blur2005]

Thanks for the video link, 13
Yeah, that was key.

[colgate13]

TD LEHIGH!

[BlackSaturday]

insta classic

[Hansel]

you were saying :)

[colgate13]

MISSED PAT!

[blur2005]

OH NO...I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

[BlackSaturday]

leave him in newark :bang:

[colgate13]

UNFRICKINBELIEVABLE! MAKE A PAT - YOU PRACTICE THIS ALL DAY LONG.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Lehigh showing a lot of guts! No good! Delaware ****s a horseshoe!

[mainejeff]

Unfotunately Delaware is both lucky and good........HUGE win for Delaware......HUGE.

[colgate13]

Both teams played very well. this could have been a playoff game. too bad one team has to lose. Lehigh represented themselves and the PL very well. They will are a very good team this year.

[ChickenMan]

Unfotunately Delaware is both lucky and good........HUGE win for Delaware......HUGE.

UD also missed a PAT... fumbled a KO return and gave LU a safety on a bad snap... luck is a two way street... :nod:

[mainejeff]

Yeah, they were lucky that they overcame that stuff as well......like I said, good and lucky. :nod:

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Yes, Lehigh played well, and I hate to say, probably played better tonight than, UD. But, UD puled it out with a young team! Watch out for the Blue Hens as the season progresses.

[mainejeff]

Both of these teams are strong, and it would not surprise me to see both in the playoffs.

[ChickenMan]

Where are all you Lehigh guys... Chicken got your tongue...??? Come on now... no need to hide... it was a great game. LU played very well and deserved a better fate... but unfortunately someone had to lose. UD is a looong way from a great team... but I do see potential in this young team and with what happened all over the Top 10 today... it looks like it could be one wild and crazy season in I-AA.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Amen, CM! Huge win for Delaware. Not that they were the better team tonight, but lots to grow on! Delaware will be a force to recon with come palyoff time!

[umassfan]

I thought you just told me the better team always wins? Hmmm is your logic wrong?

[SunCoastBlueHen]

uASSSFAN what the FU>K are you talking about?

[umassfan]

uASSSFAN what the FU>K are you talking about?
You said in the other thread that the better team one but here you said something completely different... you are going against your own logic

[89Hen]

Wow. Just got home from the game. I don't know what to say. LU was the better team for the first 2.5 quarters. UD somehow hangs in there and comes back twice and pulls it out. We had new seats this year in the corner of the endzone where all the action ended up being for UD in the fourth and for the OT. I'll try and get some pics up.

This thing felt like a playoff game, only with more people. The first half was a real dog, but the second half and especially the fourth quarter sure made up for it.

On a matter that didn't matter, can somebody who saw it on TV with replays let me know if LU really scored on that TD in OT? It was right in front of us and it sure looked like he fumbled before crossing the line. I thought the game was over at that point.

Man, looks like I'm going to need to catch up, a lot of upsets. Congrats to Coastal, NDSU, and McNeese especially!

[89Hen]

BTW, very nice gesture between teams... they lined up and shook hands at the end of the game, I've never seen that for a regular season game.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

I would just another shot. Semifinals in the playoffs would work. I just hope Lehigh can get it together, regroup and move on. I think they could do some damage in the playoffs if they stay healthy.

Even without having seen the other PL teams play this year, I'd put LU as the favorite to win the auto. Borda is really solid and your running back had a great game too.
