Week 6

I’m saying what you’re thinking: This is scholarship football?! At least we’ve reached that point in the season where we embarrass each other instead of depending on outsiders to do it for us.

HOLY CROSS @ BUCKNELL
COLGATE @ LEHIGH
LAFAYETTE @ FORDHAM
Princeton @ GEORGETOWN

Game of the Week: COLGATE @ LEHIGH – The first, and possibly deciding, battle for king of the cesspool.

Major meltdown in Hamilton yesterday, with others embarrassing us. A shot to the gut of the Raiders who may never recover this season.

Crusaders show they have discovered some offense even w/o Pujals, albeit it was against the spotted pussies. Bucknell has been searching for offense since...? Crusaders not the "Gilmore Girls". Holy Cross 27-21.

Rams will be slightly upset after getting roasted on the beach. Leotards will pay from long runs in their stockings. Fordham 38-23.

Hoyas licking their wounds but find a an opponent that may provide some balm. If they can forget last Saturday, they can win. Not sure they will, but I'll take a flier with the Hoyas, 24-23.

Lehigh and Colgate in "the" showdown of the year....to date. Lehigh has come on like gangbusters after their toe-stubbing in their opener with Monmouth. Not starting stars tackle Duffy and QB Shafnisky, the offense behind Mayes blasted records. Who will play on Saturday? Does it matter. Who does 'gate prepare for? Will the M-Hawk defense tighten up...and how will the loss of Quinton Jones impact the improved secondary? How do the Red Raiders respond from the Big Red's surprising come-from-behind win? Come with fire or has confidence been shattered? Also, will there be a hurricane lurking off the coast? With all these factors floating around, Lehigh will shine, 45-42.

HOLY CROSS @ BUCKNELL – Cross continues schizoid so there are no guarantees. Bucky is not getting it done (again/still).

COLGATE @ LEHIGH – Not yet convinced that either one of these is the real deal. Nod to the home team.

FORDHAM @ LAFAYETTE – Anyone, besides KillaBee, picking the Pards has been unconscious, on drugs, dead, or all of the above. They are a really bad football program, and it goes way beyond coaching. Besides, the crack Leopard coaching staff can watch the Fordham running back that they, in their infinite wisdom, recruited as a DB.

Princeton @ GEORGETOWN – Do the Hoyas have a chance? Probably not, but it’s worth an idle dream, isn’t it?

Should Holy Cross beat Bucknell this weekend, all of a sudden that home game against Lehigh on Oct. 22 becomes pretty pretty interesting. Despite the many issues (injuries and inner turmoil...whether that's true or not), the schedule is favorable for them the next three weeks with all being home games.

There seemed to be a renewed energy and attitude against Lafayette. Maybe it was third string QB Geoff Wade getting the start, and HC playing with a chip on their shoulder. By the way, ten year anniversary of a certain HC QB having a coming-out-party against Lafayette...final score in that game was also 38-28. Hmmmmm.

First things first -- need to take care of Bucknell.

Holy Cross is the only PL school I haven't been to. If Lehigh and HC are rolling into that game I might head up. The only thing is it's the same weekend as Temple-USF in Philly which could also be a huge game.

Tough week all around. 2-3 last time, down to 21-9 for the season. Let's see if I can bounce back (like a certain PL team I know...)

Bucknell at Holy Cross Holy Cross Crusaders got a nice win to open up League play, in the sense that every League win feels good. 1-0 is better than the alternative. 2-0 is even better, which seems more likely. Unless of course the Bison used their bye week to get healthy and return the necessary bodies to make their offense...do something, I guess? Disappointing OOC aside, HC is still very much a player in the League race. Unless the Bison win, then who knows?

Colgate at Lehigh Colgate Musing about the too-early date aside, this has the potential to be a very pivotal game for Colgate's season. A win gets us to a (slightly) more palatable record, and represents a huge step forward toward repeating as League champs. With a loss? Tailspin might be too strong a word, but at 1-4 and already losing a tiebreaker to another contender, the season might be close to over at the halfway point. Beyond their ability to respond to a difficult collapse, how desperate will this team be with almost everything on the line so soon? Get the scoreboard warmed up, these two offenses are going to make this a fun one. Will it come down to the wire with the defense needing to make a stop again? At this point, our defense makes me nervous, but that's better than I'd feel if I were a Lehigh fan.

Fordham at Lafayette Fordham At this point, only the loss to Monmouth is unexpected considering preseason hopes for the Rams. I suppose, of course, Monmouth might be better than we were expecting (at least around here), but that moment has passed. Lafayette, meanwhile, is playing to type so far. Expectations are a funny thing, and right now the safe bet seems to be taking the slightly-below-expectations Rams over the right-about-where-we-all-figured Leopards.

Princeton at Georgetown Princeton Speaking of expectations, I can't be mad at the Hoyas for losing to Harvard. Sure they're struggling on offense, and may yet have similar trouble the rest of the way, but 3-1 still looks good as we're into October. I saw some noise last week about Princeton getting caught out by Columbia, which didn't quite seem to happen. To be fair, Georgetown is better than Columbia, but I think it's still safe to say Princeton is better than Georgetown. Fun fact, this will be the Hoyas 8th matchup with Princeton, making the Tigers their most played Ivy League opponent (if I'm counting right on cfbdatawarehouse).

BUCKNELL @ HOLY CROSS , Cross 3rd string QB better than Becky 2nd string, but I have been wrong on Cross and Bucky 6 out of 9 games so far, so good chance for home team to win

COLGATE @ LEHIGH, Lehigh on a pay back mission, could be a lot of pts scored and last possession is key

FORDHAM @ LAFAYETTE, suspect this game may be a lot closer than most expect

Princeton @ GEORGETOWN, mid season and lack of Hoyas depth will start to show big time

21-9 on the year after a bad week 5

Limped along last week, now at 21-9 for the year. Who would have thought Colgate & Fordham were going to be my two losses....uggh.

BUCKNELL @ HOLY CROSS - Gilmore survives, again - much to the chagrin of several AGS posters. They are caught between wanting a new Head Coach...and wanting to win. This week they win, 23-17.
COLGATE @ LEHIGH - How I long for the late 90's /early 2000's..when this was THE game of the year for the PL. It was often played late Oct....now a mid season match up, this could theoretically be the game of the year. Is there an over on this one? First one to 50 wins. I'll take Lehigh, 52-49.
FORDHAM @ LAFAYETTE - Still surprised by last week for the Rams....but maybe I shouldn't be? Even though they're home, have to take Fordham, 36-16.
Princeton @ GEORGETOWN - I think this will be closer than others think. This will be my upset special...Hoyas, 21-17. Maybe something crazy happens on special teams.

You got that right. A devastating loss that could affect the team's psyche the entire season. That said....

Colgate over Lehigh by 10...Coach Hunt is a master psychologist and should have the team on collective amnesia.

Let's be honest here, PL games aren't so much blacked out as they are just uncovered. But this game is listed as going live on the PL Campus Insiders live stream. I would also be surprised if the Ivy streaming service wasn't carrying it. If you have a Chromecast, send the stream right to the TV.

I think also if you have a Roku box there is a Campus Insiders app (or something like that) that allows a direct broadcast. I don't have one so I don't know for sure, but I recall in the preseason having a discussion about that.

Yes, it's on the PL network. It's also likely on one of those sketchy European web sites that stream sporting events--which are similar to the ones that got shut down en masse when they streamed the Super Bowl a few years back. Just don't click on any pop-up box (repeat, don't do it) and you can see nearly every D-I game out there.

Georgetown 27 Princeton 24 - I like the Hoyas to pull the modest upset. Their defense is solid....

Final

Tough day in Bethlehem. The offense really misses Holland, as Washington is a nice back, but too many times he seems to get caught after a yard or two. Lehigh made several plays when they needed to, especially the goalline stand and the kickoff TD, and were able to pull away.

Hard to say the season is really over, but even a 5-0 finish to the season only helps if the Hawks drop 2. Outside of Fordham, is that really likely? HC maybe?

Heck of a game today. The first half Lehigh's O seemed out of sync. Some odd play calls, but when they get in gear, look out! Defense actually played well overall. About four plays where breakdowns occurred resulting n about 200 yards of Colgate's offense. For the most part, D played tough and #12 did a very credible job subbing for Quincy Jones at CB. Jones is done for the year due to severity of concussion. Special teams were pretty good. Mish had some great punts, but some of his PKs had low trajectories with one tipped that still went through, and a FG blocked. Gatlin Casey had a monster day with almost 300 all-purpose yards. With he and Pelletier, I doubt there is as dynamic a WR duo in the country. Reminds one of Spadola and Kurfis a few years back. Shaf had a very strong game after a shaky start. Was off on some of his passes, but really settled down. Said the ankle is sore but he just ignores it when between the lines. This was a strong win. No fluke type win. If they focus on each each game and not get caught looking ahead, they can certainly run the table. BTW, attendance "officially" listed around 9700, but there had to be over 10,000. West stands were full, people in and above the horsehoe and about 2,500 in the East stands. On the road for two weeks (Gtown and HC). Hopefully come back with a 3-0 record and great crowd awaiting to see the Fordham game.

No doubt about that! It's the uni's........gotta love the brown & white. Scrap the gold.....now. This one felt like a good ol LU home game. D really stepped up after a very shaky start. But, like last week, coach should never, ever, take the foot off the gas. Game was not as close as final score, but when you can bury a team, you do it.

Andy will never run up a score. He's taken his foot off the pedal the past few weeks. He was more concerned with running down the clock, which was done. Passing has only 1/3 outcomes good, with the other two being an INT or an INC, which stops the clock. I do like the basic Brown & White, which we used in the early 70's, though style was different.

Well, the Tom Gilmore era at HC probably ended today...so there's that.

It's not that they lost to Bucknell, but the way they lost, giving up a nice lead. Trouble in River City....

Interesting moment at the end of the 3rd quarter when a Gate fan left the stands and went over to the defense and started yelling at them. He had to be told to leave by gate coaches....

Man, wish I had seen that from my vantagepoint. Can you see it on the game feed anywhere?

You might be able to see it in the video feed. He had a black/greyish tshirt on with a hoodie slung over his shoulder. He literally went down the steps onto the side line, walked over to the defense and started to berate them for a good 20-30 seconds before the coaches intervened and forced him to head back to his seat. It was something you'd see at a high school game with a disgruntled parent. Really bizarre.....

And the Tavani era at Lafayette goes on until he (Tavani) says it's over. Why? Because no one in authority cares.

There will be a new head coach at Holy Cross next year. The dwindling few that still care and follow the program won't be back if he does return

Lafayette really really bad. Still able to move the ball on us though, which is a sign that we have zero shot of stopping Lehigh's O. In our coaches defense the injuries have been many and devastating so the true freshmen and expected 3rd stringers playing are doing well for guys not expecting to have to play this year.

Holy Cross will absolutely hire a stud this off season and they will be off to the races imo. Lafayette can do the same but not sure when they'll choose to do so.

Looks to me like it's mostly all about Lehigh being able to continue to improve enough to make some noise in the playoffs in representing the PL. Not giving up all hope that we can give them a scare but that's the way it's looking to me right now

Well perhaps so for Lehigh if D continues improving.
Ram game will be an o/u of 120 :)
We couldn'r stop Chase last year. This year maybe we keep him under 200. :)
Rams wont stop Lehigh O.

Agreed. "Containing" Edmonds to 200 yards would be a moral victory and a real victory. I see a an O/U round 90-100 right now, but our D is getting better. Can't look that far ahead, yet. Big trap game coming up. Coaches need to really be up the team's butts this week about focus on what's immediately in front of them. This kind of talk is strictly for the fans.
