🤣🤣 Lehigh game notes are up. Lots of new faces on our O's 2 deep. Looking at both yours and ours. We will score. Enuf? Think so. Can UR? Co-coordinators? It may take a few games to get all the new pieces working together. Including your coaches.
Rooting aside none of us has a real handle on own teams much less anyone else's.

You dodged the question. Not bad for an engineer.
 
Our friends at Lehigh have stated that they have a totally new offensive (or newly reconfigured) line to start the season. I am not sure that is enough to tip the balance towards the Spiders.

We are glad you have joined us. On the old board, many were unhappy with the move. Now that W&M and Nova are joining, we are pretty excited. Our first game- against Lehigh- will be a dogfight. The winner will have a shot at the conference championship and a spot in the playoffs.

By the way, Richmond hasn't had a marching band in 50 years (It might be longer).

Thanks. I've admired Richmond's program and attended the LU-UR regular season game back in 2021. Did a tour with kid #1 at that time and have been back to UR's campus multiple times since - one of the best IMO. Robbins Stadium is nice; hope student attendance picks up. I'll be back... :)

Counter, will the team be busing to Bethlehem, or somehow flying? getting up the I-95 corridor before Labor Day weekend could be a hellish experience.

Go Spiders!

FCS Game of the Week​

No. 25 Richmond (10-3 last season) at No. 14 Lehigh (9-4)

Kickoff: Noon ET Saturday at Goodman Stadium in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (ESPN+)

Series: Tied 2-2 (last meeting: Lehigh won 20-16 at Richmond in the 2024 FCS playoff first round)

Notable: Coming off a CAA Football title last season, Richmond debuts as a Patriot League member at defending champion Lehigh, and it’s one of just two games during the 2025 FCS regular season that is a rematch from last year’s national playoffs (also North Dakota State at South Dakota State on Oct. 25). The Mountain Hawks erased a 16-7 deficit in the fourth quarter with touchdowns of 65 (Jaden Green run) and 54 (Hayden Johnson-to-Geoffrey Jamiel pass) yards. Green (777 yards, 10 TDs) and Luke Yoder (1,014, 10) return to the Lehigh offense that ranked 12th in the FCS in rushing yards per game (201.8), but Richmond’s run defense was formidable, as it would have ranked second in the Patriot League (127.3). Spiders quarterback Carter Wickersham is a 69.4% career passer, and they’re particularly strong in the trenches and with leading tackler Carter Glassmyer returning at linebacker. The Mountain Hawks, who have lost six consecutive season openers, boast the PL’s preseason defensive player of the year in D-end Matt Spatny (11.5 sacks).

The Pick: Lehigh
 
Spread is Lehigh by 2.5 point, over/under is 48.5. (Fandual) Going to the game, hope to see a game this close....
 
Anyone on here attending? If so, couple round on me. Tom Carney
