BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh football team jumped out to a 17-0 lead and held off Princeton’s fourth-quarter charge to down the Tigers, 17-14 on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Goodman Stadium. Senior quarterback Mike Colvin completed 21-of-34 for 276 yards (206 in the first half). The defense held Princeton without a first down until late in the first half, while holding the Tigers to just 206 total yards for the game.

Senior Ryan Spadola had seven catches for 102 yards, good for his second 100-yard game of the season and 14th of his career. Junior Lee Kurfis finished with 75 yards on four receptions while sophomore Dylan Colgate had two catches for 33 yards, including a big 27-yarder late in the fourth quarter.

3 plays, 44 yards - touchdown
8 plays, 75 yards - touchdown
9 plays, 34 yards - field goal
3 plays, 27 yards - touchdown
4 plays, 43 yards - touchdown
10 plays, 49 yards - field goal
punt return - touchdown
6 plays, 39 yards - touchdown
5 plays, 92 yards - touchdown

We have had 2 drives > 50 yards in 3 games. Last year, against NC State, Robert Morris, and JMU (our first 3 games, comparative to this year's first 3 games) we had 6 drives > 50 yards.

I don't see us scoring that many points without help from our defense and/or special teams. I think our offense will be much better come conference play, but right now we cannot depend on them for points.

Having said that, Lehigh is pretty much in the same boat. They are averaging 26.33 points per game against Monmouth, Cent Con St, & Princeton. They are replacing their all-american QB just like us; this is their first road game in a hostile environment; we have played much better competition than they have. All this adds up to our first W on the year.

Should be a great game.

But he may not fit the LU image profile for being a big name!

but LU has the fired Western Carolina coach calling plays. that's better than the winning Citadel guy obviously.

Liberty hasn’t started a season with an 0-4 record since 1982. The Flames finished that season with seven straight victories.
