Lehigh Football Nation

We break down the James Madison game - and we give our fearless prediction, below the flip. This will be the Dukes' second game of the season, after last week's shellacking of non-scholarship Morehead State, 56-7. They never really took their foot off the gas. The Dukes racked up a school-record 713 yards against the hapless Eagles, including three position players rushing for over 100 yards.  Morehead State only turned over the ball twice, but the frenetic-pace-of-play Dukes still managed to execute 90 plays on offense and probably could have gotten up to 100 plays had they not relented just a little in the 4th quarter. It's not enough for Lehigh to hold James Madison to less than 713 yards in order to have a chance.  They'll need to do more.

You're a typical Lehigh fan.  You know Lehigh is playing James Madison next weekend.  You know that the Dukes have been a pretty good football team over the years.  After reading this fantastic Lehigh blog you found, you learned of that national championship they won with QB Justin Rascati , after that championship run that started with converting that 7th-and-goal against the Mountain Hawks in the playoffs. But then you read a recap of James Madison's game last weekend against Maryland, and then you don't know what to think. The Terps are a FBS team, playing their very first game as a member of the Big 10 against the Dukes, coasted to a 45-0 lead against James Madison and were never really threatened.  You read about mistakes, penalties, scoring only in garbage time.  You might have caught some of the BTN broadcast, showing a sullen QB Vad Lee angry at himself after his second interception. What's in that game?...
