Lehigh Football Nation

All WR Troy Pelleite r and OL Zach Duffy ever wanted was a shot at the NFL. After the NFL Draft concluded this past Saturday, they learned that they both would be getting a chance. Troy, whose name is plastered all over the Lehigh record books, was invited to minicamp with the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.   And Zach Duffy, the fiery leader of the Mountain Hawk offensive line, was invited to minicamp with the Indianapolis Colts. Lehigh Nation is thrilled that these two great Mountain Hawk football players will get their shot to play in the NFL.

Not headed to the the frozen tundra at Murray Goodman Stadium to catch the critical Holy Cross/Lehigh game? Why?  THIS IS IT, FOLKS.  This is one to catch in person. Yeah, I know it's going to be cold.  Yeah, I know that life is busy.  But it's a home game, it's win, and stay alive for a Patriot League Championship.  It's a big game; there's no doubt about it.  You need to be there for big games.  Future generations of your family are counting on you to say that "I was there on that freezing cold day at Murray Goodman". So after that sales pitch, you still can't make it, and still want to know how to you catch the game? Never fear.  LFN's here.

Today's "Know Your 2016 Opponents" series continues with the team that is predicted by College Sports Journal  to finish 3th in the Patriot League : Holy Cross. Scared of the Purple People eaters this year?  I am. They're a veteran-laden offense, with a four year letterman at quarterback, hosting Lehigh this year at their home in "Woostah".  Defensively, conventional football scholarships have the Crusaders with a quickly built defense that got better as the season went along. They're a team that hasn't made the jump - yet - but could, playing Lehigh at home, poach the Mountain Hawks. It's a game I have circled on the calendar.
