Going into last weekend, most people thought that Holy Cross might pose a problem for the Mountain Hawks defensively. The Crusader defense had shut out two opponents, contributing to wins over Lafayette two weeks ago, 42-0, and a CAA team, Albany, 37-0. How would Lehigh's offensive line do against Holy Cross' defensive front? Once the dust had settled on Saturday, the answer was: "just fine, thanks for asking." The Mountain Hawks did an awful lot of things right on offense last week, jumping out to a 41-10 halftime lead, carving out 543 offensive yards and executing 83 offensive plays. But the foundation for that offensive explosion came from a vastly improved performance on the offensive line.
