Highlight reels can be very misleading. I'm not saying, dear reader, that Lehigh's 35-14 win over Columbia was bad.  Not at all.  The Mountain Hawks went to 6-0 this afternoon at Murray Goodman Stadium, in front of a pacing break crowd of a little over 5,000 fans. But if you simply judged this game by looking at the highlights, you wouldn't get an accurate impression of how this game unfolded.

Had you asked Columbia fans back in December whom they wanted that coach to be, the overwhelming fan favorite - according to the folks at Roar Lions , the Columbia fan community - was Holy Cross' Tom Gilmore , a face that Lehigh fans know very, very well. Columbia athletic director Diane Murphy , however, had other ideas, ultimately deciding on Pete Mangurian , a former head coach at Cornell as well as an assistant coach with Bill Belichick and Raheem Morris . It will be interesting to see what Mangurian does when he takes his Lions, who finished 1-9 last year, to Lehigh.
