Lehigh at New Hampshire

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Only 1,000 pages to go until we catch Bogie's thread! xdrunkyx

More seriously, he're my game preview:

Breakdown and prediction coming up later today.

[Lehigh'98]

The key to this game will be the 1st qtr. The longer Lehigh makes a game of it, the more confidence they will gain. If its 28-0 before you can blink (thanks for representing the PL in the playoff Laf) well, we know how that will end.

I see what you're doing here.

[Sader87]

Interestingly, the iconic Lafayette-UNH thread was started by Cocky of Jacksonville St....I nevah would have thought that until I just checked.

As for this game....pain for the Engineers in Durham.

I see what you're doing here.

[Mattymc727]

Yeah I mentioned it on the UNH board, too many things working in UNH's favor. If UNH had beaten Toledo, Lehigh may be able to sneak in a win, but that's not the case. UNH is hungry for a win, had two weeks off, is at home, and lets face it, they have more talent too. There's also a revenge factor for last year, which every player mentioned this week in interviews.

Lehigh always gives a good fight, but I see it being UNH 38-17 or something around that.

I don't want to slight Lehigh but it will sound like it: if UNH doesn't win decisively, they aren't a top ten team right now.

[Mattymc727]

And we have lights in Durham...

Did you not learn ANYTHING from your Georgetown pick? Fearless does not necessarily mean reckless... keep consulting those cave paintings and animal entrails for your picks.. xdrunkyx

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Lehigh matches up pretty well with UNH. Both teams are built a lot alike. The odds say Lehigh won't beat a darn good UNH twice in a row. With that said, if this isn't a game late in the 3rd I'll be a bit surprised. I gave Lehigh a 10% shot to win this one before the year started. Based on each teams first game I'll give Lehigh a 33.3% chance....

They were not a top ten team last season at this point, but what a difference 7-8 weeks makes. Lehigh hopes to get better and peak in November like you guys did last season. UNH should win by 20, xpeacex

xeyebrowx

Shaf can't throw. And it is doubtful UNH will run the same play over and over like they did at Goodman last year. That was one of the worst offensively called games I've seen. Oh wait... one of the worst non-Lafayette offensively called games I've seen...

[CHIP72]

For whatever it is worth, the MeTV affiliate in DC did NOT carry last week's Fordham/Villanova game, even though the game was listed in the on-screen guide. (The Fordham/Villanova game was also televised on the American Sports Network.) I sent them a nasty note. Hopefully I won't be doing that again this week.

Incidentally, the Fordham/Villanova game, which featured a Patriot League team at a CAA team, WAS streamed via the Patriot League website. Why isn't Lehigh/New Hampshire being streamed?

[CHIP72]

Full broadcast information here:

RE: LFN's link above and this week's college football schedule - for people who pay attention to Division II football and the PSAC in particular, the Slippery Rock/East Stroudsburg game at 6 PM will be broadcast by PA Sports Fever (available on various TV stations within and near Pennsylvania) and available for streaming at ESPN3/WatchESPN. Somewhat ironically, PA Sports Fever is quite similar to the American Sports Network (though it has a Pennsylvania focus obviously) with the significant exception that PA Sports Fever broadcast games WILL be picked by ESPN for streaming.

[Bogus Megapardus]

"NESN.com will also livestream the New Hampshire-Lehigh game right here at 3:30 p.m."

Got the game on Retro TV. Service Electric Cable Channel 126-4!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

It says on NESN's website that the game will be streamed "right here" at 3:30. What does "right here" mean?

[dwtime]

anyone know where the live stream is on NESN?

[LUHawker]

I've got nothing on NESN.com that has the live stream. Will keep looking. Please post live link if found!

[RichH2]

Me too. No clue

[R3TRO]

Well, at least the unh website links you to the nesn page.

[dwtime]

Muffed the kick but Vailas goes for a 1st down, 1st and goal for the Cats.

Are you in the friendly confines of the Cowell Stadium press box/catacombs?

Are you in the friendly confines of the Cowell Stadium press box/catacombs?

UNH is in the process of fixing that, new stadium will be really nice in 2016.

[dwtime]

That was a beauty. paydirt!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

You're screwed when the DL can't stop the run or pressure the QB.....

[dwtime]

That was Spears with a 53 yrd TD pass from Goldrich

[RichH2]

UNH very good O, Feel for Lambert,he is getting caught up ,front 7 cannot stop runs again

[dwtime]

Sack! Lehigh has to punt

[Bogus Megapardus]

UNH is really well disciplined with their assignments on the defensive front. Very solid execution; quite impressive.

[RichH2]

Little doubt they are vastly better than JMU.

[Lehigh'98]

Lehigh's defensive line is maybe the worst I ever remember it being there.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Lehigh's defensive line is maybe the worst I ever remember it being there.

It's so small! There isn't a guy out there with a gut! That's not a good thing! Everyone looks the same size, too small....

[RichH2]

Ripanti moved back outside ,Kondas at 235 now at ILB.

[RichH2]

tall and lean for starters 6'4 255,245 240

[RichH2]

Same formula big plays killing us. Both Ss are up

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Shaf looks banged up, and the defense is going back on the field...

[dwtime]

UNH first down on the Lehigh 15

[Southsider]

Total domination. Difficult to watch. Missed takle after missed tackle..........

[RichH2]

Depressing to watch DL being blown out on every play

[dwtime]

RJ Harris takes the rock to the house 15 yd run.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That was pretty easy. #38 has no business playing DE. He can't sniff a push....

[dwtime]

UNH goes for 2 again and get it, 23 -0 UNH

[Southsider]

We need the Mercy Rule!

[Bogus Megapardus]

Wow. Lehigh really bit on that one.

[Southsider]

UNH goes for 2 again and get it, 23 -0 UNH

Not sure why???

[RichH2]

We didnot touch him, 23-0, D is being dominated. Front line outclassed and then it all dominoes as LBs and 2ndary try to cover, smh

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Depressing to watch DL being blown out on every play

How can you not switch a OL to DL? Most of these kids played both ways in HS. You simply don't have a chance with a DL this small. In 2006 Lehigh had a NG, #55 IIRC, that fought like heck but had no chance. That DL was undersized and rather poor but not this bad....

[Bogus Megapardus]

Now the Engineers are going to have to start throwing - and New Hampshire know it.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Not sure why???

Chip Kelly imported that to Oregon from UNH. It's a classic UNH move.

[Doc QB]

Stuck in am aortic dissection meeting in Chicago, relying on u guys for updates. Sounds very much like the beating 'Nova put on Fordham. UNH also making a statement on CAA power versus aspiring PL squads.

[RichH2]

a drive Yosha and Shaf. Drop by Knott on good pass

[dwtime]

Bad call by the refs that was a fumble.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That looks like a serious injury to Knott....he's cursed....

[RichH2]

and another drop on a strip by Knott,smh.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Stuck in am aortic dissection meeting in Chicago, relying on u guys for updates. Sounds very much like the beating 'Nova put on Fordham. UNH also making a statement on CAA power versus aspiring PL squads.

But can you perform an aortic dissection while watching the game on your tablet. That's the real question. xrolleyesx

Should have been a proctologist. You could then see exactly how far UNH has their foot up there.

[Bogus Megapardus]

You should be getting paid to tell jokes like that Bogey!

xlolx

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

UNH might have time for one more before half....

[Bogus Megapardus]

Says the guy who counts georgetown as a 'conference game' each season!

At least we can count.

You morons need a drill sergeant to do that for you.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Why throw it? Honestly? Just run it and force them to use their time outs....

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Yosha did not look happy on the sideline...If you ran student body left/student body right against Lehigh 50 times a game you'd never lose...their edge containment might be the worst I've ever seen....

[citdog]

At least we can count.

You morons need a drill sergeant to do that for you.

We only need to count to ONE!

[Bogus Megapardus]

citdog, it's gameday here. Please go watch your own conference, OK? We pick on one another in the PL, but we comment constructively when the game is in play. It's just the way we do things.

[RichH2]

After that 1/2 wouldn'nt you look unhappy

[dwtime]

Missed FG, Breda is not the answer at kicker. UNH has about three young kids that should be able to kick better than that.

[RichH2]

UNH 401 yds in the 1st half. Geez. Thought we could score and we have moved the ball but too many drops . Porous D leads to UNH being able to tee off on Shaf as LU forced to pass. UNH very good and LU playing poorly

rich, was that a typo, am i drunk, or did you really type 401? I cant get my phone to play game on NESN. Maybe thats a good thing...

[Bogus Megapardus]

Engineers, I think you're going to have to keep it simple up front in the second half. The elaborate stunts and pulls are not working and they're shedding you off. I'm thinking basic plays where the OL squares up straight on for the runs. On defense, if UNH is going to out-muscle you and push you to the side, I'd like to see the Lehigh LBs not be a part of the fallout from that. Maybe lay back just a tad and mind the gaps. it *might* limit the damage, I don't know . . .

[Southsider]

Let's not forget how many young guys LU has out there. Sometimes a good spanking early is what one needs to make you understand what it takes to win......at least I hope so.

[PAllen]

rich, was that a typo, am i drunk, or did you really type 401? I cant get my phone to play game on NESN. Maybe thats a good thing...

Although I wouldn't recommend it (unless you're a UNH fan who really likes blowouts), try youtube. That's where I'm watching the live NESN feed. As a Lehigh fan Doc, I'd recommend something more fun, like re-grouting your shower.

[RichH2]

Sorry doc UNH 401 LU 88

[Lehigh'98]

There's nothing positive to take out of this. Defense will probably need 2 yrs to sort out. Don't underestimate the role Cecchini played in all those wins. I know I'm being pessimistic and UNH is good, but we should be able to compete with them. We did better before schollies. Knocked off plenty of CAA teams.

[RichH2]

On point Bogie. Roberts still has them manning up rather than gapping and trying to use stunts and twists,Not too effective when OL pushes DL back ignoring all DL movement,

[Bogus Megapardus]

Nice job on that one! TD.

[RichH2]

YOSHA tell me again that he isn;t that good

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Yosha's quickness is impressive....

[Southsider]

NIce drive!

[RichH2]

Count 5 drops for LU WRs so far. Parris has to step up. He alligatoredthat last one to him

[dwtime]

Run D for UNH was terrible there, nice running by number 2 for Lehigh

[dwtime]

YOSHA tell me again that he isn;t that good

I live the next town over from Carmel Indiana and I've never heard of him.

[CHIP72]

Took a longer than expected afternoon nap; that appears to have been a good thing. Reading this thread was bad enough.

FWIW, the Lehigh/New Hampshire game is being televised in DC on the Live Well Network (WJLA Channel 7, subchannel 3).

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

This defense is truly horrific...my goodness...

[dwtime]

52 yard catch and run by Harris. UNH

[RichH2]

smh
another big play.35-7

[dwtime]

I live the next town over from Carmel Indiana and I've never heard of him.

And I agree I like the way he runs downhill.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Oh, geez, guys. You just got pushed out of the way there and the Harris kid goes straight in.

[Southsider]

This defense is truly horrific...my goodness...

Wonder if Coach Botts is sorry he took the job...........

[RichH2]

D is truly horrible.#13 for LU has been shrugged off twice and each was a TD. The guy cannot tackle

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I'm interested to see how many turnovers the D causes this year. When you put zero pressure on the opposing offense via run stopping or QB pressure mistakes rarely happen...

[Lehigh'98]

Wonder if Coach Botts is sorry he took the job...........

Gotta give him a couple yrs to right this ship. Just rearranging deck chairs on the titanic this yr.

[Bogus Megapardus]

D is truly horrible.

Not really - Lehigh saw that play coming all the way. They just couldn't cover and didn't shed the blocks on the RAC.

[Lehigh'98]

RJ Harris is a straight up stud too.

[Bogus Megapardus]

RJ Harris is a straight up stud too.

Yeah that too. xrolleyesx

[RichH2]

Parris again with a catchable pass.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Parrish's hands are very average. The guy drops way too many balls for a #1...

[RichH2]

Not really - Lehigh saw that play coming all the way. They just couldn't cover and didn't shed the blocks on the RAC.

Which equals horrible.

[dwtime]

Spears could play on Sundays

[Bogus Megapardus]

UNH doing well with that classic TE-up-the-seam play.

[dwtime]

Lehigh D just gave up on that one...... No Mas

[CHIP72]

Besides not being able to stop the run and not being able to stop the pass, Lehigh's defense is playing solid today.

[RichH2]

LU D looks like a chinese fire drill.

[Southsider]

Men against boys.......pathetic.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Oh, come on, guys! Now the secondary isn't even trying to go after RJ Harris.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Next to the HC game a few years ago this is the worst LU performance in the last 20 years. They've quit on defense....

[Bogus Megapardus]

Can Coen convince his guys to tough it up and keep playing? Come on, make a game of it.

[dwtime]

Spears could play on Sundays

I think Harris could play on Sundays as well he reminds of Victor Cruz when he was at UMass

[CHIP72]

For Citdog - just heard the announcers use the word "fanny" (in the human rear end context).

[Bogus Megapardus]

I'm concerned that the PL couldn't even play on Friday nights.

New Hampshire now OWNS both Lafayette and Lehigh. You have every right to laugh at our "Yankee Stadium" game. xsmhx

I'm in the minority in this thread, but hopefully Lafayette plays a lot better against Robert Morris than Lehigh is playing against New Hampshire.

Good to see Lehigh do something positive on defense (and before that, special teams) and convert on offense.

Shaf has played well again. If the WR's could catch his numbers would be much better. His hasn't made a bad decision....

[CHIP72]

Good to see the renderings for the rebuilt UNH stadium. It looks like it will be pretty nice.

[CHIP72]

Lehigh playing much better right now, but the deficit is probably too big for a complete comeback.

That was a catch.

No

McHale to Pelletier TD. Kid is good. Leigh very good also

[PAllen]

What did we learn? Lehigh's starters can compete with UNH's backups and we confirmed that Lehigh's WRs can't catch.

[Mattymc727]

UNH also had two turnovers that gave Lehigh the ball in the redzone twice, lead directly to 14 points. UNH was the much better team and pretty much gave up shortly after the half.

Also, that was one of the longest games I can remember....3 and a half hours.

Wanted to say for posterity that the Lehigh/UNH broadcast on NESN's online stream on YouTube got nearly 5,000 hits, which was the second-most watched item on NESN's YouTube list, outperforming Bruins and Red Sox features, and the Marshall/URI game. Not too shabby.
