Lehigh first and goal: Turnover!

[Digby]

In their sixth game, after 318 minutes, Lehigh had the ball, 1st and goal.
Fumble. Penn got it.
Go Gilmore!

[Digby]

330 minutes without a TD. Second half about to start.
Penn 0 - Lehigh 0. Not a classic contest.
Believe in Gilmore!

[UNHWildcat18]

Lehigh from PL league champions almost every year to the actual worst team in the FCS. This team couldn’t go .500 in the pioneer league, and that’s not saying much.

[Digby]

This is one of the worst games I’ve ever watched. Penn almost got a safety just now. 2-0 would be a fitting final score.

[DFW HOYA]

In ye olden days, a 0-0 score was the result of muddy conditions, snow, or gloom of night. Not today.

[Digby]

Penn 3 - Lehigh 0 after three quarters.
That’s five hours and 45 minutes — 345 minutes - without a 2021 TD. No return or pick-6 or goofy play.
It’s hard to describe what is happening at Franklin Field.
It’s downright unnatural.

[DFW HOYA]

Lehigh ends the third quarter with -22 yards in the period.

Penn will get the ball back with 7:30 left in the game.
Gilmore’s six pack is within reach.
I for one think he can do it.

[Digby]

Penn 13 - 0 with 4:32 left. Lehigh can’t win, that was not the issue, but can they score a TD?

[Digby]

Just three minutes left to the Big Six.
Today, we are seeing the apex of the Gilmore Game.
Behold!

Dammit, Penn scored again. They could have held the ball.
Lehigh will get the ball with 2:13 left.

GILMORE HAS DONE IT!
Penn 20 - Lehigh 0.
Six games, 360 minutes without a TD.
Gilmore!
He’s not the best at what he does.
He’s the only one who does, what he does.

***Un-Corrected. Next week, Fordham.

Too much beer.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

The shutout is complete! And Penn covered!

Lehigh has gone 5 straight games without a TD!

Quakers 20-0 Final

[crusader11]

It's actually six straight games.

9 points in six games.

Quite the feat.

[Digby]

“Inconceivable!”

There are no excuses for this game. The O, other than a few plays, was atrocious. OL was nonexistent today. Our QBs had no time. RBs had no holes. Ugh.

Do fans suspect a change? Now it’s not as if there is an obvious choice on the staff but how long can this go on?

Meanwhile... it begs the question...

Which other FCS team is as inept as Lehigh is? xchinscratchx

Lehigh pays homage to mid-1980s Columbia.

[Digby]

The schools below Lehigh in Sagarin ratings all lost today but Presbyterian was respectable so the Brown and White can fall a little.

[Leopard Loyalist]

Lehigh is executing with perfection the most devious strategy imaginable to make Lafayette over-confident going into #157 on 11/20.

Lehigh has even fooled its own fans.
13 straight losses?
Emperor Palpatine Gilmore: “It is all just as I planned.”

[Digby]

Lehigh has actually moved up, to No. 250, in Sagarin ratings. Basically ahead of the Pioneer League.
I give all the credit to the coaching staff.

Holy Cross 178
Fordham 182
Lafayette 202
Colgate 236
Georgetown 238
Bucknell 245

Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Iowa are the top 5.
