Will Lehigh upset the CAA champs?

Will the Towson dream end?

Will Andy survive (or go to a game)

Towson by 17.

Nailbiter.

Towson better not lose to a friggin Patriot League team or Andy will never hear the end of it.

Towson by 10+, IMO.

Don't see Lehigh stopping Terrance West, and frankly, I don't know if anyone is stopping Terrance West. Towson was easily the best team in the CAA this year and the best team in the CAA shouldn't lose to Lehigh.

Why not? The best team in the MVFC did last year....

Lehigh won't completely stop West, but they will limit him to under 120 yards rushing, as the Lehigh rush defense is one of their strengths, ranked 7th in the FCS...

Lehigh will pass for over 400 yards on the weak Towson passing defense

Lehigh by 2 Td's, at least

Could you remind me how Lehigh did this season against ranked teams?

sure, no problem

Lehigh beat a ranked Liberty team

and

Lehigh lost in OT, on a bad call by a ref, to UNH

now

can you tell us how bad is Towson's pass defense?

let me help you:

Towson's terrible pass defense is ranked #74 in the FCS

Well now that T_F is FINALLY here, I'll make my prediction

Towson by 24 if the Tigers play badly


...49 with an average performance



...and 82 with a good one.


But I'm feeling lucky this week, so I say we win by 154

That doesn't mean squat- look who Lehigh has played outside of UNH and Liberty...

So 1-1 with excuses... let me rephrase, how many playoff teams has Lehigh beaten? The level of competition Lehigh faced cant even stack up to the level of competition in the CAA. Towson played 7 ranked teams, losing to just one by 5 with their worse FCS performance all year(see what I did there). Liberty was top 25 in some polls and not in others.

Lehigh fans need to take a chill pill and realize your numbers dont mean much when your competition is a total joke with just one rep from the Patriot league. Towson had a top scoring defense in the country after the first three games allowing just 10 points a game until they started playing a brutal CAA schedule with six top 21 teams including two ranked 7th. Lehigh gave up 48 points against UNH... so dont think you will just shut down the Towson team.

ha!...when you say that Lehigh gave up 48 points IN OVERTIME to UNH, why don't you tell us how many points Towson gave up to UNH DURING REGULATION TIME?....42 POINTS...yep, your great Towson defense allowed more points in reguation time to UNH than did Lehigh...

now, why dont you tell us who lost more games to teams that did not make the playoffs?

Lehigh lost 0 games to teams that did not make the playoffs

Towson lost 1 game to a team that didn't make the playoffs

oops

I will take Lehigh and the points....probably will still lose though.

Because Duqseuensqe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Delaware

Wait, I mean Bucknell. F#ck, NEC, PL, same thing

Hard to lose when you play so many stat boosting unranked teams, uh oh. Towson scored more on UNH and on Colgate (other common opponent). Additionally, Towson allowed Colgate to score less than Lehigh did with Colgate. Towson has played three times as many playoff teams and beaten all three. Lehigh played one and LOST. How many unranked FCS teams did Lehigh play??? Towson played 3... Lehigh played 10

Your schedule hasnt prepared you for the playoffs at all. Towson's has. Stop living in denial... saturday will be a rough day for Lehigh fans.

TWest will go into beast mode this Saturday and represent the CAA well.

Nice post Andy.

Got a TU-LU smackfest going on here...

ha!

interesting that you would bring up the Colgate game

Lehigh's starters were taken out after the 3rd qtr in that game, however lets compare the yards and scores anyway, since you are claiming that Towson had such an overpowering game against Colgate compared to Lehigh's game against Colgate:


Points Scored against Colgate
45 - Lehigh
42 - Towson

Total Offense against Colgate
494 yards - Lehigh
430 yards - Towson

Total Offensive yards allowed against Colgate
310 yards - Lehigh
345 yards - Towson


and remember, this is with Lehigh's first string taken out at the end of the 3rd quarter

Let me help you a little here

Losses vs. Non-playoff teams
0 - Lehigh
1 - Towson

Look at the game, Colgate got 14 points at the end when the back ups are on and the offensive isnt trying to run up the score. Lets look at the scores by quarter

Lehigh vs Colgate
1st 7-3 Lehigh
2nd 21-12 Lehigh
3rd 31-18 Lehigh
4th 45-25 Lehigh

Towson vs Colgate
1st 3-0 Colgate
2nd 14-3 Towson
3rd 35-3 Towson
4th 42-17 Towson

By your own admission (taking people out in the 3rd) your first group only scored 31 points while giving up 18 compared to Towson scoring 31 by that point and only giving up 3. If anything Towson put the backups before Lehigh did so once again get of your high horse and face reality. Peter Athens(back up QB for Towson) engineered that last drive.

What makes your claims even worse is that Lehigh had its starting QB in til the end of the game including those last two scores of the game...

Let's put it this way: what do you suppose Lehigh's record would be if they played the exact same schedule as Towson?

wow, thanks for the info

now

when you claimed that Towson scored more points on Colgate than did Lehigh, which is complete and total lie, what exactly did you mean?
