Lafayette @ New Hampshire

[Mvemjsunpx]

Seems like a mismatch on paper, but I'm not sure it really is. Both teams have played better of late, but Lafayette is doing so for one specific reason: QB Drew Reed. The true freshman became the guy part way through the Harvard game and has a 196.9 efficiency rating on the season. UNH is still the better team, but they could be caught napping if they're not careful.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- Lafayette
      
      Running Backs - New Hampshire
      
      Receivers/TEs - New Hampshire
      
      Offensive Line - New Hampshire
      
      
      Defensive Line - New Hampshire
      
      Linebackers --- New Hampshire
      
      Secondary ---- (push)
      
      
      Kicking ------ (push)
      
      Punting ------ New Hampshire
      
      Return Teams - Lafayette
      
      Kickoffs ------ New Hampshire
      
      
      
      
      
      • Lafayette 24-38 New Hampshire

UNH @ UNH is like playing a top 10 team. Can't see Lafayette winning here even with the improved play.

Congrats to UNH. It's always nice to start the playoffs with a Patriot League scrimmage.
