#22/25 Richmond

Back-to-back PL champs 2016 and 2017.... but need to get back to relevance in the national FCS scene.

Answer - about three minutes of game time.

Richmond 28 Lehigh 3 at Half

Richmond 296 yards to Lehigh's 96

Not much of a surprise. Lehigh looks inept on both sides of the ball....

Poor 3rd down efficiency....can't sustain a drive....you leave your D on the field too long and it gets punished.

We give up 28 points in a quarter? So much for Gilmore’s famed defensive genius.

Brisson has to be the first to go, as in now. Lehigh's offensive production since November 2019 is historically awful. Worse than some of those Georgetown offenses! Snyder, Garcia, Hill, Allen and the WR's are more than capable skill players! The coaching has to provide them with the ability to succeed. Beesmer looked a little better than Wilkinson (who looks completely overmatched) at QB. Even so, far from good enough...

The defense is just weak up the middle and gets beat over the top. Richmond missed on several big play opportunities.

Richmond took mercy on Lehigh in the second half. This game easily could have been 45-3, 52-3. I honestly don't see the Spiders ending up much better than 6-5. Princeton up next. The Tigers will be more explosive than Richmond.

Also, brutal day for the PL. Holy Cross getting run out of Fitton by Merrimack is beyond shocking. The Crusaders were a 28 point favorite? Perhaps, Lafayette and Fordham can salvage some pride. I picked Lafayette...uh oh....

Agree

We have had no Offense since 2019?? Joe Sterret has to wake up and smell the coffee

Who does the hiring and firing Owl? If it's up to Gilmore he will give Brisson a contract extension smh

I have stated repeatedly that the OC is the problem, not the oft blamed OL. That said, Lehigh established a run game with a true read QB in the game. That opened up the inside and suddenly the RBs had some creases. If the OC can build on that run game with the quick pass game, maybe there is more success on O.

Positives…I think the D can play when the O holds the ball and gives them a rest. First downs and time of possession were solid in 2H. D is undersized and cannot be on the field as long as they were in 1H.

Beesmer clearly a good runner (67 yards today) and had some success throwing the ball vs Lafayette in 2019. He can be a solid dual threat that Lehigh has not had since Shaf. Owl isn’t far off but I wouldn’t judge QB on the first 10 throws since 2019 inn 28-3 game.

All this said. The problem is not a mystery.

I didn't see the game today nor was I able to follow so based strictly on stats I have no reason to debate anything said.
One really bad quarter where Richmond scored virtually all their points.

Of note Holy Cross had a similar game it appears losing to Merrimak by 14 points where their opponent went off in the 2nd quarter and then played even after that.

As I write Yale is beating Bucknell 52-0 in the 3rd quarter. Anyone know how the Bison faithful are reacting to Cecchini?

UConn, the FBS team that Holy Cross defeated last week Has now been outscored 94-0 in their other 2 games.

This is going to be a strange season. The Patriot League is atrocious and probably still up for grabs. September 25 will be telling.
