Here’s hoping that Laffy will exhale after beating nationally ranked HC and the Hoyas upset them. Don’t think it will happen, but one can hope!🤞🙏🏻😊

Here's hoping Laffy loses to both GU and then Lehigh and the GU-HC final showdown is for all the marbles. KY, figure the odds of that happening for me!

Georgetown (more desire and hope, than actual Colgate Holy Cross (will be tough game the way our defense is playing; loss here makes season a bust, but I believe HCBC lead us to victory) If Matt gets another 330 rushing yards we win .

That would certainly eat some clock and keep Montes off the field!

A handful of Fordham supporters this week, trying to understand what i am missing in the match-up on Saturday I’m guessing it’s pretty straightforward per my comments below from the other thread. If Curt HL can’t go, you are looking at being out 3/4 preseason starters in the secondary (Haskins, Jarmo, Wood, Harris-Lopez) and top reserve (Eli). 5 DBs out v a high powered offense. “How did the D get here: It’s helpful to take a step back to remember. Some have mentioned recruiting holes that happen on every team. I only count 3 non Freshman players that were expected to be starters or the top reserve at their respective positions and haven’t been…from some mix of underperformance and repeated injuries. (2 DL and 1 Safety) So Preseason, we bring in a Junior - John Wood - starter from SHU to compete/provide depth as an overhang safety and likely start at Nickel S in Dime packages. He goes down to a season ending injury in the Spring. Junior DT - Josh Williams (played ~30% of NG snaps last year) no longer with the team come late spring for personal issues. DE Osa Nowura forced to take year off. A reminder to not take Chem, Bio and Calculus in the same semester as a Frosh when assimilating to college ball time management. Hopefully he’s back in 2024 as he’s physically different. 5th year safety/nickel Kam Molton just hasn’t been able to recover fully from the leg fracture suffered late against G’Town last year. He can play some STs but the time table was too quick a turnaround for the strength needed to play DB. So now your down a total of 7 key D players for various reasons. FS Jarmo (who had put on 15 lbs of muscle in the off-season and looked great first 2 games) goes down v Yale. While Haskins wasn’t having the same production this season, he’s still way different than the rest of the roster from a talent, experience and upside potential stand point. Injured v Colgate, misses Harvard game and then more serious injury v Bucknell. So now you’re down 9. Junior S Curtis Harris Lopez (now 10) comes up lame with what looks like a hamstring pull with 13 min left to go in the 3rd quarter. I look across the D-backfield and now it’s 4 freshman and T Spence. Then one of those Frosh (Eli) goes down with a shoulder injury in the 4th quarter. One last note about the end of the game. Spence was absolutely right to get in that kid’s face that started dancing on the midfield logo and then tearing into it with his cleats while another joined in. Several of us played with a few guys that would have punched that kid in his throat. Spence actually showed restraint IMO. I’m guessing that video will be aired during Laffy week many times in 2024. As for Fordham, I’m guessing we have to score in the 40’s to win this one. Some TO’s would be huge. These kids won’t quit. Bet on that. The football gods gave us tremendous fortune last few years (sans Dobbs injury in 2022), maybe they will take a break on collecting this year. Geez.”

Agree we need the 40s but not sure that is an issue against their D
Turnovers will be interesting for each side

A handful of Fordham supporters this week, trying to understand what i am missing in the match-up on Saturday A sunny, 80 degree sold out fan fest? With the PL title and autobid not under either team's current control but with both still in contention? With hardware, the Ram/Crusader Cup at stake? With outside shots at an at large berth dancing in the heads of optimistic fans of both teams? With a New York sized chip on the shoulders of the Rams after five years of forced submission? With a new rug on the field after the 2021 slip and slide game and no lightning delays anticipated? A match up between an up and coming passing QB and a guy who just rushed for the most yards ever by a QB in the history of D-1 Football? A chance to see Sluka play before he slukes and jukes into legend category with the likes of Bullet Bill, Gil the Thrill and Gordie? With all seven Blocks of Granite looking down from Football heaven? What's not to get about this game?

It’ll take at LEAST 7 wins to make up for that Yankee Stadium debacle. And don’t forget, that was a “home” game for us!🤬

Agree we need the 40s but not sure that is an issue against their D Turnovers will be interesting for each side Rams Defense has been up and down this year, but overall better than last. Conway is good as is DE #34. 2 of their DBs will likely be all PL this year as well.
