That's what the 2-deep says and while we cannot take that to the bank, I've previously posted that one of the offensive players said Matt's injury was "minor" and he fully expected him to play against Lehigh. That was reinforced, IMO, by the video clip by Coach Chesney. No guarantees, just an implication. BC doesn't like to give anything away and I am sure he'd love for Lehigh to have to split their preparation for 2 different QBs.
As an aside, I like BC's take on the remainder of the season. Essentially, we can only control what we can control and not going to worry (or even think) about what other teams can/will/might do.

Actually, I think the points we put up might look good, but it might be more important to show progress defensively with turnovers and limit the points against 50-0? Lehigh’s D is better than their O. I don’t see us hitting 50. In my opinion, it will be a good day on offense if we can get close to our season average. I really don’t think folks have an appreciation for how ridiculous 42 points a game is.

Let's give them a heapin' helping of the same 57-0 that we served to Bucknell last fall. Alternatively, we could serve seconds on the 42-14 that we gave 'em last year at Fitton.

Lehigh vs Fordham was a three point game, HC vs Fordham was a two point game. Tomorrow's game could be a blowout or a barn burner. I'll be watching Sluka's first throws. If his passing is not harmed by his injury we should be in good shape. If Matt's throwing is an issue and HC unveils plays with both Sluka and Joe P. in the game together it will be a treat for us fans. After a lifetime in football, Chesney's creativity would be on full display and it would/will be fascinating.

Looks like it should be a nice day for for a game as I get ready to make my bi-annual trip to the Lehigh Valley. In contrast to the Bronx, parking is abundant and the ticket prices are far more reasonable. Go Cross Go!

True, but at least parking was surprisingly free on the Fordham campus

I really don’t think folks have an appreciation for how ridiculous 42 points a game is. With HC's defense, I'd actually be happier if HC held on to the ball longer and scored less (or, should I say, not as fast). At least, when HC is leading in the game, that's a better formula. Seems to be working for BC.

My first trip to Goodman, a bunch of us got some bad food and the drive back, was, shall we say, full of rest room stops. Then the next week, the same folks, sans yours truly; got stuck in a ice-related traffic jam in the Scranton area on the way back from Bucknell...they got back to The Woo around 5AM. At least, HC won both weeks.

One guys opinion but as banged up as this team is any win today is a good win. Lots of folks all week expect a blowout. Lehigh has played better last 3 weeks. Coming off a bye. Get the W, get home and get as healthy as possible for what might be essentially a playoff game at Army.

Midwest...It sounds like you and I feel the same way. I would love a blowout by HC and that could happen - but I fear Lehigh will either (1) take an early lead or (2) stay close throughout the game. In either case, it may take a very late score to pull this out. I am getting to dialike having to wait for those lifesaving plays. They are exciting but very frightening at the same time.
