Gtown has not been good, but they are 4-1 in the PL, 5-5 overall, with recent wins over HC Even if we beat them, they still will be tied with us for second

Our D held Fordham to a net 22 yards rushing on 31 attempts. That would have to be the best in some time.

Freezing Cold Long game!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But a good one because the CRUSADERS won!
Had a good view of the Hail Mary pass in the end zone. Was nervous it was going to get caught by 3 he had caught some other passes and was started to pick up a lot of YAC yards.
Home win streak up to two! Go Crusaders

If a tie exists, the higher seed will go to the team that won the most head-to-head League contest(s) played against the other team(s) involved in the tie." If HC beats Georgetown (and after today that may not be a given by any means), we would still have won the head-to-head matchup with them and finish second. No?

Does seed equal what place you are in when there is no need for seeding when a team is not going to the playoffs ?

I believe it does. But that is just my opinion. My hope is that HC finishes 2nd...I don't care much who else joins us there.

Play-calling in the first quarter was atrocious. It was if HC was playing into the wind, not with the wind. And the initial series were so scripted and predictable. Just poor game management. The first quarter was squandered and left Fordham thinking, at half, that they could win the game. And when its 4th down and an inch, I guess HC doesn't have a play where the QB gets under center and has Alexander and Oliver in the backfield. To attempt to go for the first down and not punt the ball makes little sense with so little time and deep in our own territory See FHCTG Lafayette 2017

FoCF game balls Derek Mountain, Corey Stefanik, Ryan Brady, Joe Lang, and Derek Ng.
IMO, Corey's blocked punt in the 3rd quarter was the play of the game.
I think the Fordham FG may have been good from 65. That ball looked like it was shot out of a cannon.
Our offensive play calling remains a mystery to me. Time and again Fordham had 8 men in the box and we ran into the line or east west. That said, I have seen games like these end up as Ls far too often so a HUGE W and a great sign that the team can find a way to win under challenging circumstances. For those not in attendance, the wind and temps made for bone chilling type setting. I stood throughout the second half because the chill of the Fitton metal seats was none too pleasant.

Geoff Wade leads the Patriot League with 15 TD passes without playing in the first game and playing little against BC.

To attempt to go for the first down and not punt the ball makes little sense with so little time and deep in our own territory See FHCTG Lafayette 2017 I am not saying that HC should have gone for it, but HC was trying to lure an offside. What did that attempt consist of? Wade running up to the line as if he were going to take a short snap, then backpedaling to his starting point. Who is going to bite on that? If he were under center, with two backs in the backfield, and used a hard count, that might have enticed a Fordham lineman to jump. Has HC used a two back set in any game this year? In a post game interview, Chesney said, in effect, he wasn't happy with the play-calling in the first half. ____ One more point about the first quarter. HC won the toss, and deferred, meaning it would play with the wind in the first and third quarters. With the favorable wind, one would think HC's offense would come out like gangbusters. Just the opposite.

I was born and raised in the Bronx about five miles or so north of Fordham U. The Bronx is a borough of informal sections...some quite good (Riverdale) and some distressingly bad (Mott Haven). Most (including my own Wakefield/Woodlawn section) are somewhere in between. As noted, Fordham's Rose Hill campus is physically decent and is located adjacent to important venues like the zoo and botanical gardens. That being said, there's really not much in the Fordham Road/Grand Concourse area that would interest a college student. Which is no doubt why you see students piling onto the train at the MetroNorth Fordham station to head down to Manhattan on the weekend! Great post, I'm from Woodlawn too. Had many high school friends from Riverdale and Morris Park. Arthur Ave > Little Italy 8 days a week. Im sure you got the chance to ride the 3rd Avenue El growing up.

nht,
Sarcasm noted. This HC team is playing better as a team than it was at the start of the season. Wade's game has improved and certainly is better than what we were getting from Clifford early in the season. There are some who think he has no talent and make fun of his stats. I am sure they found your comment quite entertaining. However, like it or not, he is the best we have right now and deserves support as HC's starting QB...at least from HC fans.

Before you dominate, you have to learn how to win. This team is learning. The future is bright.

I feel embarrassed for the PL officials. They don’t mean to stink; they just do. As I stated before the season, scheduling Colgate in week 1 was idiotic. I had zero doubt this would come back to bite us in the ass later on. Can we please never do that again? Agree that if we need to encourage a rivalry, it should obviously be Fordham. Final game every year. Could be wrong, but don’t think we — or Colgate — could do anything about the timing of that game. That comes from the league office. Truth be told, I’m not sure we’d want to play Colgate now. They’re running over teams left and right. Statistics wise, there’s an argument to be made that they just completed the most dominant PL season in league history. I believe HC and Colgate were scheduled to play later in the season originally, but both agreed to move the game up to Sept. 1. League will allow if the schools agree.

Know it was before your time, but I will take the 87 or 91 Duffner teams ahead of Colgate
