Season is not over. Fordham, Lafayette and Georgetown all will have something to say. We could conceivably lose two out of three if we take a step back in our development or the ball bounces the wrong way. But we are looking awful good for the title.

Good win against an up and coming team. Notice in the post game interview, Chesney shook his head negative when said we have sole possession of first place. We still don't have this wrapped up yet unless we win out as Lehigh might do just that. Lose one, we probably get the tie breaker. Lose two and we may be on the outside looking in. Gotta take em all.
We had just enough in the end to win. Hopefully the remaining games will be easier.

Before anyone gets too giddy -- Lehigh's two remaining PL games are against Bucknell and Lafayette, and Lehigh should be favored to win both games.
HC has three remaining games -- Lafayette, Fordham, and Georgetown. HC has the tiebreaker over Lehigh, but we need to win at least two of the final three games to win the PL.
The best option would be to win all three.

It's amazing that we won the game with Degenhardt completing 10-22 for 122 yards and 2 INTS. Cozier made some great plays and found the openings.

Offensive line and Cozier were dominant today.
We needed to get the ball in the hands of our other two playmakers more (Ayeni and Asante) and we didn’t.

Holy Cross is in the driver's seat. no doubt, but must play great football the rest of the way as others have noted above
Georgetown? I don't think so--Hoyas have declined significantly including just losing at home to Colgate
Lehigh--only one loss and an easier schedule remaining than HC-- If HC falters badly Lehigh can take this
Fordham--loss to Lafayette a killer but not technically out of it
Lafayette-- 2-1 in the PL but I don't think the team is very good. Its hopes will be dashed next week

I see Lafayette as a good offense in search of a defense.

My math tells me that we need to win any two of the last three games. I could be wrong.

Nice win but we certainly weren’t dominant- Degenhardt came into the game with a 51.9 completion pct and after a 10 for 22 game he’s basically a 50 pct passer - that usually does not work for a 1st string qb - he has to get better That being said I’ll confess that his running today was big, esp that 3rd down scamper on our last drive - that took another 2 minutes off the clock which turned out to be huge

No need for the hostility....it just is what it is to be a lifelong HC fan....you'll hopefully live a long life and see for yourself. Great prediction old timer. Zip it.

Why the need for someone to talk about “old timers” just because you disagree with someone? Lack of class. Must be nice to know you’ll never age and be the next old timer.

Most of FCS OOC opponents had solid days:
UNH beat Nova 28-20 Yale blew out Columbia Harvard nearly beat Dartmouth...heard it was a miracle finish for the Indians Brown lost 38-36 at Penn

Why go long there for Lehigh ? up for grabs Terrible decision by the Lehigh QB. Down the middle of the field with three HC defenders converging.

Terrell Prince and Jake Dobbs led in tackles with 8 each. Has to be a first for Terrell, who also forced a fumble, helmet on ball. He is the soph back up free safety to Chris R.

Future potential of this group is very bright- unfortunately potential can be a curse With that said if we take care of business this year we are looking at a muti year run

It's a crazy league...2-7 Lafayette can rise from the ashes and take control of the PL with a win at Fitton next week.

Would add that missing Lang was in part a reason for giving up a ton of those Short to intermediate passes. We tried to keep it in front of us and not so sure Lang’s style would have given those up
Missing Gilliam also was less than positive more on special teams but we have Significant depth at the WR position
How badly was Forrest injured last week?
