Two straight games? Perhaps that deserves a trophy of its own.

It's like the basketball schedule with back to back games - easy to say 'first time in collegiate football history at any level' ?

If this game is played I applaud HC, Lehigh, and the oft-maligned PL office for thinking logically and getting this arranged

I think any snow will have melted by game time on Saturday
Friday. A chance of snow, mainly before 7am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 35. North wind 14 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Friday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 22. North wind around 7 mph.
Saturday Sunny, with a high near 50. West wind 3 to 6 mph.

From the Lehigh history book: Saturday's game will mark the first time Lehigh will face the same opponent in consecutive games since 1894 when Lehigh and Lafayette played a home-and-home series over a 10 day span.

Okay with me rain tonight & tomorrow... sunny Saturday...wonder about the Fitton turf We’re playing football, not tennis... An inch or two of snow should not even be a consideration. Is Fitton a garden or a football field?

I suspect they’ll throw the ball more than they did last week. They were tres conservative but had some success with completions and PI penalties on the few occasions when they looked downfield.

I would expect to see our downfield pass defense tested. I would also expect to see more pressure on the Lehigh QB with HC blitzing.
Twice I saw HC players rushing the kicker on punts and then seem to hold back. In one case there was a clear shot at the punt, but he held back. Was that done on pupose for some reason?

Probably didn't want to risk a roughing the kicker penalty which is an automatic 1st down. My prediction: Holy Cross thumps the Engineers this week. 27-10 Between TG and Chez making game-plan adjustments, I'm going with Chesney.

Someone just posted on Lehigh's board that they've had a positive test and the game is off.

Might be time to simply pull the plug now. This is becoming comical.

Hold on until it's at least official. Some here had a Harvard coach fired/resigned/retired two days ago. Turned out to be nothing.

As mentioned previously, what Clemson does in football has very little to do with what the PL does in football.
