The last home- opening win was Sept.15, 2012 after picking off Penn seven times. LAST GAME: Lafayette’s offense couldn’t match the defensive execution as reigning NEC champ Sacred Heart dealt the reigning Patriot League champion a 27-14 loss. The defense held Sacred Heart’s all-time leading rusher Keshaudas Spence to 81 yards on the ground thanks in large part to 12 tackles for loss by 13 players. Offensively, Lafayette mustered just 229 yards of total offense (98 rushing and 131 passing). Trailing 20-14, the defense appeared to have put the Leopards in a position for a final rally in the fourth quarter. Lafayette had the Pioneers 3rd-and-13 at the SHU 42 with 1:50 left in the game, looking to force a punt. SHU quarterback R.J. Noel uncorked a 57-yard pass to Jackson King to the Leopard one-yard line. Noel punched in the game-securing TD on the next play to finish with 49 rushing yards and two TD’s. LAST SEASON: The 2013 season was a championship-clinching endeavor for the Leopards who shed a 1-5 start to win four of their last five regular-season games and finish 4-1 in conference play. Lafayette captured its seventh Patriot League title and advanced to the NCAA FCS Playoffs for the fourth time in program history. ROSS’ RUNBACK: Senior Ross Scheuerman made the most of his one kick return opportunity, taking Sacred Heart’s first opportunity 90 yards to the endzone for a score. It was the second kick return for TD in his career and the longest of his career, surpassing a 78-yard effort vs. Colgate on Nov. 15, 2011. That was Scheuerman’s final opportunity as 2013 All-Patriot League return specialist Matt Smalley and Brian Keller each took a pair of short kicks on subsequent chances. BAD THINGS IN TWO’s?: Two weather delays weren’t the only thing that marred the Sacred Heart game. The Leopards lost their top two tailbacks to injury. Senior TB Ross Scheuerman exited the game early in the third quarter after four straight plays on which he touched the ball. When he left following a hip pointer, sophomore Kyle Mayfield came in and churned out 42 yards on eight carries before leaving with his own ankle injury.

Quick Facts

MATCH-UP: The Leopards look to bounce back from a season-opening loss at Sacred Heart when they host another Northeastern Conference foe, Robert Morris (0-2), on Saturday at 6 p.m. It is the second meeting in three seasons against the western Pennsylvania school, a program picked to finish third in the NEC preseason poll. The Colonials are coming off a 16-13 loss to North Dakota (not that one) in week two.

HOME OPENERS: Lafayette is 87-42-3 all-time in home openers. The last home-opening win was Sept.15, 2012 after picking off Penn seven times.

LAST GAME: Lafayette’s offense couldn’t match the defensive execution as reigning NEC champ Sacred Heart dealt the reigning Patriot League champion a 27-14 loss. The defense held Sacred Heart’s all-time leading rusher Keshaudas Spence to 81 yards on the ground thanks in large part to 12 tackles for loss by 13 players.

2014 National Polls

THE HEAD COACH: Frank Tavani is in his 15th season as head coach and 28th on the Lafayette coaching staff. Tavani has the second most coaching wins in Lafayette history and owns four Patriot League titles. It is his second season in the endowed coaching position of Fred M. Kirby II ’42 Head Football Coach established the summer of 2013 by the F.M. Kirby Foundation. Tavani showed his coaching acumen in 2013, guiding a team picked fourth in the Patriot League Preseason Poll to a championship season, despite a 1-5 start to the campaign. In his time as the head man, Tavani has transformed Lafayette into a consistent championship contender. From 2004 through 2009, Lafayette spent time in the Top 25 each season and was the only Patriot League program to boast a winning record in every regular season during that span. During that run, Lafayette boasted a 26-10 Patriot League record. Lafayette won three consecutive Patriot League championships from 2004 to 2006 and finished a game out of the title hunt in 2009. In that 2009 season, Lafayette was 8-3 with two losses to Top 25 opponents while holding a 4-0 record vs. Ivy League foes for the first time in program history. In the midst of the ’04-’06 championship run, the Leopards made the first three postseason appearances in school history, laying claim to the Patriot League’s automatic NCAA bid in 2004 and 2006, while earning the program’s first at-large berth in 2005. Tavani has been a part of seven Patriot League titles, helping guide the Leopards to crowns as an assistant coach in 1988, 1992 and 1994, to go with the four championships he racked up as the head man. His teams are achieving in the classroom. Lafayette has boasted 29 academic all-district selections under Tavani and a total of 44 players have earned the distinction since 1995. Tavani has also coached five Patriot League Football Scholar-Athletes of the Year (Mark Ross-2013, Brad Maurer-2006, Maurice Bennett-2005, Stephen Bono-2004, Stewart Kupfer-2001). In 2013, the Lafayette football program had the highest academic progress rate (APR) in the NCAA FCS Playoffs and had the fourth-best graduation success rate (GSR) in the NCAA. Tavani became Lafayette’s 27th head coach on Dec. 11, 1999 after having served as the Leopards’ running backs coach for 13 seasons. His charge upon taking the job was to restore the Lafayette program to glory. As an undergraduate at Lebanon Valley, Tavani was an outstanding running back, earning the team’s MVP honors twice in his career. As a senior, he became the school’s first player to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a single season. An Associated Press All-American as a senior, he was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in the fall of 1988. Tavani was inducted

Most importantly, he allowed just 19 returns and landed 12 punts inside the 20. In the opener, Forrester punted 10 times, landing four inside the 20-yard line.

The Last Meeting

Robert Morris 31, Lafayette 28 MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (9/29/12) - Robert Morris dealt Lafayette its first loss of the year, running up 28 first-half points en route to a 31-28 final. Lafayette erased a 21-point halftime deficit and tied the game in the fourth quarter before Robert Morris’ field goal with 19 ticks left. Mark Ross, had a career day with 13 catches for 151 yards and two touchdowns. The Aliquippa, Pa. native, who was playing in front of a host of hometown fans, tied the Lafayette single-game record for catches. Lafayette was forced to play from behind the entire game. The Leopards and Colonials exchanged inter-ceptions in the opening minutes, but it was Lafayette’s second turnover that proved costly. Operating from deep inside Lafayette territory, An-drew Shoop connected with Ross who appeared to juggle the ball for an incompletion. The contested play was ruled a catch and a fumble and was recovered by RMU’s Mike Neilson for a TD. Robert Morris led 14-0 after a 26-yard touchdown pass from Jeff Sinclair to Duane Mitchell in the corner of the endzone. The Leopards sliced the Robert Mor-ris lead in half with a 25-yard touchdown run by Ross Scheuerman the first rushing touchdown of his career. Robert Morris answered quickly, travelling 72 yards on 10 plays. Sinclair’s three-yard pass to Paul Evans made it 21-7. Robert Morris took advantage of Shoop’s second INT. Sinclair upped the halftime margin to 28-7 with an eight-yard run around left end. The Leopards received the ball to start the second half and promptly marched it 80 yards on 10 plays. A 30-yard pass from Shoop to Ross extended the drive. The 12-yard strike between the tandem cut the deficit to 28-14 with 9:16 left in the third quarter. The Leopards kept inching closer to Robert Morris, which was playing the second home night game in school history. Lafayette scored on the opening play of the fourth quarter, a two-yard pass from Shoop to Ross with 14:55 left in the game. The drive covered 73 yards on 14 plays and took up 6:49 on the clock. Ryan Gral-ish’s PAT was true and the Colonials’ lead was seven. The Leopards’ defense built on the momentum, forc-ing a Robert Morris punt. Lafayette took over at its own 26-yard line with 12:25 left in the game. Shoop, Scheuerman and Ross embarked on a nine-play 74-yard drive that tied the game. The big strike was a 25-yard connection to Ross. On 2nd-and-goal at the 10, Shoop drilled a pass to Rodney Gould to knot the game at 28-28. Shoop finished the day 25-of-38 for 268 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Robert Morris got the ball back with 2:23 left in the game. At the RMU 22, Sinclair heaved a pass to Donte Jeter for a 43-yard pickup, putting the Colonials in field-goal range. RMU picked up six more yards before Greg Langer hit the game-winning 33-yard field goal. Defensively, five players had seven tackles for the Leopards and Colton Kirkpatrick had an INT. Marcelis Branch had 14 tackles and an INT for RMU.

THE GROUND GAME: Three-time All-Patriot League selection Ross Scheuerman spearheads the running attack. The senior tailback has led the team in rushing the past three seasons and carried for 1,113 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2013 as the first player since 2006 to rush for 1,000 yards. Behind Scheuerman are sophomores Kyle Mayfield and Adin Greenfield and freshman DeSean Brown, none of whom had any career game carries coming into 2014. Mayfield, Brown and junior Deuce Gruden all had carries after Scheuerman’s injury at Sacred Heart.

LINE ’EM UP: Three starters return on the offensive line led by two-time All-Patriot League selection Luke Chiarolanzio at left tackle. Chiarolanzio has started 34 games in his career. Zack Mazur, a 2013 All-Patriot League Second-Team honoree, made the move to center for 2014 after starting 23 games at right tackle the past two seasons. Mazur will continue to play alongside Maxim Ngolla at right guard. Ngolla played in 17 games with 14 starts in the past two seasons. The other guard spot is occupied by sophomore Connor Staudle. Nick Zataveski is the starting right tackle with Paul Federinko battling him for playing time.

WITH PURPOSE: Senior TB Ross Scheuerman led the Patriot League and ranked eighth in the nation in all-purpose yards (rushing, receiving and return yards combined). Scheuerman racked up 1,920 all-purpose yards, averaging 160 per game outing. He averaged 93 yards per game on the ground, 39 yards on kick returns and 28 yards in the air. In the season opener, Scheuerman had 160 all-purpose yards despite playing only one half.

REED BACK AT QB: Sophomore QB Drew Reed was a key component in the Leopards’ turnaround and eventual championship in 2013. Reed was named the CFPA FCS National Freshman Performer of the Year, was a finalist for the Jerry Rice Award (given to the top FCS freshman in the nation) and finished second in Patriot League Rookie of the Year voting. The Tennessee native played in eight games, making the final six starts. Reed set a single-season school record for completion percentage (73%), connecting on 132-of-182 for 1,887 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions. He was 4-1 as a starter in the regular season, taking over the quarterback duties in the second half of the Harvard game when he completed 17-of-22 for 235 yards and two touchdowns. In 2013, Reed secured Patriot League Offensive Player and Rookie of the Week honors in the same week on two different occasions, the only player ever to achieve the feat. He added Sports Network Co-Freshman of the Week honors after leading Lafayette past Lehigh during which he completed 20-of-27 passes for a career-high 378 yards and three touchdowns. He was named MVP of the 149th meeting of College Football’s Most-Played Rivalry.

CAPTAINS: Seniors Luke Chiarolanzio, James Coscia, Jared Roberts and Ross Scheuerman have been selected as team captains by head coach Frank Tavani. Chiarolanzio is a two-time All-Patriot League selection at left tackle and a three-year starter on the offensive line. He started 33 games in his career entering 2014 and helped pave the way for Scheuerman’s 1,000-yard season in 2013. Scheuerman is a three-time All-Patriot League Second Team honoree at tailback and return specialist and was the 2011 Patriot League Rookie of the Year. He has led the team in rushing the past three seasons, accumulating 2,313 yards. Scheuerman is coming off a 2013 campaign in which he carried 210 times for 1,113 yards and 14 touchdowns. Roberts and Coscia represent the defensive side of the ball. Roberts is a two-time All-Patriot League selection at strong safety. He burst onto the scene in 2012, picking off a team-best four passes while starting 11 games. In 2013, he was fourth

on the team in tackles while starting 10 games and playing in 11. Coscia is the only captain selection not from New Jersey. He played in 20 games in his sophomore and junior seasons. He was named the Defensive Line MVP in 2013, recording 49 tackles while turning in career-defining performances against No. 5 Fordham (7 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 2 sacks) and No. 15 Lehigh (49-yard fumble return for touchdown).

PRESEASON ALL-PATRIOT LEAGUE: Lafayette earned four selections on the Preseason All-Patriot League Team announced July 30. Senior TB Ross Scheuerman, senior OT Luke Chiarolanzio and junior Matt Smalley received the nods at cornerback and return specialist. RETURNERS RETURNING: The kick-off return game highlighted strong special teams’ play in 2013. The Leopards finished fourth in the nation, returning the ball an average of 25 yards per kick. Cornerback Matt Smalley was eighth in the nation, bringing back kicks an average of 29.6 yards per attempt. He was third in the nation with two runbacks for touchdowns on his way to All-Patriot League First-Team honors at return specialist. Smalley ran back the opening kick of the season 98 yards for a TD against Sacred Heart to set a school record and garner Patriot League Special Teams Player of the Week. At Georgetown, Smalley broke his own school record, traipsing 99 yards. Smalley had three returns for 117 yards in the game and collected Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time in 2013. Ross Scheuerman finished 29th nationally, averaging 24.7 yards per return on 19 tries. Against Lehigh, he had three returns for 112 yards and a long of 59 yards that set up Lafayette’s first score. Darrell Crawford (5-23.0) and Justin Adams (3-21.0) also contributed in the return game.

LOSS OF ROSS: Lafayette’s all-time leading receiver Mark Ross ’14 graduated, leaving as the school recordholder for career receptions (198), career receiving yards (2,811), career receiving touchdowns (27) and single-game catches (13). Ross led the team in receiving the past three seasons, establishing a host of single-season marks. Perhaps most importantly, he was the go-to receiver in 2013, as 51 of his 74 receptions resulted in a first down or touchdown. Three seniors, Demetrius Dixon, Justin Adams and Mike Duncan, are

looking forward to the opportunity to be the team’s number one receiver. Dixon was second on the team in receiving in 2013, making 35 catches for 405 yards with three touchdowns. His biggest output came in the Leopards’ Patriot League championship-clinching victory over Lehigh when he reeled in six catches for 107 yards, including a 68-yard touchdown catch and run that put the game out of reach. Adams has played in 15 games the last two seasons with seven starts. The bulk of that playing time came in 2013 when he caught 27 balls for 342 yards and a touchdown. When he has been healthy, he has shown himself to be one of the team’s top receivers, but concussions have limited his playing time. In 2013, Adams, too, enjoyed his top game against Lehigh, making five catches for 92 yards and a touchdown. Duncan corralled 29 balls for 346 yards and four touchdowns in 2013, significantly up from his 2012 numbers (19-371, 3 TD) when he had his breakout season. Sophomore Tim Vangelas and freshmen Matt Mrazek and Rocco Palumbo are also poised to see playing time.

THE KICKER: Junior Ryan Gralish is in his third season as the team’s placekicker. Gralish has been the full-time placekicker since the second game of his rookie season. As a freshman, he converted 6-of-8 field goals and 28-of-31 PATs, earning one Rookie of the Week award. In 2013, Gralish was 9-of-11 on field goals with a long of 38 yards and is 37-of-39 on PATs. He will miss the first four games of the season and Forrester will handle the placekicking duties while freshman Thomas Martin takes charge of kickoffs.

DEJA VU 1994 & 2013?: For long-time followers of the Lafayette program, there were striking similarities between the 1994 and 2013 Patriot League championship seasons. In 1994, Lafayette started the season 0-6 before ripping off five straight for a P.L. title. The 2013 installment lost five of the first six, but won four of its last five en route to the outright Patriot League title. Both seasons included three losses to Ivy League foes. The 50 points that Lafayette scored against Lehigh in 2013 were the most since scoring 54 against the Mountain Hawks to cap the 1994 season. 1000 x 2 in 2013: The 2013 Lafayette offense boasted a 1,000-yard receiver and a 1,000-yard rusher in the same season for the first time in program history. WR Mark Ross (1,078) and TB Ross Scheuerman (1,113) both crossed the 1000-yard threshold in the Lehigh game.

GRAND PERFORMANCE: Ross Scheuerman was the first back since Jonathan Hurt ’07 in 2006 (1,165 yards) to rush for 1,000 yards. His rushing yardage has increased steadily each season (499 in 2011, 701 in 2012 and 1,113 in 2013). He ranks eighth in career rushing yards (2,313) and career rushing touchdowns (19).

2013 NON-LEAGUE OPPONENTS: Lafayette’s 2013 non-conference opponents were a combined 49-19 (Sacred Heart 10-3, William & Mary 7-5, Penn 4-6, Princeton 8-2, Harvard 9-1 and Fordham 12-2) for a .738 winning percentage. In terms of overall strength of schedule, Lafayette played the 13th toughest schedule in the nation with the cumulative opposition posting a 73-50 mark.

50 IS THE NEW 40: Lafayette scored 40 or more points in three games in 2013, beating Holy Cross 41-23 (Oct. 26), Georgetown 45-27 (Nov. 2) and Lehigh (50-28). Lafayette scored 50 points for the first time since Nov. 7, 2009 (Colgate) and the most in the Lehigh series since a 54-20 thrashing in 1994.

2013 OFFENSIVE OUTPUT: Lafayette managed 400-plus total yards of offense in six games this in 2013, including a span of four straight. The Leopards had 235 passing yards and 193 yards on the ground against Bucknell (season-high total of

428), followed with 243 passing yards and 158 rushing yards at Princeton (401 total) and had 412 at Harvard (108 rushing, 327 passing). At Holy Cross, Lafayette pushed out 413 yards on 283 passing and 130 rushing. Versus No. 5 Fordham, Lafayette had 245 on the ground and 239 through the air for 484 total. Lafayette’s highest offensive output came at Lehigh when Lafayette had 378 passing yards and 120 rushing.

TOP 25 OPPONENTS: Lafayette faced four opponents who were ranked in the top 25. Lafayette knocked off No. 5 Fordham, the program’s first win over a top-five team. The Leopards followed with a convincing win over No. 15 Lehigh before losing to No. 15 New Hampshire in the opening round of the FCS Playoffs. Lafayette also played No. 25 Harvard. During the season, William & Mary and Princeton were also ranked in the Top 25, but not at the time when Lafayette played them.

AT IT A WHILE: Since fielding its first college football team in the fall of 1882 (the same year that coward Robert Ford shot Jesse James in the back and that Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture debuted), Lafayette has had a proud, colorful gridiron tradition on the way to a total of 664 victories (664-573-39). Lafayette ranks 38th among all college football teams in all-time wins entering the 2014 season, posting its first win in 1883 (25-0 vs. Rutgers). Lafayette accumulated 100 victories by 1900, 200 by 1915 and 300 by 1934. The Lafayette program is in its 133rd season.

PATRIOT LEAGUE FOOTBALL: The Patriot League is in its 28th season as a football conference and is currently comprised of Bucknell, Colgate, Fordham, Georgetown, Holy Cross and Lehigh. Fordham and Georgetown are associate members in the 10-team all-sport conference which includes Army, Navy, American and Boston University and Loyola (Md.), both of which joined in 2013-14. American, Boston and Loyola do not have football and Army and Navy compete at the FBS level. • The league is known for its academic priority, recently finishing in the top spot in the NCAA’s Graduate Rate Report. • Until recently, football financial aid was given out on a need basis. Fordham adopted scholarships four seasons ago and is recruiting its fifth scholarship class, but was ineligible for the conference crown and the NCAA automatic playoff berth for several seasons because of the scholarship disparity. The balance of the Patriot League began offering football scholarships for the Class of 2017, not to exceed 60 equivalencies. • Redshirts are granted only for medical reasons. Thus, there are only a handful of fifth-year seniors on any given squad.

SCHOLARSHIPS ARRIVE: The Leopards’ sophomore class represents the football program’s first class of scholarship student-athletes during the Patriot League era. The Patriot League presidents voted in February 2012 to begin allowing scholarships with a maximum of 15 per season until reaching a maximum of 60 equivalencies in any given year. Previously, financial aid was awarded based solely on financial need.

RETIRING NO. 53: Prior to the Harvard game on Oct. 1, 2011, the No. 53 was retired in honor of Fred Morgan Kirby ’42, the first retirement of its kind for the football program. Kirby was a member of the 1940 undefeated football team that ran through the likes of Army, Rutgers and Lehigh, while allowing just 33 points in a nine-game slate. After graduating from Lafayette, Kirby served in Europe in World War II and later earned his master’s degree from Harvard. He served as the chairman of the Alleghany Corporation for 39 years and was one of the College’s most prominent and dedicated alums. Kirby, who passed away in February 2011, left behind a legacy of academic, athletic, military, professional, civic and charitable

achievements.WHAT PEOPLE THINK: In the 2014 Patriot League Pre-season Poll, the Leopards, who had 51 points and received two first-place votes, were picked third behind Fordham (72 points,12 first-place votes) and Lehigh which had 54 points. Lafayette sat ahead of Bucknell (43), Colgate (33), Holy Cross (29) and Georgetown (12). In 2013, Lafayette was picked fourth and finished first.

COSTANZO IN THE NFL: In his eighth season, Blake Costanzo ’06 continues to represent Lafayette in the NFL. He returned to San Francisco in 2014 after a two-year stint with the Chicago Bears. In an August preseason game, Costanzo suffered a serious knee injury and was placed on the season-ending, injured-reserve list. Costanzo has played in 91 games in his career and has been a standout special teams performer for four teams (Chicago, San Francisco, Cleveland and Buffalo). In the 2011-12 season for the 49ers, he was their special teams’ standout and a game captain in the playoffs. Prior to signing with the 49ers, Costanzo spent two seasons (2009-10) with the Cleveland Browns where he was selected to SI.com’s All-Pro team on special teams that season. Costanzo, a 30-year old native of Franklin Lakes, N.J. and a 2002 Ramapo High School graduate, finished his Lafayette career with 307 tackles, 18 sacks, three interceptions, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 12 passes defended. He was part of three Patriot League championship teams.

ARMY ON THE LEDGER: Lafayette is slated to play Army in a two-game series beginning in 2016 with both games scheduled for Michie Stadium in West Point, N.Y. The 2016 meeting, which is tabbed for Oct. 15, rep-resents the Leopard program’s first game against a Foot-ball Bowl Subdivision (FBS) program since facing Army on Sept. 13, 1997. The second meeting is scheduled for Oct. 6, 2018. The teams have played 18 times with Army hold-ing a 17-1 advantage in the series. Lafayette and Army met nine times from 1986 to 1997 including a 38-36 final in 1992 in which Tom Kirchhoff threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns as Lafayette scored 22 fourth-quarter points. Army kicked a field goal with five seconds left to seal the win, the closest decision in the series history. All 18 games in the series have been played in West Point, N.Y. with the first meeting in 1893. The Leopards’ lone victory, 19-0, came on Oct. 26, 1940.

PATRIOT LEAGUE TITLES: Lafayette has won seven Patriot League championships in the 27-year history of the league (1988, 1992, 1994, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2013). The Leopards’ title in 2013 was the first since 2006 when Lafayette closed out a string of three straight. Those three titles also led to three straight NCAA Playoff appearances, making Lafayette one of six teams in the country to appear in the 16-team field in three straight years.

A PROUD TRADITION...OF KICKING: Since the formation

of the Patriot League, Lafayette has enjoyed a proud tradition of placekicking. The most recent addition to the Lafayette recordbook was Davis Rodriguez ’10 who took with him 251 career points. He finished third in the Patriot League annals for career kick scoring leaders, trailing only Jason McLaughlin – (255) and Jim Hodson (254), both Lafayette graduates. He also ranked fifth in career points per game for kickers with 5.7 per game.

200+ RUSHING GAMES: Since 1990, there have been nine 200-yard rushing performances for the Leopards, six of which were the work of Maroon Club Hall of Fame honoree Erik Marsh ’95.

HISTORIC FISHER STADIUM: Fisher Stadium has hosted the College’s home football games since 1926. The facility underwent a $35 million transformation that gave Lafayette one of the premier FCS football venues in the nation. New spectator seating was built and additional visitors’ seating was added for a maximum capacity of 13,132 fans. A state-of-the-art in-fill synthetic surface, lights, a press box and a 19-by-35 foot video board were installed, while improved restroom and vending areas were also included. The Bourger Varsity Football House includes a locker room, offices and team meeting rooms, as well as sports medicine and strength and conditioning areas. Now in its 86th season, Fisher Stadium has been host to 430 Lafayette football games with the Leopards enjoying an overall record of 252-165-13 for a winning percentage of .608. Of the previous 85 seasons, Lafayette has produced 12 undefeated home seasons with the most recent being the 1992 Patriot League champion Leopards that went a perfect 5-0 – the first undefeated home season for Lafayette at Fisher Stadium since 1970. During the 1991, 1992 and 1993 seasons, Lafayette won 10 straight home games— tying the Fisher Stadium school record for consecutive wins first set in 1926 and 1927 in the first 10 games ever played in the stadium.

AND WE GO TO...OVERTIME: Lafayette has played nine overtime games all-time and is 3-6 in those contests.

11/05/11 Colgate 37-24 WNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS: The Lafayette football program has claimed three national championships -- 1896, 1921 and 1926 -- and recorded five undefeated seasons -- 1896 (11-0-1), 1921 (9-0-0), 1926 (9-0-0), 1937 (8-0-0) and 1940 (9-0-0). Of recent note, the Leopards have won six Patriot League championships -- 1988, 1992, 1994, 2004, 2005 and 2006 -- and made their first three appearances in the NCAA FCS Playoffs.

LAFAYETTE’S FOOTBALL INVENTORS: Two primary elements of the game of football -- the helmet and the huddle -- were invented by former members of the Lafayette football program. George “Rose” Barclay from the Class of 1898, one of Lafayette’s all-time great running backs, invented the helmet when the “threat of cultivating cauliflower ears” led him to piece three thick leather straps around his head for the 1896 game against Penn. Former Lafayette coach Herb McCracken (1924-35; 59-40-6) devised the first huddle system during the 1924 season after learning the University of Pennsylvania football team had stolen Lafayette’s signals. Lafayette became the first team to huddle before each play and this system was immediately adopted by other teams.

SARTORIAL SCHEMES: Frank Tavani’s time at Lafayette has coincided with some sartorial experimentation with the team’s uniforms. Tavani introduced the black uniforms (beloved by the younger crowd, but no so much by the older alums) to go along with the traditional colors of maroon and white. For the 2011 Lafayette-Lehigh meeting, Tavani donned throwback uniforms of white jerseys and gun metal gray pants and white and gray numbered helmets. Lafayette is 7-5 all-time in black jerseys.

THE SERIES: College Football’s Most-Played Rivalry dates back to 1884 when Lafayette shut out Lehigh 50-0 in Easton. The two teams met twice a year from 1884-1901 (three times in 1891) and once a year (for the most part) since then, with the exception of 1896 when a player eligibility dispute between the schools cancelled the game. The Leopards lead the series 77-67-5. Home field advantage plays a big role in this rivalry. Lafayette leads 41-29-5 when playing in Easton and Lehigh has a 37-36 edge over the Leopards in Bethlehem. Lehigh is 1-0 at neutral sites. Lafayette and Lehigh have split the last 10 meetings.

A LITTLE MOMENTUM: For the first time since 2007, Lafayette was coming off a win entering the Lafayette-Lehigh game. In the Frank Tavani era (since 2000), Lafayette is 0-6 against Lehigh when losing the week prior but 6-2 when winning the week before.

FAMILIAR SCENARIO: The 149th meeting was the seventh time Lafayette and Lehigh played with the Patriot League title at stake and the fourth time with the league’s automatic qualifier also up for grabs. Five of those games have been won by the hosts. Lafayette is now 5-2 in “title” games vs. Lehigh. 11/20/1993 Lehigh 39-14 Bethlehem11/19/1994 Lafayette 54-20 Easton11/18/1995 Lehigh 37-30 (2OT) Bethlehem11/20/2004 Lafayette 24-10 Easton

THE SERIES MVP: Media members vote on the Lafayette-Lehigh game’s MVP, an award established in 1960. In 2013, Lafayette freshman QB Drew Reed won the honor after a 378-yard passing day on which he completed 20-of-27 for three touchdowns. There have been eight two-time winners: Brad Maurer (2004, 2006), Tom Costello (1988, 1989) and Erik Marsh (1992, 94) from Lafayette and Kim McQuilken (1972, 73), Marty Horn (1983, 85), Ron Jean (1998, 99) and J.B. Clark (2008, 09) from Lehigh. In the series, there have been co-MVP’s only twice (1976 and 2006).

LAFAYETTE-LEHIGH RIVALRY NOTES

SERIES FRESHMEN: Reed is the first freshman MVP since Lehigh’s Phil Stambaugh in 1996 and one of just three Lafayette freshman to win the honor. The last Lafayette freshman winner was TB Tom Costello in 1988, joining Jim Johnson in 1984 as first-year winners.

RIVALRY 150 IN YANKEE STADIUM: Lafayette will host the 150th meeting in College Football’s Most-Played Rivalry at Yan-kee Stadium on Nov. 22, 2014. The game at Yankee Stadium will be the first Lafayette-Lehigh meeting at a neutral site since Nov. 25, 1891, when the teams played at West Side Park in Wilkes Barre, Pa. Begun in 1884, Lafayette-Lehigh is not only the nation’s most-played rivalry. It has been played every year since 1897 without interruption, reaching 117 consecutive years in 2013, the longest streak of consecutive years for any rivalry in college football. Playing at historic sites is not new for Lafayette. The Leop-ards played New York University at the original Yankee Stadium from 1933 to 1937 and faced Washington and Jefferson Col-lege there in 1924. The Leopards have also played at the Polo Grounds and Franklin Field in addition to participating in the first indoor night college football game in 1930 at the Atlantic City Auditorium in front of 17,000 fans. Yankee Stadium, both the current and the original venues, has played host to numerous college football games through the years. The original structure welcomed a number of contests from its opening in 1923, including New York University and Fordham University home games. From 1925-46, and again in 1969, the annual Notre Dame-Army football game took place at Yankee Stadium, including the memorable “win one for the Gip-per” matchup in 1928, and the 1946 contest which ended in a scoreless tie and featured four Heisman Trophy winners. The latest version of Yankee Stadium annually hosts the New Era Pinstripe Bowl which brings together teams from the Big East and Big 12. The approximate capacity of Yankee Sta-dium for the Lafayette-Lehigh game will be 49,000 with access to the venue permitted two hours before the game. Kick-off is set for 3:30 p.m.

2014 Game RecapsGAME 1 LAFAYETTE 14 SACRED HEART 27 FAIRFIELD, Conn. (9/6/14) - Sacred Heart handed defending Patriot League champion La-fayette a 27-14 loss in the Leopards’ season opener. The game was twice delayed because of weather. Lafayette saw its offense struggle for most of the contest, but the defense appeared to have put the Leopards in a position for a final rally in the fourth quarter. Lafayette had the Pioneers 3rd-and-13 at the SHU 42 with 1:50 left in the game, looking to force a punt. Quarterback R.J. Noel uncorked a 57-yard pass to Jackson King who was able to get behind senior strong safety Jared Roberts. After a Sacred Heart timeout, Noel punched in the game-clinching score from one yard out, finishing with 49 yards on the ground and a pair of rushing scores. Defensively, the Leopards had 12 tackles for loss by 13 different players and held the Sacred Heart offense to 366 yards. Linebacker Mark Dodd led the team with 11 stops while Chris Brockman added 10, each while contributing a pair of tackles for loss. In the opening quarter, the teams exchanged punts, but it was Ryan Forrester’s second punt of the night that pinned the Pioneers at their own two-yard line. Forrester had a solid night, punting 10 times, landing four inside the 20. After Forrester’s punt, Sacred Heart (2-0) ran off a 98-yard scoring drive that covered 4:35 and ended with a five-yard pass from Noel (14-of-32 for 1 TD) to Tyler Dube. Keshaudas Spen-ce, the school’s all-time leading rusher picked up two first downs on the drive with runs of 20 and 30 yards, but was held to 80 yards on the ground. On the ensuing kick-off, the Leopards’ answered in dramatic fashion when Ross Scheuer-man returned a kick 90 yards for a touchdown and score. It was the longest kick-off return of hsi career and second for a touchdown. Forrester’s PAT tied the game at 7-7 with 3:05 left in first quarter. Scheuerman missed most of the second half after sustaining an hip injury. Lafayette turned it over late in the first quarter when sophomore QB Drew Reed was inter-cepted on the home sideline after a scramble. Reed finished the game 19-of-39 for 131 yards with three interceptions. The Pioneers took over at their own 22, but the Lafayette defense was up to the task, forcing a 37-yard Chris Rogers field goal to give Sacred Heart a 10-7 lead. Rogers added a second field goal with 10:16 left in the half as Sacred Heart led 13-7. Sacred Heart extended the lead with 5:02 left in the first half. Noel faked the hand-off to Spence and then tucked the ball and ran it in from seven yards out for the 20-7 advantage at halftime. In the third quarter, the Leopards had the ball 4th-and-5 at the Sacred Heart 24-yard line. The Leopards went for it. The SHU defense appeared to have Reed contained in the backfield, but he scrambled to elude the pressure and hit TE Brian Keller near the 10-yard line. Justin Adams threw a block to spring him Keller for the rest of the yardage as Lafayette closed the gap to 20-14 with 5:28 in third quarter. The Lafayette offense couldn’t find its rhythm in the fourth quarter as its first four drives ac-counted for just 15 plays and a total of 20 yards. Sacred Heart took over with 3:05 left in the game. On first down, Chris Brockman and Shane Dorner stopped Spence in the backfield for a loss of three. On second down, Noel had a ball dropped by his receiver, setting up the decisive 57-yard Noel strike to King.
