Still working on my Villanova/Lehigh recap, which will get done, I promise, if only for myself. But this paragraph stood out to me. You won't get this from any other recap on the planet.

Analyze Josh Allen. Analyze everything that makes him great - instant juice when he's in a game, can huck the ball any crazy way to make plays, hugely mobile, have to respect his great mobility and can win games with his feet. Think of a player that is the opposite of all that. That's Tanner McKee.

Thank you. Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!!!! @jeremylittau.com I am not crazy. Reese's Peanut Butter cups are shit and have been shit from about thine I stopped eating them since they didn't taste like peanut butter, more like Frankenoily crap.

Lehigh at No. 19 this week.

Man, you really hate to see Bill Maher have his face eaten by a leopard.

My FCS Top 25 poll this week.

In fact... The opposite happened.

Aaron Rodgers with a trash try to draw offsides, @brianmfloyd.bsky.social. maybe we can get a karma missed FG?

I'll take the tie against Brentford, but oh so close to getting the 3 points for Hull

Need a Belloumi screamer to get the win, @batogato.bsky.social

Shough looks like a great QB like 85% of the time then has like 3 throws a game where you're like what the everloving hell that end in interceptions or near-interceptions

Finally, Oli Oli Oli scores off the penalty!!!! 1-0 Hull leading Brentford

What a game. Lehigh dug themselves into too big a hole, came two yards away from redemption, and couldn't get it. Another battle, another finish just short. Admirable battle to get back in it, but didn't come out fast, and it ended up costing them. Villanova 21, Lehigh 18, final.

Morgan sacked at the 2. It's over. Villanova 21, Lehigh 18, Final.

Lehigh is at their 25 yard line. Two minutes to go. Down 6. My stomach is in knots. Let's go.

If you have prayer beads, now is the time.

That 28 yard FG by Villanova feels like a stop. Villanova 24, Lehigh 18, 3:33 to play.

HUUUUUUUGE STOP BY LEHIGH AT THE 2 YARD LINE!!!! IGGY WILLIAMS!!!

2nd and goal Villanova. Stand time for the Lehigh defense.

End of 3Q, Lehigh 10, Villanova 21. Championship games find ways to win these games. Can Lehigh get back in this? It's a two score game and they have the ball back.

The first phase of a comeback is complete - the Yoder TD. The next phase was a stop. Lehigh gets it, forcing a fumble on 3rd down, which Nova recovered. Villanova will punt.

Finally. A Luke Yoder touchdown puts Lehigh on the board against Villanova.

End of the 1st half, it's Villanova 21, Lehigh 0. A pretty dreadful half of football on the Lehigh side, can't sugar coat it. I desperately wanted the defense to send a message. They didn't, really. Now Lehigh's in the same hole they were last week, only worse.

End of the 1st quarter, Lehigh 0, Villanova 7. The WIldcats start the game with an impressive time-consuming drive, and since then it's been an exchange of punts. Lehigh offense hasn't got out of their own end yet.

Chris Berman just gave Lehigh a nice shoutout at the halftime interview of the Cornell Brown game..."no one beats Lehigh at this level".

I don't know who needs to hear this but Paris has been lovely, peaceful all this week. Even today with the scheduled protests and some storefronts and metro stops closed, everyone is just out living their lives and all the bars, restaurants, etc are packed

SAFETY ALERT

As I finish my final prep for the game this afternoon, here is my Keys to the Game and Fearless Prediction this week. If you want these earlier (and a lot more), subscribe to the Lehigh Sports Nation newsletter.

Army’s kicker just buried a fifty yarder for the win, banger 10/10 game

Never gets old.

It’s a gorgeous place to watch a game AND they have a mud hill

And Draftkings!

Marshall Faulk has been dealing with a challenge even greater than coaching. The Hall of Fame running back and first-year head coach of Southern University went public about being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. READ: hbcusports.com/2026/10/22/m...

Truly the Josh Allen of his time

Normally I hate AI slop with the heat of a thousand suns, but when it comes up with an AI Jamies saying “When God closes one door, he opens another, and sometimes that door has JJ McCarthy standing behind it”, I have to admit I paused, laughed, and double checked it wasn't real

The CFP describes itself as a non-entity, a pass-through that only implements the desires of its members, college football's conferences. So why in the heck has it spent $5 million lobbying Congress? www.foiaball.com/p/college-fo...
