Entering the week, there were questions about what QB Lehigh was going to start. The answer was freshman Patrick Coan, who led his team back against Bucknell last week. Against Colgate, Coan completed 13/24 passes for 221 yards and 1 TD, and also had 8 carries for 47 yards. RB Luke Yoder had 21 carries for 181 yards and 2 TDs on the day. Lehigh totaled 526 yards of offense and 305 total rushing yards against what was ranked as the Patriot League’s top run defense.
Lehigh got its offense rolling in the 1st quarter, with a Connor Poole FG and a Luke Yoder 19 yard TD run, which put him first all time in Lehigh rushing TDs with 47, surpassing Dom Bragalone’s record of 46, that put Lehigh up 10-0.
Luke Yoder runs it in to add 6 with a record breaking touchdown!
