BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Two nationally-ranked foes clash at Goodman Stadium Saturday as No. 17/21 Lehigh hosts No. 7/10 New Hampshire on Homecoming. The Mountain Hawks moved to 3-0 after rallying from a 22-3 halftime deficit to edge Princeton 29-28 Saturday night. Senior quarterback Brandon Bialkowski threw for 430 yards and completed a school record 42 passes to lead the comeback effort. Wide receiver Lee Kurfis had his third straight big game with 13 catches for 152 yards, while running back Sean Farrell scored the game-winning touchdown with 2:45 to play.
Â
Fresh off a bye last week, New Hampshire comes into Saturday's game with a 1-1 record. The Wildcats opened their season with a last-second 27-24 loss at FBS member Central Michigan on September 7 and then routed Colgate 53-23 in their home opener the following Saturday. UNH has made a FCS-best nine straight playoff appearances and has now appeared in the national polls for a record 130 consecutive weeks.
Â
Bialkowski was named Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week Monday following another monster effort in Lehigh's win at Princeton. Bialkowski completed a Lehigh single-game record 42 passes (in 57 attempts) for 430 yards and two touchdowns. The 430 yard effort marked the sixth-highest single game total in school history. For the season, the Arizona native has completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,171 yards, nine touchdowns and four interceptions. He is ranked in the top five in the FCS in passing yards (total and per game), total offense and completions per game.
Â
The Mountain Hawks have relied on a pair of remarkable comebacks to start this season 3-0. After rallying from 20 points down to defeat Central Connecticut State in double overtime in its season opener on September 7, the Mountain Hawks erased a 19 point halftime deficit to defeat Princeton last weekend. Lehigh's opponents have scored first in all three games and the Mountain Hawks have rallied from behind on all three occasions. The Mountain Hawks erased an 18 point second half deficit in their last game against New Hampshire before falling in overtime.
Â
College football coaches around the country, including Lehigh's Andy Coen, will join to fight one opponent Saturday – Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. By wearing an arm band with the Coach to Cure MD insignia, coaches will show their support for Coach to Cure MD, the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) charitable project. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed during childhood. Because the Duchenne gene is found on the X-chromosome, it primarily affects boys and occurs across all races and cultures.
Â
Lehigh meets New Hampshire for the 14th time with the Wildcats leading the series 11-2. UNH has won the last nine meetings, with Lehigh's last win coming in 1982. These two teams first met in the 1975 NCAA playoffs at Taylor Stadium.
Â
Saturday's game kicks off just after 12:30 on Homecoming at Goodman Stadium. Tickets for the game are still available, and may be purchased in one of three ways: by visiting the Lehigh ticket office located in Stabler Arena, by calling (610) 7LU-GAME, or on-line anytime at LehighTickets.com.
