Georgetown at Lehigh
BETHLEHEM, Pa. (Interstat) — The undefeated Lehigh Mountain Hawks put their perfect record on the line Saturday when they host the surging Georgetown Hoyas in a key Patriot League matchup at Goodman Stadium.
Lehigh (8-0), one of the nation’s remaining unbeaten teams, is coming off a dominant 27-6 road win at Fordham. The Mountain Hawks’ offense, led by quarterback Hayden Johnson, has been potent all season. Johnson threw for 267 yards and a touchdown and added 28 yards on the ground in last week’s victory.
Standing in their way is a Georgetown squad (5-3) that has won three straight games, including a 31-24 win at Bucknell last Saturday. The Hoyas’ offense is powered by a strong rushing attack, with Savion Hart rushing for 116 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Bison. Quarterback Dez Thomas II provides a dual-threat, efficiently managing the passing game while contributing on the ground.
The Hoyas’ three-game winning streak will face its toughest test yet against a Lehigh defense that has held its last two opponents to a combined 13 points. Georgetown’s early-season struggles, including a 46-0 loss at Brown, seem a distant memory as they enter November with momentum.
Interstat’s game simulator projects a Lehigh victory, 35-23. A win would keep the Mountain Hawks in the driver’s seat for a league title, while the Hoyas look to continue their climb and pull off a signature upset on the road.
