Before 60 seconds had ticked off the clock, the Tigers faced a 7-0 deficit — Brown’s Alex Jette had returned the opening kickoff 99 yards to score — and had turned the ball over on their first possession, as senior quarterback Kedric Bostic fumbled on the game’s second offensive play. However, it would turn out that the game’s final minute, rather than the first, would prove decisive, as Brown running back Johnny Pena scored the game-winning touchdown with 57 seconds left to play.

It was a stark contrast from the previous game. Last weekend, the Princeton football team was greeted by a brisk fall wind and a plethora of Tigers faithful, eagerly awaiting their team’s home opener. This time, the wind, the rain and the band were their closest companions, as a daylong downpour kept even the most devoted of football fans to watching the game from inside.

2006 was the last time Princeton won its first two games of the season. It was also the last year the team had gotten off to a start like this one. Defending Powers Field in their first home game of the season, the Tigers (2-0) rocked the visiting Lehigh Mountain Hawks (2-2), rolling to a 52-26 victory. With the victory, they break a four-game losing streak against Lehigh, going back to 2010.

Coming off its first season opener victory in nine years, the football team hopes to carry the momentum of last week’s dominant victory over Lafayette into Saturday’s game against Lehigh. Despite this, the Mountain Hawks’ consistent success over the last few seasons will present a much greater challenge than Lafayette did last week.Lehigh comes into Saturday’s match having already played three games. In fact, Princeton will be Lehigh’s second straight Ivy opponent after the Mountain Hawks defeated Penn 42-21 last weekend. Between the two teams, Lehigh holds a four-game win streak over Princeton with its previous meeting ending in a 29-28 thriller.Commenting on the challenge that Lehigh presents, senior co-captain Seth DeValve said, “Lehigh is always a tough opponent. They play hard and run to the football. They’re not the type of team who is going to try to trick you; they just line up their 11 against their opponents and try and outwork them. That’s why Lehigh has been good for many years.”“Our preparation for them is the same as any other week. We work hard during practice to be in shape and to know our opponent. The game is always won or lost between Tuesday and Friday,” he added.Comparing the two teams’ styles, Princeton’s running game far surpasses Lehigh’s. The Tigers rushed over 300 yards against Lafayette while the Mountain Hawks average only 166 yards through three games.Heading into the 2015 season, the quarterback position has been the Tigers’ biggest question mark. Following the graduation of star quarterbacks Quinn Epperly ’15 and Connor Michelsen ’15, an offensive void widens. Fortunately, in his starting debut, junior quarterback Chad Kanoff rose to the occasion. Kanoff threw 20-31 for 256 yards.Meanwhile Lehigh quarterback Nick Shafnisky comes off a career-high game of five touchdowns over Penn, passing three and rushing the remainder. Shafnisky accounted for nearly 70 percent of the Mountain Hawk yardage, accounting for 345 of the team’s 495 yards.The Mountain Hawks also feature an impressive host of freshman. In fact, a Mountain Hawk has won the Patriot League Rookie of the Week award for three consecutive weeks.Fans hoping to catch the challenging home opener at 5 p.m. on Saturday can also participate in Community and Staff Day. Faculty, students, and local residents can enjoy a Family Fun-Fest and an assortment of entertainment. Princeton student athletes will also host a youth sports clinic before the game.

This article is part of our 2015 Fall PreviewThe sprint football team has already been on campus for more than a week now and opened their season with the annual alumni game on Sunday. This is the team’s second year with coach Sean Morey at the helm, and the team will look for its first win with their new coach. Morey, an Ivy league product from Brown who was drafted by the Patriots and whose stops in the NFL included the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles, will look to continue the team's improvement during his tenure after seven Tigers were recognized as All-CSFL selections.The varsity schedule looks more favorable this year. After opening up their season on the road against the Chestnut Hill Griffins, the team will return to Princeton for a tough home match up against Army. They then go back on the road to face Ivy League rivals Cornell and Penn before finishing the season at home with another game against Chestnut Hill.The hope for improvement this year lays mainly on the shoulders of the offense. Princeton sprint football only scored 13 points over five games last season compared to the opponents' 282. Those two touchdowns were both passes, as the team’s attack was dominated last year by passing. In fact, the running game actually averaged negative rushing yards per game last year. As weigh-ins approach for the team, hopefully this year’s offensive line will have beefed up to improve their run-blocking ability.With eight incoming freshmen on the roster, there is plenty of potential for new playmakers on both side of the ball. The defense will need new talent and old to shore up its run defense, which was gashed for 5.7 yards per carry last season and gave up 26 rushing touchdowns. Look to see the sprint team in their three home games this season. The home opener will be Friday, Sept. 25, in Princeton Stadium at 7 p.m.

With the baseball postseason approaching, the Daily Princetonian thought it might be interesting to look at one of Princeton’s own who is currently influencing the big leagues. We interviewed Mark Shapiro ’89, a former Princeton football player, former general manager and president of the Cleveland Indians, and soon-to-be president of the Toronto Blue Jays.

We’re quickly approaching your favorite sportswriter’s favorite time of the year, and it doesn’t have that much to do with Christmas (though high on my list is Christmas dinner — the thought of a home-cooked meal has carried me through these last two weeks). December, as some of you may know, is bowl season for college football. Each and every year, some of the best teams in the country were chosen to duke it out in one last game. For two weeks, college football fans across America were treated to an all-you-can-watch bonanza that ultimately culminates in the BCS National Championship in early January. Unlike in most sports, the participants in the championship match were decided not by playoffs but by a selection committee, whose chosen teams would automatically be thrust into the game.
