Fordham’s offense simply cannot be stopped. The Rams tore up Lehigh to the tune of 52 points and 630 total yards in Saturday afternoon’s 52-34 victory.
Redshirt sophomore quarterback Michael Nebrich continued to play like one of the top quarterbacks in the country, completing 26 of 36 passes for 384 yards and four touchdowns. He also had 56 rushing yards on 13 carries with a touchdown.
“He’s the best [quarterback] I’ve seen in a long time,” Lehigh Head Coach Andy Coen said of Nebrich.
Three of Nebrich’s touchdown passes went to junior receiver Sam Ajala.
“Today, the safety on my side, he wasn’t back far enough,” Ajala said. “So we just kept going by him, and Nebrich was throwing great balls.”
With the win, Fordham improved to 6-0 for the first time since 1988, when the Rams were still in Division III.
Fordham travels to Washington, DC next week to take on Georgetown. The Hoyas are 1-4 on year, with their lone win coming over Davidson on Sept. 7.
