FOUR PATRIOT LEAGUE TEAMS RECEIVING VOTES IN STATS FCS POLL
Four Patriot League teams were receiving votes in the STATS FCS Poll last week, the most the League has had in the poll this season. Colgate fell out of the top 25 for the first time this season after a heartbreaking loss to Cornell last Saturday. Fordham is also receiving votes after an overtime loss at Monmouth. Lehigh has gotten the attention of voters with three-consecutive decisive wins over Ivy League opponents. Georgetown receives a vote despite falling to No. 19/25 Harvard, 31-17, in a game where the Hoyas forced five turnovers from a Crimson team Harvard has lost an average of just 14.4 turnovers per season over the last five years.
 
WATCHING FOR FALLING RECORDS
With eight touchdowns in the last two weeks, Fordham junior running back Chase Edmonds has elevated himself to second in Patriot League history with 348 career points. He is 10 points shy of former Colgate star running back Jordan Scott (2005-08), who scored 358 points during his career with the Raiders. The Rams will play its Patriot League opener against Lafayette this week. Edmonds rushed for 235 yards on 30 carries and two touchdowns against the Leopards last year.
