After breaking a long drought with their first FCS playoff win since 2011, Lehigh is heading back to Idaho for the first time in over three decades. The Mountain Hawks are set to face the No. 8 national seed Idaho Vandals this Saturday at the P1FCU Kibbie Dome in the second round.
The last time these two teams met in Moscow was back in 1993, when Idaho rolled to a lopsided 77-14 victory. While that game may still linger in the memories of longtime Vandals fans, it’s a different ballgame this time around.
Lehigh enters the matchup with a solid 9-3 record, including a 5-1 mark in the Patriot League. The Mountain Hawks showed their mettle in the first round, pulling off a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback to topple a favored Richmond squad.
