The 2024 Lehigh Mountain Hawks football team will represent Lehigh University as a member of the Patriot League during the 2024 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Mountain Hawks are led by second-year head coach Kevin Cahill and will play home games at Goodman Stadium in Lower Saucon, Pennsylvania.
In Lehigh's previous season, the Mountain Hawks' roster was very senior heavy, with most of the team's starting players graduating. [1] As such there is an equally large oncoming group of Freshmen, including two quarterbacks Matt Machalik of Palmerton and Hayden Johnson of Manheim Township, as well as Senior QB Matt Rauscher and fifth-year QB Dante Perri. [1] Additionally, coach Cahill has highlighted the new freshmen defenders, including Broc Bender, second-team all-state linebacker from Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia. [1]

The season opener and the first time that the teams have met since 1995 and the first time Lehigh has played an FBS team since 2018. [4] In the opening drive the Black Knights performed a 35-yard fake punt followed by a 1-yard touchdown by Bryson Daily. [5] The mountain hawks would respond the next drive by scoring in a seven-play drive off an 18-yard rushing touchdown by Luke Yoder. [5] [6] However, Army would then score on back to back drives with rushing touchdowns from Daily and Kanye Udoh and hold Lehigh scoreless, making it 21–7 at the half. [5] Army would score early in the third with a 3-yeard run from Noah Short, and would score twice in the fourth quarter to finish the game 42–7. [6] Army would hold Lehigh scoreless in the second half, mostly due to two interceptions by Lehigh quarterback Hayden Johnson deep in Army territory. [5] Lehigh would have three quarterbacks take snaps in an effort to confuse Army, with Dante Perri, Matt Machalik and Hayden Johnson all being used in different packages. [5]

Seeking to bounce back from their defeat by Army, Lehigh started their home opener by scoring first off a 16-yard pass from Dante Perri to wide receiver Geoffrey Jamiel, following with two more touchdowns to take a 21–0 lead only 5 minutes into the game. [7] The Mountain Hawks would continue their strong start with first-year Hayden Johnson scoring his first collegiate touchdown for a 28–0 lead, followed by two more touchdowns by Lehigh to make it 42–0 at the half. [8] [7] This is the first time that Lehigh scored 42 points before halftime since their 2016 season against Yale. [7] Lehigh would score again to start the third quarter to make the lead 49–0 before the Seahawks scored two late touchdowns to finish the game. [7] Wagner had three turnovers, including a pick-six, finishing the game with 249 yards of total offense. [8] This was Lehigh's largest margin of victory in 17 years, since its 2007 45–0 win against Georgetown, and the most points scored since its 2018 season against Bucknell. [9] Junior receiver Geoffrey Jamiel put him over 100 career receptions and 1,000 receiving yards during the game, while juniors Tyler Ochojski and Matt Spatny secured Lehigh's first two sacks of the season. [9] Junior defensive back Nick Peltekian said “This should be the standard for this team every week.” [7] The game was also head coach Kevin Cahill's first ever home win. [9]
