Preseason

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]
