Fordham Football

Fordham outlasted Columbia Saturday afternoon 20-13, claiming its third consecutive Liberty Cup title. In the 11th renewal of the Cup, it was the Rams defense who came up big near the end on Lions QB Sean Brackett. A key penalty against Brackett occurred when he threw a touchdown pass on fourth down with under 2 minutes to go, but his foot was over the line of scrimmage and Fordham regained possession and ran out the clock.

The Rams came out slow in their third game of the season against the Cornell Big Red, but the offense came out strong in the second half to send the Cornell Big Red back to Ithaca with a loss. Despite scoring only 6 points at halftime, The Rams put 34 points on the board, and held the potent Big Red offense to just 27.

The Fordham Rams 2012 season is off to a good start. Following a 55-0 beat down at home of the Lock Haven University Bald Eagles, the Rams held the lead at halftime before falling on the road to the Villanova Wildcats 28-13.

Below is the first edition of Monday Night Quarterback with new head coach Joe Moorhead. Mike Watts and I ask Coach Moorhead about many different aspects of the team’s start to the season, and we also look ahead to this weekend’s Homecoming game against the Cornell Big Red.
