Lafayette's athletics communications team has put out a 10-minute preview video for the Leopards home opener against the Lions on Saturday. I have to agree with the hosts' take on the questionable calls at Duke that went against Lafayette in the 1st half that definitely took away a lot of the team's momentum.
The commentators do misname Columbia's new interim head coach as "Mike" Fabish, and it seems like they've mixed up Joe Green and Caden Bell, but there's more value in their summary of some of the top Leopard players.
Oh, and they also remind us that Columbia has never defeated Lafayette in Easton.
For the (correct) record, the Leopards used to be an annual foe for the Lions for decades, but Columbia hasn't played Lafayette since a 42-28 Lions win in 2010 that I documented on my old Columbia blog.
There is also a two-minute video on this page of Lafayette Head Coach John Troxell talking about Columbia.
Lafayette Game Notes
The Leopards have also released their game notes, complete with two-deeps.
That two-deep answers the question about who will be starting at QB: sophomore Dean DeNobile who showed good running ability against Duke Saturday night and slightly less consistent passing talent... but clearly dangerous.
With that running QB in mind and the impressive stats starting RB Jamar Curtis has put up in the first two games, Columbia needs to be ready to defend the run in a big way. Lafayette's receivers are less experienced, and that's another reason to expect a ground-heavy attack.
