The game will be broadcast live on the internet at wfuv.org with Alex Smith and Mike Watts handling the announcing chores and Mack Rosenberg on the sidelines. The game can also been seen online at Fordhamsports.com.
The Rams enter the game looking for their 750th all-time win. Fordham would become the 15th NCAA Division I school to reach the milestone, just the fourth NCAA FCS and the first non-Ivy League institution (Yale, Harvard, Penn and Princeton are the others).
This will be the first meeting between Fordham and Lock Haven on the gridiron. Fordham is 0-1 all-time against schools from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) with a 48-7 loss to Millersville in 1979.
The game will be the first as a head coach for Fordham's Joe Moorhead, who will look to get his head coaching career off to a good start with a victory over Lock Haven. If the Rams win, Moorhead will become the first Fordham head coach to open his tenure on Rose Hill with a win since the Dave Rice-led Rams defeated Iona, 10-0, in 1975 in Rice's debut as the Fordham head coach.
