Fordham, ranked 18th in the latest NCAA FCS Coaches Poll, enters the game with a 7-2 overall record, 3-1 in the Patriot League, after a 59-17 Patriot League win at Bucknell last Saturday, while Lafayette is 3-6 overall on the year, 2-2 in the Patriot League, after a 21-16 League win at Colgate last week.
 
This will be 40th meeting between Fordham and Lafayette on the gridiron. The Leopards lead the all-time series, which started in 1903, 25-13-1, but Fordham took last year's matchup, 42-41, on October 2 in Easton as Tim DeMorat scored from the two with 28 seconds left to provide the winning margin.
