Similar dominance stems from he team’s stellar depth. All starting members of the secondary are seniors, and the old hands have united into a first unit that has not conceded a touchdown in its last three outings.

“We have a veteran defense,” Duberg said. “A lot of us have 14 games under our belt. We have lots of returning starters on both sides of the ball.”

Unfortunately for the Leopards, the prospect of playing at home does not offer much shelter. So far this season, Lafayette has been outscored 105-21 at Fisher Field.

These statistics will surely cause senior running backPaul Stanton, Jr.to lick his lips as he attempts to add on to his 102 yards per game average so far this season.

The same can be said about senior wide receiver Andrew Fischer, who is currently averaging 91 yards per game. Despite sitting out last weekend because of an upper-body injury, Fischer expects to be back in action on Saturday.

But individual accolades aside, the Crimson aims to use this weekend as a clean dry-run for the rest of Ivy League play, which will resume next weekend when Harvard hosts Penn.

“The most important thing for us, going into a non-conference team on a four-game win streak, is to not have a let down,” said Braunecker.
