The Bulldogs will be traveling to the Bronx this weekend to take on the Fordham Rams (1-3) at 6 PM ET on Saturday. You can catch the game for free on the Patriot League Network assuming that the network does not crash as it did during the Lehigh contest.
Fordham is coming off of a 45-40 loss to Bryant (a team beaten by Brown two weeks ago), but was without All-American runningback Chase Edmonds. Rams QB Kevin Anderson threw for five touchdowns last week, the same number of touchdowns he threw against Yale last year. Yale lost that game 44-37 despite having more offensive yards and first downs as turnovers proved costly.
This will be a high scoring affair and the last team that has the ball could win. Kevin Anderson has several receiving weapons including TE Isaiah Searight (133 yards, 2 TDs vs. Bryant), WR Corey Caddle (82 yards, 1 TD vs. Bryant), and WR Andrew Prince (52 yards, 2 TDs vs. Bryant). Freshman runningback Zach Davis, who is filling in for the injured Edmonds, rushed for 119 yards on 21 carries. Since 2012, Fordham has scored more than 40 points on 25 occasions. If Chase Edmonds plays this week, his dynamic abilities could tip the scale in Fordham’s favor.
Keys to Victory:
- Win the turnover battle
- Burn the clock with Salter/Dudek
- Keep the pressure on Anderson
- Disrupt passing lanes
With the brutal Ivy schedule ahead of us, it may prove more important to stay healthy than to dominate this contest.

Yale can win this game, cut down on the mental breakdowns. Cut the penalties by half and Yale will be fine. Stop shooting yourselves in the foot, so to speak.!! Defense do what you do organized chaos.!!Get to Anderson make him taste dirt.!! Go Bulldogs
Can anyone explain why this isn’t a home game? We played them in NYC last season. Staying healthy should be the number 1 goal this weekend.
