In Week 2 of the NCAA Football Championship Series, William & Mary Tribe and Lehigh Mountain Hawks face off in a game that has the potential to be named "Game of the Week." Both teams have come into the contest undefeated, with W&M boasting a 2-0 record and Lehigh matching that with a 2-0 tally. The Tribe, led by head coach Mike London, have won 45 games overall, while Lehigh, under the guidance of Rich Nagy, has won 107 career games as a head coach.

William & Mary's offense, led by quarterback Winston Watkins, relies heavily on passing, with Watkins completing 25 passes for 349 yards and freshman receiver Khylil Johnson being a key target. Watkins also runs for 140 yards and has shown his dual-threat ability by rushing for 140 yards. Junior running back Andrew King, who has increased his touches, and Watkins will need to establish a solid ground game to counter Lehigh's formidable defense, which allows fewer than 100 rush yards per game on average.

Lehigh's defense, under the watchful eye of linebacker Harrison Johnson, has been stellar, allowing under 100 rush yards per game. Johnson has recorded 19 stops and has forced a fumble, making him a crucial player in holding down William & Mary's offense. The Mountain Hawks' star running back, Luke Yoder, is a significant threat, having gained 250 yards and scored six touchdowns so far this season. To put up a fight, the Tribe will need to find a way to pressure Lehigh's quarterback, Winston Watkins, and slow down Yoder.
