FROM KEITH GROLLER


For the third consecutive Saturday, Lehigh fought back from behind to post an amazing win.
This time it was a rally from a 22-3 halftime deficit that prompted all of the head-shaking.
Sean Farrell's 1-yard TD run with 2:45 left providing the winning points in a 29-28 win at Princeton as the Mountain Hawks capped another remarkable come-from-behind performance and improved to 3-0 with New Hampshire coming to Goodman Stadium next Saturday.
Lehigh, ranked No. 18 and 22 in the nation in the FCS polls coming in, will likely stay in the top-25 for another week.
In making the stirring comeback, Lehigh got a record-setting performance from senior quarterback Brandon Bialkowski, who completed a school single-game record 42 passes. He was 42 for 57 passing for 430 yards and two touchdowns.
His favorite target was again Lee Kurfis, who caught 13 passes for 152 yards. Palisades grad Josh Parris chipped in six catches for 87 yards.
Lehigh's offense was limited to a field goal and 204 yards of offense in the first half, but wound up with 513 yards with their four-touchdown second half.

Lehigh  -- 0- 3 - 13 - 13 -- 29
Princeton 8 - 14 - 0 -7 --- 28
