Engineers blow by the Tribe
A new "Look"
offense propels
41-37 win
By STEVE MEST
South Mountaineer Editor
Take away, and Lehigh shall find a
way.
Forced to play without tailback
Larry Arico and receiver Rich Clark,
Lehigh showed amazing resiliency —
and depth at key positions—in running
over William and Mary 41 -37 Saturday
at Goodman Stadium for its seventh
victory of the 1991 season.
With the win, the 20th-ranked
Engineers (7-1) accomplished two
moral v ictories: they defeated the Tribe
for the first time in eight tries, and they
shook off ghosts lingering from the
previous week's bitter loss to Holy
Cross.
Any concerns over the mental state
of Lehigh following the oh-so-close
loss to the Crusaders were erased
without a trace by Lehigh's
performance Saturday. Offensive
standards were again threatened by
Lehigh head coach Hank Small's
brilliant play-calling, the arm of senior
quarterback Glenn Kempa and multi-
talented tailback Mark Lookenbill.
Lookenbill, again subbing for Arico
who is out with a hip pointer sustained
against Holy Cross, tore through the
Tribe defense for 345 yards in total
offense and four touchdowns, the four
scores the most by a Patriot League
player in 1991. The junior from
Littlestown, PA rushed 34 times for 205
yards and three touchdowns and caught
12 passes for 137 yards and one
touchdown and was named ECAC and
Patriot League Offensive Player of the
week.
Kempa, the third-ranked passer in
Division I-AA coming into the game,
again put up mind boggling statistics,
completing 34 of 44 passes for 421 yards

and three touchdowns. Kempa's three
scoring passes moved his season total to
26, tying the Lehigh record set by Todd
Brunner in 1989. Kempa has 2,762 yards
passing on the year. Amazingly, Kempa
played much of the game hurt, his shoulder
wrapped due to a hit by a Tribe defensive
lineman in the second quarter.
"That," Small said of Kempa, "was one
of the most amazing performances I've
seen since I've been coaching."
Senior wideout Horace Hamm also had
another standout performance, hooking
up with Kempa 11 times for 168 yards as
well as consecutive touchdowns, of 37 and
14 yard's, in the third quarter which put
Lehigh ahead to stay.
All this without Arico and Clark, two
men who had helped pace
Lehigh offensively for
the first five games of the
year.
"I can't say enough
about these kids," Small
said. This is without a
doubt the finest win
we've had, and coming
back after last week and
with all the injuries...their
hearts are so big, the
desire so great — I'm
j ust so proud to be arou nd
them."
William and Mary
(4-5) took a 16-14 lead at
12:51 of the third quarter
on a Robert Green two-
yard touchdown run. But
Lehigh punter Craig
Melograno quickly
swung the momentum
back in Lehigh's favor
when he converted a fake
punt attempt on fourth
down two minutes later.
His 21-yard run gave
Lehigh a first down and
on the ensuing play,
Kempa hit Hamm for a
37-yard touchdown and
Lehigh regained the lead
at 10:20.
Hamm and Kempa again connected with
2:51 left in the third quarter, this time for 14
yards on the score, and the Engineers took a 27-
16 lead.
In the fourth quarter, the teams basically
swapped touchdowns. William and Mary
narrowed the gap to 27-24 at 14:17 of the fourth
