Kente Edwards ran for 150 yards and three touchdowns and Lafayette spoiled Columbia's season opener 38-14 on Friday night. Edwards scored on runs of 13, 3 and 3 yards. The last touchdown was critical as it capped a 14-play, 75-yard drive that chewed up more than 5 1/2 minutes to open the second half and put the Leopards ahead 24-14. Two snaps later Kevin Dodard picked off Chase Goodwin and Lafayette capitalized with the first of two 1-yard touchdown runs by Ethan Weber. Weber finished with 57 yards as the Leopards piled up 232 yards on the ground.

Columbia then put together a 13-play drive but was stopped on five straight plays from the 1-yard line. Dean DeNobile was 14-of-17 passing for 166 yards for Lafayette (3-1). Edwards has rushed for 532 yards and 10 touchdowns in the last three games. Goodwin was 15 of 34 for 195 yards with a touchdown and interception for Columbia, which is coming off a share of its first Ivy League title in 63 years. Griffin Johnson had a rushing touchdown and Hutch Crow had a receiving touchdown for the Lions. - AP College Football

Kente Edwards had 255 yards on the ground and four touchdowns as Lafayette beat Georgetown 42-37 on Saturday. Edwards dashed 70 yards for a Leopards' touchdown on their first offensive snap to tie the game at 7 in the first quarter. Dean DeNobile was sacked for a 9-yard loss in the red zone, fumbling on the play, and Naiteitei Mose returned it a program-record 90 yards for a touchdown. Savion Hart tied the game 21-all with a 1-yard touchdown run, and DeNobile was intercepted to end the half.

In the third quarter, DeNobile fumbled again on a sack, with Cody Pham recovering to set up a 32-yard field goal by Thomas Anderson that gave Georgetown the lead. Edwards answered with a 28-yard touchdown run, but Hart responded with his second score of the day - a 3-yard rush up the middle - to put the Hoyas back in front, 31-28. Edwards then gave Lafayette the lead once again with a 1-yard touchdown run on fourth down and put the game away with a 51-yard touchdown run to go up 42-31 in the fourth. Danny Lauter threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Grimes in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter that got Georgetown within 42-37. - AP College Football

Freshman Jamar Curtis ran 71 yards for a first-quarter touchdown, Billy Shaeffer returned an interception 50 yards for a score 57 seconds later and that was enough for Lafayette to beat Lehigh 14-11 on Saturday. Curtis' long scoring run gave Lafayette (3-8, 3-3 Patriot League) a 7-0 lead with 7:59 left in the opening quarter. Shaeffer picked off a pass from Dante Perri less than a minute later and the Leopards' defense made the two quick scores stand up.
