THE GAME • The Fordham University Rams open their 2015 season, the 116th varsity season at Rose Hill, by traveling to Army West Point to face the Army West Point Black Knights in Michie Stadium on Friday, September 4 at 7:00 p.m. THE SERIES • This will be the fifth meeting between Fordham and Army West Point on the gridiron • The Black Knights have won the previous four matchups • Army won last year’s game, 42-31, in Michie Stadium on November 22 FORDHAM IN SEASON OPENERS • The Fordham University Rams are 48-29 all-time in season openers since 1920, 9-17 since moving to the NCAA FCS in 1989 • Last year’s season-opening win over Saint Francis was Fordham’s third straight, after the Rams had dropped three straight opening day games. • On Jack Coffey Field, Fordham is 22-24 since 1970 in home openers but the Rams have won their past six home openers, including the win over Saint Francis last year. MOORHEAD LOOKING TO WIN FOURTH STRAIGHT OPENER • Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead is looking to become the first Fordham mentor to win his first four season openers since Jim Crowley won the season opener in each of his first four years at the helm from 1933-36. MOORHEAD BEST RECORD FIRST THREE YEARS • Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead has a 29-10 record in his first three years at Fordham, the best record for any head football coach at Fordham over his first three years. • • •

The lone player to have attempted a pass in a college game is punter Joe Pavlik, who threw a touchdown pass to Marc DeSisto last year at Army. It's not just quarterback where the Rams lack experience. Fordham also does not have a player on the roster who has attempted a field goal or extra point in a college game. www.fordhamsports.com 2002, 2007 & 2014 Patriot League Champions

Fordham Appeared in the First Televised College Football Game 76 Years Ago
4
On September 30, 1939, Fordham hosted Waynesburg College at Triboro Stadium on Randall’s Island. The game was the season opener for the Rams, who beat Waynesburg, 34-7. Announcer Bill Stern called the contest over station W2XBS (now WNBC) as a demonstration of this new medium at the World’s Fair. Two iconoscope cameras, which had just been patented by RCA, were used to televise the game with the images being sent to a relay station 10 miles from the stadium and then, by cable, to the top of the Empire State Building, where a large transmitter broadcast the game to the lucky few who owned a television in those days. A top-of-the-line set in 1939, a Clifton, sold for about $600. Notable Fordham players who appeared in the game include Len Eshmont and Dominic Principe, who went on to play in the professional ranks, as well as Ralph Friegden, father of former Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen, who scored twice in the game and Donald Lambeau - son of Green Bay Packer legend Earl Louis "Curly" Lambeau.

MOORHEAD LOOKING TO WIN FOURTH STRAIGHT OPENER • Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead is looking to become the first Fordham mentor to win his first four season openers since Jim Crowley won the season opener in each of his first four years at the helm from 1933-36. MOORHEAD BEST RECORD FIRST THREE YEARS • Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead has a 29-10 record in his first three years at Fordham, the best record for any head football coach at Fordham over his first three years. • • •
NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED The Fordham Rams enter the 2015 season without a quarterback on the roster who has attempted a pass in a college game. The lone player to have attempted a pass in a college game is punter Joe Pavlik, who threw a touchdown pass to Marc DeSisto last year at Army. It's not just quarterback where the Rams lack experience. Fordham also does not have a player on the roster who has attempted a field goal or extra point in a college game. www.fordhamsports.com 2002, 2007 & 2014 Patriot League Champions

Fordham Appeared in the First Televised College Football Game 76 Years Ago
4
On September 30, 1939, Fordham hosted Waynesburg College at Triboro Stadium on Randall’s Island. The game was the season opener for the Rams, who beat Waynesburg, 34-7. Announcer Bill Stern called the contest over station W2XBS (now WNBC) as a demonstration of this new medium at the World’s Fair. Two iconoscope cameras, which had just been patented by RCA, were used to televise the game with the images being sent to a relay station 10 miles from the stadium and then, by cable, to the top of the Empire State Building, where a large transmitter broadcast the game to the lucky few who owned a television in those days. A top-of-the-line set in 1939, a Clifton, sold for about $600. Notable Fordham players who appeared in the game include Len Eshmont and Dominic Principe, who went on to play in the professional ranks, as well as Ralph Friegden, father of former Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen, who scored twice in the game and Donald Lambeau - son of Green Bay Packer legend Earl Louis "Curly" Lambeau.
