WILLIAMSBURG — William & Mary will look to rebound from its first loss of the season when Fordham visits Zable Stadium on Saturday for the Tribe’s first Patriot League home game.
The game, part of W&M’s Family Weekend festivities, kicks off at 6 p.m.
W&M opened the season with wins over No. 8/7 Villanova and Delaware State before falling 44-20 at No. 9/8 Lehigh last week.
The Tribe has made its mark defensively this season, leading the nation in caused turnovers and ranking third in turnover margin.
Quarterback Winston Watkins ranks third in the Patriot League in total offense, while running back Andrew King ranks third in rushing. Wide receiver Kai Austin had 10 catches against Lehigh and ranks second in the conference in receptions.
Linebacker Harrison Johnson leads W&M with 9.0 tackles per game, sixth in the Patriot League.
Fordham is seeking its first win of the season after losses to Colgate and FBS opponents North Dakota State and Coastal Carolina. The Rams have been outscored 107-21 in those games. Saturday will be the first meeting between W&M and Fordham.
Quarterback Gunnar Smith has thrown Fordham’s two offensive touchdowns this season, while defensive back Justin Johnson has recorded a pick-six.
The game will be available on ESPN+, with radio coverage on The Tide 92.3 FM and 107.9 FM and online at TideRadio.com. Tickets are available through W&M Athletics.
W&M’s clear bag and metal detector policies remain in effect at athletic venues. Concessions are cashless this season and accept major credit cards.
