LET'S GO 'GATE!

[TheValleyRaider]

This could be a lonely day for me, but maybe some PLers will poke their heads in occasionally to see how it's going

Only one change to report in the Starting 11s from last week. FS Mike Barry is listed as this week's starter over David Morgan. Barry's apparently been fighting an injury, and it's likely they'll rotate in and out as they've done so far this year. No changes to the offensive starters, but Charles Babb is now listed as the backup QB to Greg Sullivan, replacing Fr. Steve Rizzo

[TheValleyRaider]

Fun game, but plenty of ugly. 18 total penalties in the game, 9 for each team

Congrats to Jordan Scott on becoming the Patriot League's all-time leading rusher xhurrayx xhurrayx xhurrayx xhurrayx

He also racked up 241 total yards on the day, breaking another Patriot League record, this one for 200 yard rushing days xhurrayx xhurrayx xhurrayx xhurrayx

Greg Sullivan carried the ball for 136 total yards, making him the 1st Colgate QB to rush for 100 yards since 1998. Some fellow named Ryan Vena xeekx xhurrayx xeekx xhurrayx xeekx xhurrayx xeekx xhurrayx

Pat Simonds needed 64 yards for 1,000 in his career. He wound up with 63, for 999 total xoopsx :o
He'll likely get that mark next week xthumbsupx

Good win for Colgate. They had their backs to the wall on several occasions and made some big plays to get out of it. The rest of the Ivy League should keep an eye on Dartmouth's offense. Jenny made some great touch passes, and really kept them moving downfield

[Ivytalk]

Congrats to the Red Raiders...even though my upset special flamed out!xrolleyesx

I told you guys that Sullivan is a player!

That's a heck of a game for him!

[Green26]

Thank you very much, Valley Raider. Excellent coverage, and much appreciated. The game was much closer than the score. I saw the game at Dartmouth last year, when Colgate came back after being down 0-28 (I think) well into the 3rd Q.

[PeacockRaider]

Diddo That, Thanks Valley Raider, I like to read your pages of comments and get a sense of how the game played out. Great Job!xthumbsupx

[TheValleyRaider]

The thanks are well-appreciated! Glad everyone enjoyed it :)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to update for the next two games. My girlfriend will be visiting this weekend, so I'll have to be otherwise occupied ;). The next weekend, I'll be live and in person at Andy Kerr for the Homecoming game against Georgetown xnodx I can promise being back and fully-invested the next weekend for Princeton and beyond xthumbsupx
