Next Week:
Colgate vs. Furman
Coastal Carolina at Monmouth

LET'S GO 'GATE!

[TheValleyRaider]

First ever meeting between these two teams

Colgate Head Coach Dick Biddle needs 1 win to become Colgate's all-time winningest coach. His 95 wins is tied with the legendary Andy Kerr. This is Biddle's third shot at Win #96. Colgate lost at Holy Cross to end the 2007 season, then lost again in last week's 2008 opener at Stony Brook

Jordan Scott returns from suspension. He is looking for his 14th consecutive 100 yard game, his 13 already being the school record. Scott needs 748 yards to become Colgate's all-time leading rusher

According to Colgate's notes, Carlton Walker gets the start at Defensive Tackle over Jim Meara. The only other changes are Greg Sullivan at QB (replacing Alex Relph-injury) and Scott at TB

[TheValleyRaider]

Heat sounds like it could be a factor. It is in the 90s and muggy, apparently

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate will recieve the kickoff

The kick by Coastal is short, taken by an upback at the 19, gets up to the 23. 1st and 10 Raiders

We are underway!

Colgate 0
Coastal Carolina 0
Start 1st

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

This is a very interesting game for Colgate....

[TheValleyRaider]

Drive was moving well, but Sullivan makes a bad read and it's INTERCEPTED. Whitman Reese makes the pick, but fumbled it. CCU recovered at the 19. 1st and 10 Chanticleers

0-0
11:28 1st

MacDowell under center for CCU

9:45 1st

[TheValleyRaider]

4th and 5 from the 33 for Colgate, pass to Rosnick is close to a 1st, and it is SHORT. Turnover on Downs. Radio guys say he got a particularly bad spot, but them's the breaks. 1st and 10 CCU on their 29

[TheValleyRaider]

Richardson came in after the TO, the pass is overthrown, and it's 4th down. Durham comes in for the FG attempt, 25 yarder is GOOD. Almost blocked by Marshall, but CCU breaks the ice

3-0 Coastal Carolina
4:47 1st

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Better than given up a TD. Colgate can't afford another slow start.

[bodoyle]

3-0 CCU

We brought in **** on 3rd and goal and removed our mobile QB. Our WR was wide open and **** threw it out of the endzone! xbangx xbangx xbangx xbangx xbangx xbangx

We brought in **** on 3rd and goal and removed our mobile QB. Our WR was wide open and **** threw it out of the endzone! xbangx xbangx xbangx xbangx xbangx xbangx

Who's QB for CCU? Wally Richardson's brother? I actually thought CCU looked fairly athletic against PSU last week.

[TheValleyRaider]

A heavy dose of Jordan Scott is stalled down at the 13. Stein will come on to kick when the game resumes

Colgate 0
Coastal Carolina 3
End 1st

[bodoyle]

Go: Zack MacDowell the Wake Forest transfer got the nod thank God. Then on 3rd and goal we put **** in for no reason.

3-3
12:26 2nd

[bodoyle]

Our DLine is pathetic.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Our DLine is pathetic.

My guess is Biddle has returned to running Scott up the middle 40 times a game?

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate gets up to midfield before CCU tightens up. Stein into punt from their 43. Kick to Norman, taken at the 21, returned up to the 25. 1st and 10 Chants

3-3
9:07 2nd

[TheValleyRaider]

Coastal can only manage a 3 and out, good stand by the defense. Erdman into punt. The kick gets off, Simonds FUMBLE, and it's a pile. The ball belongs to Coastal! Huge turnover. 1st and 10 CCU at the Colgate 38

How many turnovers does Colgate have so far this year? They seem to turn the ball over alot.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate holds, even pushes CCU back to the 40. 4th down upcoming, and Erdman to punt again. The kick is downed at the 1 after bouncing at the 10. Another great bounce for Coastal. 1st and 10 Raiders from their 1

3-3
5:56 2nd

[TheValleyRaider]

How many turnovers does Colgate have so far this year? They seem to turn the ball over alot.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

I think my pick to win the PL will do well to have a winning season this year. Colgate seems to have some serious issues.

[TheValleyRaider]

what was your RB suspended for last week?
Off-field incident

He and another team member were caught entering another student's room looking for money. They plead guilty to misdemeanors, spent 21 days in jail, got the 1 game suspension, and are on probation at school

[bodoyle]

Off-field incident

He and another team member were caught entering another student's room looking for money. They plead guilty to misdemeanors, spent 21 days in jail, got the 1 game suspension, and are on probation at school

Damn all that and only 1 game suspension? I would have assumed 21 days in jail would mean more time missed?

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate is staring 0-2 in the face for the first time since 2002

The turnovers are killing them today. They clearly don't have enough confidence in Sullivan to throw a lot, and it appears Coastal has really keyed on Scott. The offense needs a good, sustained drive that end in 7. Too many drives stalling and leading to FGs. Not out of it yet, but they need to show a lot more

[bodoyle]

CCU gets the ball to start the 3rd Q.

[TheValleyRaider]

Damn all that and only 1 game suspension? I would have assumed 21 days in jail would mean more time missed?

Well, jail time was part of the plea bargain, as misdemeanors don't carry a sentence, so technically it was excessive punishment, presumably in exchange for not being kicked off the team, or at least a longer suspension xtwocentsx

VR: doesn't everyone key in on him? Yes the turnovers are killing you guys. I would love to see MacDowell (our QB) pull the ball out of our RBs gut a few times and run himself to keep you guys more honest.

[TheValleyRaider]

Normally, yes, but there is no passing game to speak of to even remotely take the pressure off

We were getting yards early, the O-Line was blowing your guys off the line of scrimmage. But those holes are starting to get filled in, and there's little hope we can gleam from Sullivan. Some decision-making, plus, it sounds like your guys are covering pretty well

[TheValleyRaider]

The radio guys have said it a bit better. Sullivan is a nice 5 for 9, but for only 28 yards xeekx

Really, we might as well keep running since we get as many yards per run play as through the pass

[TheValleyRaider]

Set to begin the 2nd Half

Stein to kick it off. Kick taken at the 20, gets up the 46

1st and 10 Coastal at their 46

16-3 Coastal Carolina
14:53 3rd

[bodoyle]

missed 39yarder. plenty of distance but hooked it.

[TheValleyRaider]

Coastal uses some big plays to get deep into Colgate territory, but a bad snap stalls the drive. Durham in for the FG attempt. 39 yard kick is up and WIDE RIGHT, NO GOOD!

1st and 10 Colgate at their 22. Huge break

16-3 Coastal Carolina
12:36 3rd

[bodoyle]

This is the 1st quarter all over again. :(:(:(:(

[TheValleyRaider]

Raiders get up to midfield, and cannot convert another 3rd down. Stein in for the punt. Kick is taken by Anderson at the 5, returned to the 13. 1st and 10 Chanticleers

16-3 Coastal Carolina
8:39 3rd

[bodoyle]

99 rushing, 99 passing for CCU

great balance.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate defense holds up, forces a 3-and-Out. Punt from Erdman taken by Simonds, returned to the Coastal 47. 1st and 10 Raiders. Big opportunity right here

16-3 Coastal Carolina
7:14 3rd

[coastalalum]

big 4th and 1....any doubt where this one is going?

[TheValleyRaider]

4th down for Colgate at the Coastal 38, they're going for it

Coastal wants a minute to consider their defense, takes TimeOut #1

16-3 Coastal Carolina
5:26 3rd

[TheValleyRaider]

Handoff goes to Scott, easily picks up the 1st

[furman94]

in what direction is the game headed? CCU or Colgate win?

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate stalls at the 37, but on 4th and 14 they'll go for it. Sullivan deep for Simonds, caught out of bounds. TURNOVER ON DOWNS. 1st and 10 Coastal at their 37

16-3 Coastal Carolina
3:32 3rd

[bodoyle]

16-3 CCU after 3

[TheValleyRaider]

[bodoyle]

Big 3rd and 6 here for us. We need this. No more FG attempts.

[bodoyle]

4th and 2

FG time

argh

19-3 CCU early 4th

[TheValleyRaider]

Childers can't get away from the rush, 4th down coming. Durham's FG attempt is up and GOOD

19-3 Coastal Carolina
14:16 4th

[TheValleyRaider]

Kickoff coming from Pallassino. Taken by Jackson at the 5, returned up to the 37. 1st and 10 Raiders

Colgate desperately needs a score here

19-3 Coastal Carolina
14:10 4th

[bodoyle]

19-9 CCU

[bodoyle]

Going for 2...stopped

bs flag thrown.

qb hit as he threw and they call roughing the passer.

You can thank the refs for that.

19-11

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate finally shows offensive life, gets down to the goalline and Scott eventually punches it in, TOUCHDOWN! Going for 2, 4 wideouts, quick pass, out of bounds, but a late hit, Roughing the Passer. Sullivan keeps it himself, untouched, the conversion is GOOD!

19-11 Coastal Carolina
9:22 4th

[bodoyle]

Game postponed due to lightning with 9:22 left.

[coastalalum]

ahhhh...a steamy, hot day followed by an afternoon thunderstorm. reminds me of my days at the beach. xnodx xnodx

[TheValleyRaider]

As bodoyle mentioned, they are under delay due to Lightning

We had one of these last year, at home against Bucknell. Colgate trailed at the time, and came back to score the winning TD after the delay. Fate... xwhistlex xprayx

[bodoyle]

little string coming from the south west towards the stadium.

Sorry. That's a nice story and all but it won't happen this time. xnonox xnonox xnodx

[PantherRob82]

You guys need to stop delaying the poll. ;)

[bodoyle]

What happens if the game is called due to weather?

toothpaste has to leave at 6pm.

[TheValleyRaider]

Didn't Hanna miss Conway altogether yesterday?

It would figure that after all the talk about the game, now it storms xlolx xoopsx

[TheValleyRaider]

What happens if the game is called due to weather?

toothpaste has to leave at 6pm.

Colgate radio has AD Roach on

Basically, it appears the charter flight will leave when we tell it to (or at least, "they won't leave at 6"), so we're sticking around until the end

It'd also have to continue storming for approximately the next 6 hours for them to call the game

You won't get this game that easily xnonox xlolx xrotatehx

[TheValleyRaider]

We're not trying to get out of this. We're going to score after you guys kick off to us so don't worry you will be down 15 with abuot 5 minutes to go.

Any word on the delay?

[LCFan21]

Congrats Hoyas! Nice start. When are they expecting this string of storms to pass?

[furman94]

score??

[TheValleyRaider]

score??

Currently 19-11 Coastal Carolina

9:22 to play in the 4th

Colgate just scored a TD and converted for 2, so they'll kickoff when the game resumes

Lightning delay started about 45 minutes ago

[bodoyle]

Lightning delay mandates a 30 minute stoppage. There are other severe storms popping behind this one, so it could be a little while.

[bodoyle]

atleast another 10-15 minutes and could be longer.

[bodoyle]

there is a bad cell just north of the stadium and heading that way, another bad cell south west of them but that one should miss them.

[bodoyle]

Word just in 15-20 minutes til game action.

[coastalalum]

they keep breaking into the radio feed. although the guy keeps saying the same thing...15-20 minutes.

[bodoyle]

game starts at 530

[TheValleyRaider]

Stein and the Raiders set up for the kickoff. They'll kick it deep, taken by Sitton at the 8, he falls at the 16. 1st and 10 Chanticleers

You have got to be kidding me! Bad snap and they throw a TD, what a W to pull out of the air. You practice it all the time and rarely ever use it. Congrats Biddle on the 96th W

[Go...gate]

One of the greatest Colgate comebacks ever!!!

[Seawolf97]

What a game! xhurrayx xhurrayx xhurrayx

[bodoyle]

I still dont understand how a qb who grabs the ball with his knee on the ground can get up and throw a pass. either way it doesnt matter. we sucked and played to lose and got what we deserved.

[Go...gate]

Biddle passes Andy Kerr with his 96th career victory.

[DFW HOYA]

PL goes 3-0 against scholarship opponents today.

More Sunday football!

[Go...gate]

Maybe the PL ain't dead after all. :)

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Huge, amazing win for Colgate who was looking at 0-3 in the face. This game might unseat Montana-Cal Poly as game of the week.

[kirkblitz]

Guess theres always next year xrolleyesx

[Go...gate]

Monumental Fourth Quarter for the Red Raiders.

[Go...gate]

Guess theres always next year xrolleyesx

We gotta play again!!! This was great!!

[bodoyle]

if the refs did not screw up the clock snafu, that play never happens. the spike was fumbled with 14 seconds left and they stopped the clock allowing them to get the special teams group on the field lined up and waiting for the ref to start the clock. horrific job by the acc refs. absolutely horrible.

[kirkblitz]

we seriously need a new D coordinator and a Special teams coordinator. we are a utter joke this year will end up being worse then last.

[Go...gate]

Sounds like CCU has a good running game. It's one loss, guys.

[dbackjon]

Colgate pastes Beach chickens...

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Maybe the PL ain't dead after all. :)

This wrapped up a very good weekend for the PL. I remember last year the league got off to a horrible start, not so this year. Next weekend should be even more telling with Furman/Colgate and Lehigh/Villanova.

[TheValleyRaider]

Heck of a weekend, with the Hurricane suspension, the lightning delay, the comeback

Unbelieveable

Congrats to Coastal on a great game. You guys did a great job accomodating us with all the wild weather, and that's a credit to your school. I, at least, wish you the absolute best the rest of the way xbowx xsmileyclapx xbowx xsmileyclapx xbowx

Sounds like CCU has a good running game. It's one loss, guys.

It's 0-2 on the season. It's pathetic defense just standing there on the botched snap. It's pathetic defense that went into prevent allowing 2 td's in 6 minutes. It's horrible special teams missing a PAT and FG. It's horrible offense going vanilla after the weather break.

397 - 304 total yardage advantage for Colgate.

Yeah, but one of the games was PSU at Happy Valley.

I'm guessing the Raiders found their QB? I thought he was moved to TE?

[bodoyle]

Doesn't matter.

CDB says says that it blows his mind when the QB fumbled it, recovered it, they stopped the clock set it at :08 after the special teams came out. Said it would have been very difficult to get the play off if the refs didn't stop it for no reason.

He has no idea why they stopped the call.

People are assigned to cover eligible receivers and they didn't.

Sickening feeling.

They ran an illegal procedure on the drive that wasn't called. Sickening, sickening loss.

Was this game on TV?

[bodoyle]

Was this game on TV?

There is live video (which I watched) for all our home games.

You had 1 WR and your RT move before the ball was snapped and nothing was called.

Tolbert playing GREAT for San Diego Chargers. Bollinger mentioning CC often and what a great story he is and what a great job he is doing.

[Gater]

Was if a fumbled snap or that the qb spiked it off of the running back? If he did spike it off the running back that could be a forward pass. Watching it on the internet (which was hard to see) and listening to the Colgate radio feed it seems like that was the call.

i hope there is some way we can appeal this and get a win xbawlingx

Really....and this was on the last play?

How the Hell did they miss that?

[TheValleyRaider]

I only had the radio, but they talked about how the spike hit a lineman in the back, or seemed to. They seemed convinced there'd be a call about it, but obviously nothing came

Obviously there was no mention about linemen moving at the snap, so that's the first I've heard of it

As for the clock, it seems like that was CCU's timekeeper (or whoever was operating the scoreboard) that was having difficulty getting the time right. The delay there was unfortunately on the stadium, not the refs

[Go...gate]

Whatever happened, after last week, a win, in such adverse conditions, is mighty welcome.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

I wish we had more Sunday football. It was weird to have 3 PL teams playing today, by weird i mean awesome!!

No, not the last play. It was after the 24 yard completion you guys got to get into our territory

TVR: correct it was our timekeeper with the brain fart. Not the refs. The refs never signaled to stop the clock until all hell broke loose.

He went to spike it and he mishandled the snap.

[bodoyle]

Hell it doesn't matter. We played horrible and got what we deserved. Our DL coach needs to find a new job b/c he can't do this.

[Redwyn]

Just got finished reading the game feed. Congrats to Colgate on an incredible game. xbowx

[bodoyle]

Colgate Head Coach Dick Biddle
" We get up there and we are going to cock it, well the quarterback should have let time run off the clock; I think three seconds. What happens is he tries to cock it with 20 something seconds left on the clock, which is wrong, and I really think he fumbled the ball. I think the official blew the call. There were a lot of miscues on our part. The stoppage in the game hurt everybody. That really lends itself to hurting the game of football."

Atleast he's honest.

Biddle is a class act.

Bottom line is that we should play you guys again.

[bodoyle]

Noone will stop us from appealing, but since it wasn't the refs that botched the clock issue, and the game was at home (thus our timekeeper), I don't see this being overturned.

[bodoyle]

Yes he is. No issue with him or your team. You took advantage of the botches by the refs and our timekeeper. You guys have a great RB too. Good luck the rest of the way. Maybe you can get in the playoffs. I'll root for you since we're on the outisde looking in....already. xnonono2x

[CarolinaGirl]

I cannot bring myself to read the recap of this game but I do want to give my xtwocentsx. I'm home and I'm dried off but not feeling any better about this. First of all, congratulations to Colgate. You obviously wanted it more than we did. Aside from the dramatic ending to that game (and there are so many contributing factors involved in that, it was a joke), the officiating was horrible ***game break...HOLY CRAP, Carolina just beat San Diego on the final play of the game!***, we missed two FG AND an extra point. We came out looking good, I thought, but I don't know what happened after the 1st quarter. We knew your QB was hurt and we knew you would run the ball (with that RB, who wouldn't run it???) and we COULD NOT STOP IT!!! We stuffed him a couple of times but not when it counted and gave up 271 yards on the running game! xnonono2x Our linebackers our awful and our D-line in general just can't get it done for some reason.
It's going to be a very long season and now we have a short week before flying up to Monmouth to play them on Saturday.
I know I'm mad and not sure if I'm making much sense. Again, congratulations on your win here.
By the way, tell your team to stay off our chicken emblem mid-field. That was tasteless and tacky!! xnonox

[kirkblitz]

10-2 here we come playoffs!!!!!!!!!

That'd be the first I've ever heard of our guys doing that on the road

It's possible there was some real trash-talk going on, and they felt compelled to do it. I know they sing the fight song at midfield after home games (jumping on our own logo), but obviously you need to be careful on the road

If it was done in a disrespectful way, you can bet Biddle will let them know about it soon enough

[Gater]

Biddle is a good man.
One question is, does Colgate get the field goal off without the clock stopping? It seemed like refs were confused more than anything. If the spike happened with 20 seconds left (per Biddle--hard to know how many seconds were left watching internet feed) and it was a fumble recovered by Colgate, you could potentially get the field goal unit on the field for the kick--they were out there as they were setting the ball. It seems like the clock ran down to 8 seconds--as if it were a fumble and then the clock stopped as if it were an incomplete pass. If the ruled incomplete pass happened with 8 seconds left and should have been a fumble there is no way Colgate gets the field goal off.

Either way, incredibly frustrating for Costal and an incredible win for Colgate. Good luck the rest of the way.

fumbled spike was with :14 left. They "figured out" it only takes 5.6 seconds to get the ball, spot it, get the colgate offense off the field, and get the special teams out there. I guess Colgate has a team of world class sprinters. Horrible call by the refs. Congrats to Colgate.

I saw them celebrating in the endzone they scored in, but that was it. I turned it off after that. Maybe they should celebrate on our logo. Get our guys pissed. Maybe they will actually do something the rest of the season then!

Not happy to hear this. Not at all what I have come to expect from Colgate teams in almost a half-century. :( xsmhx

If there were 14 seconds left when it was snapped and it was a fumble Colgate does not get the field goal off.
Good luck the rest of the way.

Right. I remember we did it at Army once (1987) but the players stood at midfield (where the Army "A" was located) while the pep band played the Alma Mater. There was no tomfoolery like jumping up and down and such.

[bodoyle]

Thanks Gater. Yes there were :14 seconds left, but oh well can't change it now.

We ran, passed, kicked, returned, had more turnovers forced than Colgate and still lossed. ARGH

CCU:4.8 y/rush, 10.8 ypc, 5.2 ypp, 41.2 y/punt, 7.7 y/punt return
Colgate: 4.7 y/rush, 8.4 ypc, 4.8 ypp 40.2 y/punt, 3.5 y/punt return

Ditto that. Good luck to CCU against Monmouth this week and throughout the rest of the season.

[Uncle Buck]

Bottom line, sometimes bad officiating is part of the game, as much as that sucks. CCU could appeal and the refs may get a stern letter, but they would not take a W from Colgate.

I agree - Coastal should have stopped Colgate from scoring 20 unanswered points and the officiating wouldn't have mattered.

[CarolinaGirl]

It happened twice. The first time was when they finished warming up at their end of the field after the delay. The entire team gathered at the middle of the field (directly on the emblem) and jumped up and down getting fired up for the rest of the game. I thought that would fire OUR players up. I guess not...xsmhx
When the game was over after that last play, they all ran out to mid-field, pointing at it for the post game hand shake. They were in a perfect line, turned and ran over the emblem to our team.
Maybe my words cannot accurately describe it but it instantly reminded me of TO and the Dallas incident back in the day when he played for the 49ers.

If the Colgate players spent Saturday night in Myrtle Beach, make sure they get checked before going to classes tomorrow. They have a particularly virulent strain of gonnorhea there, central NY doesn't need an outbreak.

That is due to Marquel Willis the transfer from citadel. Those dirty mo's bring baggge from cid.

[Franks Tanks]

I still dont understand how a qb who grabs the ball with his knee on the ground can get up and throw a pass. either way it doesnt matter. we sucked and played to lose and got what we deserved.


When you are the holder on a FG you can absolutely do this. Once the holder recieves (or drops) the snap he can get up and run or pass.
