Colgate at Wagner, Mr. C's Official Game Thread

[Mr. C]

It is a blustery day in Staten Island in the shadow of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, with a few snow flurries falling from the sky as Wagner and Colgate go through pre-game workouts at Hameline Field. Wagner's stadium reminds me a bit of Robert Morris's field in the Pittsburgh suburb of Moon Township., but with a cool view of the Hudson River as it flows into the Atlantic Ocean and, in the distance, Brooklyn.

Wagner officials were as surprised as anyone when the NCAA brackets were announced and the Seahawks were selected for a home game.

This is a matchup of two hot teams. Wagner is coming in with an eight-game winning streak, while Colgate has won seven in a row. It is also a game of potential contrasts, with a strong Wagner defense and a lethal Colgate offense.

We are 30 minutes away from kickoff. Please feel free to comment, or questions as this one plays out.

[Mr. C]

It is a cozy setting here in the Hameline Field press box, but I'm just glad to be indoors on a somewhat raw day in greater New York.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Snow. Good sign for Colgate, where Snow is a rite of passage.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Hopefully Colgate gets a win. They worry me in the playoffs though with their style. Outside of 2003 their performances have been dreadful.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

I'll be honest: I think Colgate wins by more than three scores.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I'll be honest: I think Colgate wins by more than three scores.

I don't know. Colgate's offense is obviously very good but so is Wagner's defense. Biddle's playoffs performances overall are just soo bad...

[busybee14]

Defense wins championships.i hope that rings true today.

Just a few flurries, a few flakes. Nothing serious. The last time I was at a Colgate game where there were snow flurries, it didn't turn out so good. Delaware beat the Raiders 40-0 in the 2003 national championship game in Chattanooga, TN.

[Mr. C]

Captains are on the field for the coin toss.

I heard that snow line before

[Mr. C]

Colgate won the toss and deferred its pick to the second half. Wagner will get the ball first.

[Mr. C]

I heard that snow line before

You are remembering the same game I am.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner's defense has only given up more than 28 points in 2 games (38 vs. Monmmouth and 30 vs. Holy Cross). They held FBS Florida Atlantic (with 40+ more schollys) to 7 points and shutout Albany.

On offense, the Sehawks have scored 30+ in 5 of their 11 games. I think 'Gate is in for a tough game on all sides of the ball.

[Mr. C]

Short kick gets caught in the wind and falls at the 15. Talbot returns to the WC 24.

[caribbeanhen]

You are remembering the same game I am. Hens

I think so - 40-0 sound right

When I watched that Wagner-FAU game, little did I know I would be watching the Seahawks in a playoff game.

[caribbeanhen]

no link on firstrow for the game

[Mr. C]

A short run nets 3 and a broken play gets Doscher 4. 3rd and 3.

[Mr. C]

no link on firstrow for the game

Technical difficulties with that up here in the box.

[aceinthehole]

Espn3 pic quality is great


Mine sucks :(

[Mr. C]

Doscher keep nets zero. Punt to the Colgate 32 with the FC.

Any video links other than the espn3 one?

A TV time out for a game televised on the Internet. Nice.

[TheValleyRaider]

Nice first series from the defense. Wind is definitely playing with the ball. I wonder if this game ends up turning on a muffed kick...

[aceinthehole]

I don't think NEC Front Row is streaming the game - it is a NCAA game, I don't think the NEC has broadcast rights.

[Mr. C]

Not that I'm aware of. ESPN has the rights.

[aceinthehole]

How's the crowd?

[Mr. C]

McCarney rolls out and is hit after a 3-yard rush.

[Mr. C]

Late decision to keep on the zone read buy McCarney to the 37.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner defense strikes first - INT

[aceinthehole]

Docher TD pass!

[TypicalTribe]

Just the start Wagner wanted!

[Mr. C]

Blitz pressure on McCarney on a third down pass. Intercepted by Torian Phillips to the 17 and a first-play TD pass from Doscher to Anthony Carrington on a post makes it 7-0 Wagner with 11:19 left.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner D leads to a short field TD for the Seahawks!

Colgate - 0
Wagner - 7

[Seahawks Fan]

Go Seahawks!

[TheValleyRaider]

Looks like the receiver pulled up slightly, but the throw was high. Tough INT. Not surprised to see the TD follow, but we'll get the ball and get back to work

[Mr. C]

McCarney seemed a bit tentative on his first drive.

[busybee14]

Roll baby!!!

[LuckyKat]

Just tuned in to see the TD pass
allway like to throw for the EZ aftera turnover

[Mr. C]

Looks like the receiver pulled up slightly, but the throw was high. Tough INT. Not surprised to see the TD follow, but we'll get the ball and get back to work

It was almost like McCarney was throwing it to the safety on purpose. Good catch of a ball thrown slightly behind him. McCarney had more time from the rush off the left edge than he though.

[Mr. C]

Nice blocking to set up a kickoff return of 45 yards to the Wagner 49 by DiCicco.

[Mr. C]

Run for 5 yards to the 45 for DiCicco. Nothing for McCord on 2nd down. 3rd and 5

[Mr. C]

McCarney is sacked by Mike Lombardo from behind. Coverage sack. 4th down.

[Mr. C]

FC at the 14 for Wagner. 8:54 left in the first period.

[Mr. C]

Zone read to Williams for one to the 15

[Mr. C]

Play fake and pass to Gibbons is thrown high on the left sideline near the Wagner bench.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Man, Hameline is scheming Colgate very, very well early.

Hameline looked like he got drilled on Colgate's kickoff return. Is he OK?

[Mr. C]

Nice route from Dan Ford on the opposite sideline, but Droscher just misses him near the Wagner 40. Punt is short to the Raider 49.

[caribbeanhen]

A TV time out for a game televised on the Internet. Nice.

but not all of it, even nicer

[Mr. C]

McCord drops a pass in the flat when he looks upfield too soon.

[Mr. C]

Play fake to Nat Bellamy who slips out of the backfield for 16 yards on a pass and catch. McCord smashes to the Wagner 23 on the zone read for 12 yards.

[Mr. C]

McCarney fumbles on the read option on a hit from Lombardo and C.O. Prime on the recovery at the Wagner 20.

[Mr. C]

Williams to the 26. 2nd and 9.

Hameline looked like he got drilled on Colgate's kickoff return. Is he OK?

At least Hameline didn't suffer the fate of Bob Ford last year in the first round, when the Albany coach was hit by one of his own men, tore up his knee and needed surgery. But Ford coached the whole game.

[Mr. C]

After a loss of three, a third and 12 pass goes incomplete. Colgate ball at the 45 after the punt out of bounds.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Hard to picture Raiders held away from the end zone much longer.

[Mr. C]

How's the crowd?

Most of the stands are filled and there is an area in the end zone with a tent filled with VIP seating. Good, but small atmosphere.

[TheValleyRaider]

Defenses both playing well. If we can avoid turning the ball over, I think we'll get our points wearing down their defense, but McCarney needs to stop. Self-evident, sure, but it's still true

[Mr. C]

Hard to picture Raiders held away from the end zone much longer.

Wagner's defense has come big thus far, coming up with some good plays when needed.

[Mr. C]

Nice pass coverage thus far for the Seahawks. Clohessy with a hit on a pass over the middle. Could have been picked. McCarney goes for 4 and is tackled by Lombardo again at the 49. 3rd and 6.

[Mr. C]

McCarney just gets off a pass as he is buried by Jerome Williams on a safety blitz. Complete for a short gain to McCord, who is hit by Lombardo. That kid is everywhere. Punt to Wagner at the 14.

[Mr. C]

Doscher to the Wagner 38 on a nice 24-yard run and slide.

[Mr. C]

A little counter action to Williams moves the ball for 6 to the WC 46 after a 2-yard Doscher run, and Williams with a hard run to the Colgate 47 for the first down.

[Mr. C]

Williams bounces off a tackler and then has a couple nice cuts to the 34.

[Mr. C]

Near disaster for Doscher on a play fake, but Wagner has a guy right there to recover at the 40.

[Mr. C]

First quarter ends.

Wagner 7
Colgate 0

[aceinthehole]

Great first quarter for Wagner. They look solid on both sides of the ball, but a long way to go.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate 0
Wagner 7
End 1st

[Mr. C]

Pretty dominant for Wagner in the first period. 53 rushing yards for the Seahawks.

[Tubakat2014]

Colgate at Wagner: Two sets of amorphous blobs fighting over a small cloud of grey dust.

At least that's what ESPN3's crappy feed is showing me when the connection actually works.

In all seriousness, I can tell this an awesome defensive matchup so far! Wish I could truly watch the game.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Colgate has looked pretty bad in the 1Q, IMO. Two bad TOs, and Wagner could easily be up 14-0.

[danefan]

Wagner defense playing as expected.

Can they hold it together?

[CopperCat]

Wagner playing well. #25 for Wagner has some shifty moves coming out of the backfield, fun to watch thus far.

[Mr. C]

Doscher missed a TD pass to Cody Morgan on 2nd and 16 with an overthrow.

[Mr. C]

3rd and 16. Play clock problem.

[caribbeanhen]

none of todays games in the first row lineup, ESPN3 blackout in full effect....what about the cell phone

[Mr. C]

Trips left motion right to five WRs. Three-man rush is beaten by Doscher, who steps up in the pocket and hits Ford at the Colgate 18.

[Mr. C]

Doscher reads the middle opening up and rushes for 8 to the 10. 2nd and 2.

[Mr. C]

Williams shows power and speed for the 10-yard TD smash.

[Mr. C]

Wagner 14, Colgate 0, 13:17 left in the second period. Nice drive.

[aceinthehole]

Nice run by Williams! Defense playing as expected, but don't underestimate Wagner's offense

Colgate - 0
Wagner - 14

[Mr. C]

Williams is showing surprising agility for his size. He has power, moves and is light on his feet.

[Mr. C]

Wagner just ran over five minutes off the clock on that drive.

[LehighU11]

Colgate looks as bad as they did in the first half against Lehigh. I expect Biddle to make some adjustments by half time.

[Mr. C]

This kind of reminds me of how Wagner punched Albany in the mouth early.

[Seahawks Fan]

Wagner looking real good right now. 14-0

[Mr. C]

Colgate looks as bad as they did in the first half against Lehigh. I expect Biddle to make some adjustments by half time.

Biddle is good at adjustments, but you can't get too far behind a team that plays really good defense.

[CopperCat]

Colgate looks like they need a shot in the arm. Williams dragged half the team into the end zone with him on that TD run.

[busybee14]

Need to tighten up kick return coverage

[Mr. C]

You can tell that Colgate worked hard on film work on kickoff returns. 22 yards for DiCicco to the Colgate 39.

[Mr. C]

False start on Colgate. 1st and 15 from the 34.

[Mr. C]

McCarney fake and read option keep to the 39. 2nd and 10.

[aceinthehole]

Colgate has had great field position all day. If that continues, they won't be out of it at all.

[Mr. C]

McCarney with a hard run to the 45. 3rd and 4 from the 45.

[Mr. C]

McCarney to TE Looney for 12 to the Wagner 43. 1st down.

[Mr. C]

Tight formation and McCord is tackled at the 42. 2nd and 9.

[Mr. C]

McCarney roll out and hits Looney at the Colgate sideline for 12 to the WC 30.

[Mr. C]

McCord goes for 11 and is crunched by Soulemana at the 19.

[Mr. C]

DiCicco runs to the 16 for 3 yards. 2nd and 6.

[LehighU11]

Colgate fell behind 14-0 to Lehigh 2 minutes into the second quarter. Same thing today against Wagner. They will grind away at the Wagner D and pull out a win if they cut out the turnovers.

[Mr. C]

McCarney makes a great fake and moves the ball for 13 to the Wagner 4. 1st and goal.

[Lehigh'98]

Colgate fell behind 14-0 to Lehigh 2 minutes into the second quarter. Same thing today against Wagner. They will grind away at the Wagner D and pull out a win if they cut out the turnovers.

Each game is its own entity. Wagner may be able to control the ball w their running game unlike Lehigh.

[aceinthehole]

Excellent drive by 'gate, they are right back in it

[Mr. C]

McCarney keeps on the read option again and scores from the 4. Wagner 14, Colgate 7. 8:25 left in the half.


9 plays, 61 yards, 4:44 on the drive.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

We have a game.

[LehighU11]

Gate just marched down the field and reminded us how dominant their O is with that talented line and the McCarney/McCord dual threat. Raiders have awoken.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Raiders start slow, finish strong. Where have I heard this before?

[TheValleyRaider]

Great drive for the score, really needed the points. Now let's see if the defense can hold them for a bit

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Very entertaining ball game here. Great watch. That was a hell of hit #2 put on there and Gate just kept driving methodically down the field.

[Mr. C]

Nice grab on the kickoff by Otis Wright, who runs to the Colgate 37.

[Mr. C]

Williams again with a quick burst to the Colgate 45.

[Mr. C]

Doscher gets the play off with one second left on the clock and another inside zone play, this time for Wright to the Colgate 34.

[Mr. C]

And now the read option is open for Doscher to the 28.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner is very explosive on offense as well, they can run and throw.

'gate can pound the ball at will if they want, but if Wagner can control they clock it will help them.

[Mr. C]

Wright zone read to the 26. 3rd and a big 1 here for Wagner.

[Mr. C]

Great play calling. Jet sweep for Williams to the Colgate 13. 1st down with five minutes left in the half.

[Mr. C]

Doscher with some nice reads of blocks for a TD scramble of 13.

[Mr. C]

Wagner 21, Colgate 7, 5:01 left in the half.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner looks much faster - able to get around on the outside and speed burts on the inside. It may be too much for the Colgate D.

[Mr. C]

That was the best drive of the game in terms of play-calling and execution.

[TheValleyRaider]

Defense can't get to the runners. Need to get a better push on 1st downs

[Lehigh Football Nation]

If Colgate doesn't respond here, this might be a long afternoon for the Raiders.

[danefan]

Wagner looks much faster - able to get around on the outside and speed burts on the inside. It may be too much for the Colgate D.

Hameline taking a page out of his mentor's book. It is exactly what Albany did to Colgate. Outside the tackles when you need yards.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Both teams making each other pay for little defensive mistakes too. Wagner got some good footwork out of the QB on that little inprov out of the pass.

[CopperCat]

Wagner ground game looking pretty solid so far. Colgate needs to seal the edge better on those read option plays. Getting burned on the outside a bit.

[Mr. C]

Wagner looks much faster - able to get around on the outside and speed burts on the inside. It may be too much for the Colgate D.

Colgate really needs a score here on the next drive. I agree that Wagner has a speed advantage. If Colgate can't adjust, it could be a long day.

[danefan]

Doscher - the best 50 year old QB in FCS.

[Mr. C]

Arm tackles by Wagner allow Colgate to take the kickoff to the 27.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner needs to slow 'Gate down and keep them out of the end zone before the half.

I don't think they can keep the Raiders from doing some things in the 2nd half, so the goalshas to be to make them eat clock and earn it.

[Mr. C]

McCord breaks a tackle to the 35. 2nd and 2.

[aceinthehole]

Doscher - the best 50 year old QB in FCS.

:)

[Mr. C]

Play-action pass for McCarney to Pavelko to the Colgate 42.

[busybee14]

Doscher - the best 50 year old QB in FCS.

So true!!!!!!and funny

[Mr. C]

Poor tackling and a quick burst by McCord to the Wagner 33.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Hameline taking a page out of his mentor's book. It is exactly what Albany did to Colgate. Outside the tackles when you need yards.

They've done a good job reading what Gate is doing on D it looks like to me cuz they've chosen inside when th Ends are out or they are bringing a LB to the outside and then when they don't they hit the outside corner really well. I think the QB is doing a good job of getting it where there is a lack of manpower.

[Mr. C]

McCarney misreads the zone read and gets zero. 2nd and 10.

[danefan]

This is what happens when you have a QB that can run the spread. One drive the QB keeps. The next drive, the RB gets the majority.

Throw in some short passes and you're in good shape.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner can't afford to do that - give up big running plays. Colgate can smash the ball right down Wagner's throat.

[Mr. C]

Very nice play by Auisis on a loss of 4 for Colgate

[Mr. C]

Good call on the sack of McCarney for Lombardo. McCarney tried to throw the ball away, but was called down on the 11-yard loss. 4th and 26 for Colgate. Time Out Wagner with 1:44 left in the half.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner has a weakness - run against them between the tackles. But they are fast to stop the outside run and they can get to the QB for pressure/sacks.

[LehighU11]

Wagner D looks very solid. As long as Wagner moves the ball for the rest of the game, they'll be in the driver's seat. Lehigh had no second half offense against 'gate, which wore down the LU D.

[caribbeanhen]

NCAA Div 3 playoffs still available on NCAA web site, ah for the good ole days before ESPN3

[Mr. C]

Colgate downs the ball on the punt at the one-yard line. Looked like the coverage guy slid into the end zone. 1:34 left.

[aceinthehole]

great punt - Wagner just has the move the ball outside of the showdow of the uprights.

[Mr. C]

Doscher sneaks for one. Time out Colgate with 1:29 left in the half.

Colgate coaches really want to get something before halftime. Can sense the importance.

[Mr. C]

4th and 9 after a false start on Wagner. Time Out Wagner with 1:19 left in the half to make sure the Seahawk have their blocking scheme down.

[TypicalTribe]

He didn't drop it. It bounced.

Wagner pinned deep for the punt. Smart T.O. by Wagner.

Thanks. I think with a win, Widener draws Mt. Union next next. Collins has a nephew who is a senior starting WR with Mt. Union.

[Mr. C]

Otis Wright was so close to breaking the kickoff return to the 34. Offsides Colgate to the 39. Good field position for Wagner with 1:08 left.

[Mr. C]

Wagner stays on the ground and Williams goes for 3 to the 42.

[Mr. C]

Pass in knocked down by Colgate's Michael Watts. 3rd and 7. 45.7 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

Doscher pass under pressure to David Crawford out of bounds at the Colgate 49. 35.3 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

Doscher scrambles then finds Wiliams deep in the secondary, but the pass sails just over him at about the 20. 27.5 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

Short gain to Carrington on a pass to the 44. 19.9 seconds left. 3rd and 5.

[Mr. C]

Doscher nice scramble out of bounds for 9 to the first down at the Colgate 36. 11 seconds left in the half.

[Mr. C]

Wagner is near field goal range.

[Mr. C]

Doscher over the middle to Morgan at the 29. Time Out, final one for Wagner. 5.1 seconds left. David Lopez has 55-yard range. This one is 46 yards into the wind.

[aceinthehole]

What a drive by Wagner - excellent job adding the FG before the half.

[Mr. C]

Lopez kicks the ball through increasing snow flurries and it drops over the bar and good.

Wagner 24, Colgate 14, halftime.

[TheValleyRaider]

Huge special teams plays keeping us in this game. Going to have to score to open the 2nd half and get back into it, but this is still very much up for grabs

[Seahawks Fan]

Wagner looked good in the first half. Would like to see them turn Doscher loose in the second half. Receivers have been open down the field.

[BisonBohl]

Colgate now dont go wreck my perfect bracket on game 1!

[CopperCat]

Nice kick to end the half by Wagner. Minus the blocked punt they are looking pretty solid.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner's defense gives up just 7 points in the half, but has shown vulnerabilities. However, Colgate's offense has only scored on 1 out of 6 drives in the game. 'gate has turned the ball over twice and has had to punt 3 times.

Wagner's offense scored on 3 out of 4 drives in Q2, but Colgate has forced 4 punts (3 in Q1).

[BisonBacker]

I don't see things in this game ending well for Colgate. Not surprised.

[Mr. C]

Fumbled kickoff for Colgate results in the Raiders starting at the 11.

McCarney keeps on the read option to the 19.

[Mr. C]

McCord tries to cutback on a zone play and Prime stacks him up at the 20. 3rd and 1.

[Mr. C]

McCarney makes a nice read for the first down, but fumbles at the 25. Clohessy on the hit.

[Mr. C]

McCarney fumbles again on the next play and Soulemana runs its back. After an illegal block, Wagner has it at the Seahawk 46.

[md64179]

The colgate QB just cant seem to hold onto the football

[Mr. C]

Flags down on 1st down. Block in the back on WC to the 36. 1st and 20. 12:30 left in the third.

[Mr. C]

Doscher pressured and runs for 2.

[Mr. C]

Williams inside zone to the 43. 3rd and 14. Colgate's LBs cleared out on a jet-sweep fake.

[Mr. C]

Quad formation left, crossing route goes to Ford at midfield. 4th and 6 punt.

[danefan]

Decleater!

[Mr. C]

Punt return looked liked officials missed a big illegal block. Late hit on Wagner. First down for Colgate at the 50. Bug turnabout.

[Mr. C]

McCord fumbles at the end of the play, 2nd down at the 43.

[danefan]

Punt return looked liked officials missed a big illegal block. Late hit on Wagner. First down for Colgate at the 50. Bug turnabout.

Looked like a legal hit online.

[Mr. C]

McCarney missed an open Bellamy on a nice play fake. 3rd and 3.

[aceinthehole]

Gate can run, but they have very little passing game

[Mr. C]

High throw Morrison great first-down catch at the WC 34.

[danefan]

Wow!

[Mr. C]

McCarney fumbles again. Wagner ball at the 31. McCarney has 4 turnovers today. Prime with the strip and Clohessy with the cover.

[TheValleyRaider]

Unbelievable

[aceinthehole]

Another fumble - Wagner ball!

[md64179]

WOW

[Nickels]

Another fumble - Wagner ball!xlolx

[SUPharmacist]

Can they afford to leave him in at this point? Not too familiar with the team do they have a capable backup.

[Mr. C]

McCarney has five fumbles, of which Colgate got two back. Bad, bad day for the PL offensive player of the day.

[Mr. C]

Doscher runs for 8.

[Mr. C]

Can they afford to leave him in at this point? Not too familiar with the team do they have a capable backup.

He is the league player of the year.

[Mr. C]

Wright for the first down run to the WC 43.

[Mr. C]

Colgate burned a time out on the video review, BTW.

[Mr. C]

Doscher pass to the 42. 2nd and 11 midway through the third period.

[SUPharmacist]

He is the league player of the year.

Is there still a point where you say his head got him today.

[Pards Rule]

Wow - the Hawks are keying in on the TOs! Is this Wagner first I-AA playoff?

Colgate returns the low line drive punt to the CU 39. Flag down, illegal block moves it to the 25.

[Mr. C]

Wow - the Hawks are keying in on the TOs! Is this Wagner first I-AA playoff?

First time in the playoffs since D-III days for Wagner — which is one of the teams that fell under the "Dayton Rule."

[Mr. C]

Comeback route to Looney for 11. 1st down at the 36.

[Mr. C]

McCord smashes to the 41. 2nd and 5.

[danefan]

Is there still a point where you say his head got him today.

The only chance Colgate has is if McCarney turns this around. No shot without him.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

As bad as Colgate has been, they can come back from a 10-point deficit easily. Saw it November 10th.

[Mr. C]

Blitz package pass to Looney. Great break by Jarrett Dieudonne, who drops a pick six.

[danefan]

As bad as Colgate has been, they can come back from a 10-point deficit easily. Saw it November 10th.

This game is FAR from over.

[Mr. C]

Morrison 1st down catch on the dig route to the WC 45.

[Mr. C]

McCarney read option to the 43. 2nd and 7.

[Mr. C]

Play fake and a dropped pass by McCord. 3rd and 7.

[ccd494]

As bad as Colgate has been, they can come back from a 10-point deficit easily. Saw it November 10th.

But can they do it against a good team?

[Mr. C]

McCarney gets the ball off just before he is buried on a delayed blitz. Complete to the 39. 4th and 4 going for it.

[danefan]

Wagner has played great defense in the second half all year. Offense tends to lock up but the defense has been great.

[Mr. C]

Panic time on another Wagner blitz and Torrian Phillips has the interception at the WC 26. Horrendous decision for McCarney.

[Mr. C]

Wagner has played great defense in the second half all year. Offense tends to lock up but the defense has been great.

McCarney is really having trouble with Wagner's blitz package today for some reason.

[TheValleyRaider]

Mistakes all over the place today. Impressive that we're still in this, but time is running out. Wagner has not allowed any of the big plays that we usually get

[Seahawks Fan]

Wagner should take a shot down the field here. Receivers have been open.

[danefan]

Panic time on another Wagner blitz and Torrian Phillips has the interception at the WC 26. Horrendous decision for McCarney.

Not much difference there between an INT and a turnover on downs. But that could have been a bad play if Wagner had any return.

5th turnover for McCarney today though. Unbelievable.

[Mr. C]

As bad as Colgate has been, they can come back from a 10-point deficit easily. Saw it November 10th.

You saw desperation in Colgate's eyes on the last drive. If Wagner scores a TD on this drive, it's going to be tough to come back against this defense.

[aceinthehole]

Wagner's defense is delivering.

As long as the offense can keep move the ball, and add 1 more score - they are looking good.

[Mr. C]

227 to 226 in total yards right now.

[Mr. C]

Wright with some nice cuts to the WC 43.

[danefan]

McCarney is really having trouble with Wagner's blitz package today for some reason.

They run a lot of delayed blitzes from the secondary and outside backers.

[Mr. C]

They run a lot of delayed blitzes from the secondary and outside backers.

Yep, they sure do and Colgate hasn't been picking them up in the blocking schemes.

[Mr. C]

Short run to the 45. 2nd and 8. Wright strains to the midfield stripe. One more play in the 3rd Quarter.

[furpal87]

Time left? Still 3rd qtr?

[Mr. C]

First down keep by Doscher after a fake to Williams on the jet sweep. Ball at the Colgate 42.

[Mr. C]

Wagner 24
Colgate 14

After Three Periods.

3.032 official attendance today.

[danefan]

I hope Wagner can hold on here. Lots of time left.

Id love to see their defense up against a great offense in EWU.

[Pards Rule]

I sense a Wagner win here!

[Mr. C]

Mr. C is hoping for good traffic to Long Island for part two of his doubleheader as he makes the 70-mile trip to Stony Brook.

[Mr. C]

I sense a Wagner win here!

If Wagner scores a TD here, I think it is going to be tough for Colgate to come back against this defense.
