Colgate drives right down the field, ramming it down LC's throats. Russell finishes it off with a 1-yard score!
Could not ask for a better start

Is this working anywhere on the radio? I am "watching" via Gametracker. Colgate's Website seems to be broken, as does -- oddly -- Voy Forums. Thanks.

Kickoff to DiCicco, got a crease, should be gone but somehow bobbles the ball. Managed to hold on to it, but instead of a TD, it's 1st and 10 at the Lafayette 16

Colgate radio is on www.wkxzfm.com/ (http://www.wkxzfm.com/), use the Listen Live button for the pop-up. Can't say for sure it's working, but it's something. I'm watching the video through Lafayette's website for $10, pretty solid broadcast

Thanks. I found it via the radio station's Website, as the 'Gate one is still down. I should have spent the money, too, as this is a pretty exciting game so far.

While I will always root for an LC lose, I realize the outcome does not matter, except for the team that loses
Edit: LC lose here would mean they root for an LU win next week andtheycan still win auto

A bad snap costs LC, will punt from deep in their territory after Colgate stops the clock. Good punt rolls down to the Raider 30

Couple of runs moves the ball to the Leopard 40, one shot at the end zone...overthrown

Looks like Lafayette is getting steamrolled. Great! But its OK for them to root for Lehigh next week. I hope their wish comes true. Lol
TheValleyRaider
November 9th, 2013, 03:53 PM
What a half for the Raider offense. McCarney looks as healthy as he's been all season, and the line is getting some big push and opening holes for the run game.
Credit the defense as well, getting pressure, limiting the Leopards' opportunities
21 minutes TOP for Colgate, this game is going at our pace
Kickoff coverage has been the weakest link so far, though they've been better the last two times. Usually Biddle and Co. make good 2nd half adjustments, so hopefully they keep it going, and get Lafayette off the field to start the half

Colgate plays its best half of football. Team looks fired up after last week. Lafayette's broadcast is top notch.

Great drive for Lafayette to open the half, Reed drops it perfectly into Schuerman's hands at the goal line

Lafayette Sports Network is by far the best sports coverage in the PL. They spend time and resources on their product and it shows.

Raiders driving again, McCarney floats it out, but it's intercepted by Smalley at the 3

Lafayette goes the length of the field, Reed to Scheuerman for the score. Stay tuned for this one...

Lafayette QB has as many incompletions as TD's this year--13. Pretty incredible stat. His one incompletion probably should have been a catch. Not sure why you run the ball if you're Lafayette.

Field reversed in that quarter, but the Raiders are moving the ball near midfield as the clock runs out

Leopards do force a punt following the conversion, great punt from Armiento downed at the 3

Colgate's unpredictable O from the first half has become predictable. Colgate has a habit of narrowing the playbook as the game goes on. D needs to step up here. Lafayette ball on own three down by four.
TheValleyRaider

4th and 1 coming for Lafayette in Colgate territory, Leopards take their 1st Time Out
About 8 minutes to go...

Handoff goes to Scheuerman, and he is stuffed at the line! Raider football!

Colgate survives somehow. Teams nearly switched at halftime, but it seems the Raiders had just enough in the tank to pull this one out. Offense got pretty conservative, though they didn't have the ball that much, and I would say there was no real reason to quit running. Maybe 1 or 2 more passes thrown in to keep the defense honest, but they got the job done.
Ross looks like an excellent player, I can't say I look forward to a few more years against him (and Pujals). Leopards have some athletic receivers, made a few great catches to keep drives alive. Nice to get a win in Easton, and now destiny is in our hands.
Raiders play for the League title against Lehigh next week :)

Pards are almost a very good team. Right now good enuf to give you a game not quite good enuf to win. I do hope that trend continues for 2 more weeks.

If Colgate wins next week, they're champs. Do I have that correct?
Somehow, someway, Biddle seems to always figure it out.

How do you not go for 2 down 4 in the 3rd quarter? It would have been an entirely different game had Tavani done so.
TheValleyRaider

I believe so. We'd be 4-1, with the only loss coming to Bucknell who already has 2. Lafayette could beat Lehigh and be co-champs, but Colgate would get the playoff spot

You're seriously asking why Tavani didn't make the correct call? Really?

Tavani is a moron and his defensive coordinator, John Loose, is incompetent. RESIGNATION or TERMINATION are the only things that will remedy Lafayette football.

Pit was early, only 3rd quarter. Take points don't chase them. Later in 4th quarter then go for 2

Sure, but they had to know Biddle was going to try to slow down the game to a crawl! Suppose they try 2, and miss. They still need a touchdown to win anyway! IMO it was low-risk, high reward.

I don't disagree But I don't think it was a no brainier to go for 2 or crazy not to because it was only 3rd quarter

Going by the Patriot League website, if Colgate wins, they get the playoff spot, and would go to the playoffs at either 6-6, or 5-7 depending on their last game at Fordham. If Lehigh wins, then Lafayette-Lehigh becomes the Patriot League Championship Game, with the winner getting the playoff spot.

I don't question the two point conversion so much as the 4th and one and runs right up the gut for the umpteenth time in past several years. Post game interview he said his OC called for a spread formation and have Reed run/throw option, but the Frankasaurus overrode and went with the 'heavy load' back. Tough game for the 'pards to come back from a big deficit. Now with Fordham coming to town, in a somewhat 'meaningless' game as far a league implications, one wonders what kind of state of mind they will have.

Agreed! I was wondering that at the time too. Also I feel there is more fluidity for 2 points (guys looser) than when it is a do or die in the 4th.

Kevin Kelly is not the problem at Georgetown. They need more and better athletes.
