Halftime

[TheValleyRaider]

Total domination. Raiders in complete control of this one, just as much as the score indicates. Colgate outgaining Princeton 323-114, with 187 rushing yards spread over 3 carries (77 for Sullivan, 65 for Eachus, 48 for Jackson). Sullivan tacks on a 9-10, 148 yd, 1 TD passing performance to complete the offense. Princeton sounds pretty uninspiring, but right now this is a great Colgate performance. Keep up the pressure in the 2nd half, and maybe we get 3 100 rushers...

[bulldog10jw]

On 4th down and 1 at their own 28, Colgate goes for it with Jackson, and he's got it by the nose of the ball. The drive continues...

Why ?

[TheValleyRaider]

Princeton drives all the way down to a 1st and Goal situation, and on 3rd down Worham finds Peacock, TOUCHDOWN. Jacob's PAT is up and GOOD

Final

Total domination. Offense definitely took it's foot off the gas in the 2nd half, but generally a strong performance all around. I'd like to see fewer fumbles going forward, but a statement game to get the school's 599th victory :)

On to Ithaca...

[Go...gate]

Colgate looked very good.

Princeton has a lot of work to do.

[ColgateTD]

Go...gate: still worried about this game????

[Go...gate]

Go...gate: still worried about this game????

No worries; I was there. I have seen most of the Colgate-Princeton games in the past five - six decades and I believe this was our most dominating performance against Princeton during that time, including 1977 and 2003. Colgate might be the best team in either the Ivy or Patriot League.

['Gate93]

Thx 4 the play-by-play TVR. Always impressed by the determination, confidence, grit, and never-say-die attitude when it's 4th down. True Raider style. We'd be in a bit more trouble if we didn't have our 1-2 punch with Eachus & Jackson. He sounded great and seems to have a different running style than Eachus. Another solid kicking game and opportunistic defense. If we're fortunate enought to make the playoffs, we'd be tempting fate if we continue to fumble as often as we do. More holding penalties - esp. on a touchdown - ugh!

On to win #600!
Who's going?!
Go 'Gate!

[DJOM]

Nice play by play. Colgate's qb made some very good decisions with ball. He is definately a threat running or passing.
Now a couple of obvious points. We had success running the ball on the first series. We had limited if any success passing after that. We consistently went 3 and out far too many times. Defense gets far too much time on field and then score gets lopsided. One more thing, we have to hold onto the ball. Turnovers are simply killers. Like I said, obvious points.

One bright spot...middle linebacker had 10 tackles, one for loss.
