#27 Colgate (0-0, PL 0-0) at #10 Massachusetts (0-0, A-10 0-0) Saturday, September 2, 2006 • 1:00 McGuirk Stadium - Amherst, Mass. GAME DAY The Colgate Raiders will open their 116th gridiron season when they travel to the University of Massachusetts on Saturday, September 2. Kickoff is 1:00 p.m. at McGuirk Stadium. Colgate is seeking its 11th straight winning season under head coach Dick Biddle. Last year, the Raiders were 8-4 overall and shared first place in the Patriot League with a 5-1 mark. They made their seventh appearance in the NCAA I-AA playoffs. This season the Raiders have been picked as the preseason favorite to win the Patriot League title in a vote of the league coaches and sports information directors. In openers under Biddle, Colgate has posted a 2-8 mark. In the two seasons that the Raiders won their season opener during Biddle's tenure, they finished 10-2 in 1999 and 15-1 in 2003 while reaching the I-AA championship title game. UMass is in its third season under head coach Don Brown. Last fall, the Minutemen finished 7-4 overall and 6-2 in the North Division in the Atlantic 10. They are ranked 10th in The Sports Network preseason I-AA poll. THE SERIES This is the sixth meeting between Colgate and Massachusetts with the Raiders leading the series, 4-1. Colgate has won all four of its contests on its home turf against UMass, including a 17-14 decision last season in Hamilton. The only previous game played at McGuirk Stadium resulted in a 30-20 win by the Minutemen in 2004. LAST MEETING (2005) All-America linebacker Jared Nepa had a team-high 12 tackles and one interception as the Colgate defense came away with five interceptions leading the Raiders to a 17-14 upset victory over #15 ranked Massachusetts at Andy Kerr Stadium. On the offensive side of the football, Colgate managed only 167 yards – 85 rushing and 82 passing. Sloan completed 6-of-15 passes for 82 yards, while tailback J.J. Bennett was the leading rusher with 16 carries for a career-high 48 yards, while fullback Ben Evans had 12 carries for 24 yards. Colgate held the Minutemen’s strong rushing game to 84 yards. COLGATE VS. TOP 25 TEAMS Colgate is 6-5 in its last 11 games against teams ranked in the Top 25 of Division I-AA. In 2003, they defeated #24 Lehigh, #19 Fordham, #5 Massachusetts, #10 Western Illinois, and #13 Florida Atlantic, before losing to #3 Delaware in the NCAA Division I-AA championship game. Colgate lost to #14 Massachusetts in the 2004 season opener and later to #12 Lehigh. Last year, they beat #15 UMass 17-14, lost to #16 Lehigh 50-34 and lost to #1 New Hampshire 55-21.

SCOTT BROKE COLGATE'S FRESHMAN RUSHING RECORD Jordan Scott set a Colgate freshman rushing record with 1,364 yards while leading the Patriot League.

Kenny Gamble, the first ever Walter Payton Award winner, did it twice (1986 and 1987), Anthony Caravetta in 1996, Randall Joseph in 1999 and Jamaal Branch in 2003.
TOUGH AGAINST THE RUSH Over the last 10 seasons, the Raiders have held the opposition to less than 100 yards rushing 51 times, and are 48-3 when doing so. Last season, the Raiders have held the opposition under 100 yards rushing in six times.

#27 Colgate (0-0, PL 0-0) at #10 Massachusetts (0-0, A-10 0-0) Saturday, September 2, 2006 • 1:00 McGuirk Stadium - Amherst, Mass. GAME DAY The Colgate Raiders will open their 116th gridiron season when they travel to the University of Massachusetts on Saturday, September 2. Kickoff is 1:00 p.m. at McGuirk Stadium. Colgate is seeking its 11th straight winning season under head coach Dick Biddle. Last year, the Raiders were 8-4 overall and shared first place in the Patriot League with a 5-1 mark. They made their seventh appearance in the NCAA I-AA playoffs. This season the Raiders have been picked as the preseason favorite to win the Patriot League title in a vote of the league coaches and sports information directors. In openers under Biddle, Colgate has posted a 2-8 mark. In the two seasons that the Raiders won their season opener during Biddle's tenure, they finished 10-2 in 1999 and 15-1 in 2003 while reaching the I-AA championship title game. UMass is in its third season under head coach Don Brown. Last fall, the Minutemen finished 7-4 overall and 6-2 in the North Division in the Atlantic 10. They are ranked 10th in The Sports Network preseason I-AA poll. THE SERIES This is the sixth meeting between Colgate and Massachusetts with the Raiders leading the series, 4-1. Colgate has won all four of its contests on its home turf against UMass, including a 17-14 decision last season in Hamilton. The only previous game played at McGuirk Stadium resulted in a 30-20 win by the Minutemen in 2004. LAST MEETING (2005) All-America linebacker Jared Nepa had a team-high 12 tackles and one interception as the Colgate defense came away with five interceptions leading the Raiders to a 17-14 upset victory over #15 ranked Massachusetts at Andy Kerr Stadium. On the offensive side of the football, Colgate managed only 167 yards – 85 rushing and 82 passing. Sloan completed 6-of-15 passes for 82 yards, while tailback J.J. Bennett was the leading rusher with 16 carries for a career-high 48 yards, while fullback Ben Evans had 12 carries for 24 yards. Colgate held the Minutemen’s strong rushing game to 84 yards. COLGATE VS. TOP 25 TEAMS Colgate is 6-5 in its last 11 games against teams ranked in the Top 25 of Division I-AA. In 2003, they defeated #24 Lehigh, #19 Fordham, #5 Massachusetts, #10 Western Illinois, and #13 Florida Atlantic, before losing to #3 Delaware in the NCAA Division I-AA championship game. Colgate lost to #14 Massachusetts in the 2004 season opener and later to #12 Lehigh. Last year, they beat #15 UMass 17-14, lost to #16 Lehigh 50-34 and lost to #1 New Hampshire 55-21.

SCOTT BROKE COLGATE'S FRESHMAN RUSHING RECORD Jordan Scott set a Colgate freshman rushing record with 1,364 yards while leading the Patriot League. He was the first Colgate freshman running back in school history to gain over 1,000 yards in a season. Scott was the fifth Colgate running back in Patriot League history to win the rushing title. Kenny Gamble, the first ever Walter Payton Award winner, did it twice (1986 and 1987), Anthony Caravetta in 1996, Randall Joseph in 1999 and Jamaal Branch in 2003.
TOUGH AGAINST THE RUSH Over the last 10 seasons, the Raiders have held the opposition to less than 100 yards rushing 51 times, and are 48-3 when doing so. Last season, the Raiders have held the opposition under 100 yards rushing in six times.
