Colgate beat New Hampshire, of Elon’s conference.

They will come in 2-0. They have not given up a lot of yardage on defense and a total of 20 points. They haven't produce a lot on offense either, but hey what have we done?

I thought I wanted Colgate to win and come in ranked or close. they were 32nd in coaches poll this week and UNH was 22nd. So I expect Colgate will be 27th or so now.

Last year we KILLED them at Colgate w better talented athletes at most positions

Most of those athletes are back and some are older now - McKoy (may have been his first start at Colgate?) Reid, the DL in general etc. all our DBs plus now Trapp.

I heard their announcers last year and we were all over them in the backfield etc.

We CAN win this but we need some effort and some OL improvement. Still baffled that despite our youth - as Paul C said - these guys may be young in age but they are a year older in learning OL and strategies from CCH.

I'll be there and be loud.

Colgate and UNH totaled about 200 yards. Colgate won 10-3. We may need to,pull a win of that type score

Kinda funny, remember all those threads a couple of years ago about our lack of scoring and offense? The way it's going we could be looking at an all-time low. Only 2 4th quarter TDs so far this year.

New Hampshire is grossly overrated. They were hammered in their opening week game.

Furman has played Colgate 3 times recently and beat them soundly. They beat them soundly last season. If we don’t come out and beat them soundly this season, I’ll start to get a little worried.

Exactly. We have some history - most important last year - and every time we just have too many athletes. Our D should hold the Colgate O in Check. What can our OL do??? Wouldn't hurt to get a little scoring from our D or a short field. We give one to all our opponents

We have to be one of the few teams in the country who hasn't gotten one turnover in our favor yet. . Not going to look it up. Maybe there are tons of teams who haven't gotten one turnover in two games? I think we were -2 at Clemson and -3 at Elon. With us not getting a single one - I don't mean turnover ratio. I just mean get one at all. Would give us a nice spark and help our offense
