It’s a big game in the Patriot League this weekend at Murray Goodman Stadium, and the FCS experts have been weighing in – and to a person, all picking Colgate to win.
Craig Haley of STATS/Athlon Sports:
An at-large playoff bid is out of the question for Colgate, which is going to have to repeat as Patriot League champion to get back to the postseason. The Raiders are reeling, while Lehigh’s offense (51.3 points per game the last three weeks) is soaring no matter if the quarterback is Nick Shafnisky or Brad Mayes. Shafnisky is due back this week.
Emory Hunt over at Football Gameplan also has picked Colgate to win, and the vast majority of posters in the Any Given Saturday fan community as well have picked the Raiders.
We break down the Colgate game – and we give our fearless prediction below the flip.
The updated weather report out of Hamilton is that the snow showers are supposed to end by Saturday morning. Gametime should be 38 or 39 degrees with gusts of wind up to 20 mph.
On paper, this should be a good thing for the home team.
Colgate is not in control of their championship and playoff destiny by some sort of fluke. Their young team tested themselves early, going 0-3 against three tough teams in Navy, New Hampshire and Yale, managing to outlast Holy Cross in a critical Patriot League game that could have deep-sixed their season, and then won the rest of the Patriot League games in front of them, including a Fordham team that had dominated most of the teams on their schedule.
