Football Scoop has a story under the headline, FCS playoff snapshot with two weeks left to play that includes this:
Princeton won’t play the Playoffs, and that’s a shame. Bob Surace’s Tigers are 8-0 and on their way to the Ivy League title after a 14-9 win over previously unbeaten Dartmouth. Princeton has allowed one team to top the 10 point mark and held five opponents to single digits while scoring 45 points or more six times.But here's what really caught my attention:
(The Colgate) defense has allowed 23 points all season. Colgate, 8-0 and champions of the Patriot League, hasn’t been scored upon since a 27-3 win over Bucknell on Oct. 6 and hasn’t surrendered a touchdown the 6:59 mark of the fourth quarter in a 24-17 win over Holy Cross on Sept. 1. SEPTEMBER 1!!!! The Raiders’ defense has pitched five shoutouts in eight games and scored more touchdowns (three) than it’s allowed (two).Did you catch that last bit? Colgate's defense has scored more points than it has given up!
The Raiders visit Lehigh this week but will get their big test Nov. 17 when they play at Army.
Dartmouth will play host to Colgate in its second game next fall.
