Football Falls in Season Opener

Colgate drops 2023 season opener at Syracuse

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A strong performance from Syracuse was too much for Colgate as the Raiders fell 65-0 in the 2023 season opener on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Orange scored five touchdowns in the first 30 minutes of play to create a deficit too deep for Colgate to overcome.
 
Fifth-year linebacker Tyler Flick recorded a team-high 14 stops to lead the Raiders' defensive efforts today. Senior Christian Sweeney was close behind Flick with a game-high 11 tackles. Defensive back Justin Lawrence picked off Garrett Shrader of Syracuse to account for the sophomore's first career interception.
 
First-years were the name of the game for Colgate as 16 first-year student-athletes made their collegiate debuts for the Raiders. Kaleb Alexander recorded a fumble recovery in the game for Colgate, and running back Chris Gee rushed for 25 yards off nine carries to highlight the first-years.
 
Punter Shelby Pruett tied his game-high nine punts against Syracuse. The junior punted for 428 yards, averaging 47.6 yards per punt, and punting for a long of 56.
 
 The Raiders had three quarterbacks come in the game to take snaps against the Orange. Junior Michael Brescia ended his season debut 7-for-14 with 29 passing yards. Sophomore Zach Osborne went 3-for-5 in his season debut, while first-year Jake Stearney went 1-for-1 in his collegiate debut.
