League Vault | Fresh off the bye week, Colgate kicks off a stretch of six consecutive Patriot League games to close the regular season. Tied atop the league standings, the Raiders host a Georgetown squad that claimed a 21-17 victory over Colgate in D.C. last October.

Series History | Colgate holds a commanding 20-2 lead in the all-time series against Georgetown despite last season's setback in Washington, D.C. The Raiders are a perfect 10-0 against the Hoyas in Hamilton, including a 38-28 victory in their last home meeting in 2024.

Frieser ’04 in the Hall | Colgate welcomes 12 new inductees into this year’s Hall of Honor, including John Frieser ’04, who helped the Raiders to a pair of Patriot League titles and captained the team to the national championship game in 2003 as a star tight end. The new inductees will be celebrated at halftime as part of 2026 Homecoming Weekend. 

Two-Minute Drill | Senior quarterback Jake Stearney put on a late-game clinic at No. 20/22 Harvard, driving Colgate 75 yards in 13 plays and converting three third downs before connecting with Matt Fogler for a go-ahead touchdown with 27 seconds remaining.

Fogler on Fire | Sophomore receiver Matt Fogler notched his third 100-yard receiving game of the season at No. 20/22 Harvard, reeling in a career-high 12 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown. Having caught a TD in three straight games, Fogler leads the Patriot League in both receiving yards per game (99.8) and touchdown catches (6).

Tymir Takeaways | Senior cornerback Tymir Wynn earned Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honors after snagging his second interception and racking up a career-high 13 tackles. His seven pass breakups rank seventh nationally.

New Trooper in Town | Two-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week Trooper Price racked up a team-high 14 tackles at No. 20/22 Harvard. The senior linebacker leads Colgate and ranks third in the Patriot League with 59.0 total tackles on the season.

Pitching Zeroes | Colgate's defense has tightened the screws late in league play, allowing just seven total fourth-quarter points across three Patriot League games while blanking both Fordham and Holy Cross in the final frame.

Pressure Cooker | Colgate’s pass rush continues to disrupt opposing backfields, highlighted by a season-high seven sacks at Villanova. The Raiders have compiled 13 sacks through six games, ranking fourth in the Patriot League.

Lucky Number 13 | Colgate considers 13 its lucky number and celebrates Colgate Day every Friday the 13th. In 1817, 13 men met in Hamilton, N.Y., to found the institution, backing their vision with 13 dollars and 13 prayers.
