Sophomore running back Nate Eachus ran for 98 yards and two touchdowns as the No. 23-ranked Colgate Raiders defeated Princeton 21-14 in double overtime on ESPNU. Eachus scored on a pair of two-yard touchdown runs in both the first and second overtime periods.

The game was a battle of wills, as both defenses played spectacular football. Colgate held Princeton scoreless for over 50 minutes before Princeton quarterback Tommy Wornham threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Trey Peacock with 9:45 remaining in the fourth quarter, tying the game 7-7.

On the other side, the Princeton defense did not allow a Colgate runner to reach over 100 yards. It marks only the second time since 2006 that a Colgate runner did not reach the century mark in rushing yards.

After crushing out-of-conference rival Cornell for its fifth victory, the undefeated Colgate Raiders football team prepares for its hot date with a national TV audience.

The Raiders will play its first-ever Thursday night game at 7 against the Princeton Tigers, and the contest will be seen on ESPNU.

This weekend will be a good time to be outside for football lovers and for moviegoers.

The lights will be on at Andy Kerr Stadium as the Raiders go up against Monmouth in their season opener, slated for 6 p.m. Saturday.

The Patriot League title as safely secured as the pigskin in Jordan Scott's hands, the Colgate Raiders will now head to Villanova on Saturday to play the Wildcats in the first round of the NCAA Football Subdivision Championship.

Colgate is making its eighth appearance in the playoffs, and first since the 2005 season. Kickoff is 1 p.m. at Villanova Stadium, and the winner of the game will play the winner of the James Madison-Wofford game in the quarterfinals.

The Raiders' season continues after the team won a hard-fought, hugely entertaining battle against Holy Cross, 28-27. Saturday's win at Andy Kerr Stadium was played in bone-chilling cold and periods of snow, which fell on the many Raiders fans clad in black.

The football game between Colgate and Georgetown scheduled for Saturday at Colgate has been cancelled.

Due to an outbreak of norovirus on the Georgetown campus, the contest will not be played.

Raiders football coach Dick Biddle, and Colgate fans everywhere, won't forget Sunday's game for quite awhile.

The game against Coastal Carolina, and Biddle's place in school history, was not settled until the game clock showed triple zeros and the Raiders had turned a muffed snap into a game-winning touchdown toss.

Sports Illustrated senior writer Austin Murphy '83 covered the National Football League for six years and is in his 15th year of covering college football.

In the most recent episode of Colgate Conversations, the podcast series highlighting members of the campus community, Murphy had this to say:

-- The NFL is run by pinched, unsmiling bureaucrats who have sucked the joy from the game and have built Plasticine stadiums that are merely life support systems for luxury boxes.

-- Division I college football is played in secular cathedrals steeped in quirky traditions that evoke unflagging passion from fans and create fun atmospheres that can't be beat.

The thrill is definitely not gone for Ken Schanzer.

As president of NBC Sports for nearly 10 years, he says he has "one of the greatest jobs on the planet."

As an alumnus from the Class of 1966, he says his love of Colgate -- a place of "magic and miracles" -- is as strong as ever.

During a recent visit to campus, Schanzer talked about his job and alma mater for the latest episode (mp3) of Colgate Conversations, the podcast series that highlights members of the campus community.
