It's tough to glean too much from Syracuse football's thrashing of nearby Colgate on Friday evening. First, it's just one game. Second, the Raiders are a Football Championship Subdivision ("FCS") program.
Still, credit Colgate (0-3) for putting up a fight, especially in the third quarter, when the Raiders outscored the Orange, 14-7. Patriot League member Colgate also put up 24 points in a 66-24 setback to the 'Cuse (2-1).
The Orange's offense, on Friday night at the JMA Wireless Dome, looked strong, particularly in the passing game. In total, SU tallied 620 yards.
