ARMIENTO NAMED PL ROOKIE OF THE WEEK ... AGAIN
Freshman Mike Armiento was named the Patriot League Rookie of the Week for the second time this season, after tallying four tackles, two tackles for loss and a pass breakup in Colgate's win over Cornell. He is up to 18 tackles; two interceptions and three pass breakups for the season.

LOCK EARNS CFPA AND PL AWARDS
Senior Adam Lock was named the CFPA National Linebacker of the Week and the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week after recording seven tackles, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery against the Big Red. His second sack came on the first play of the second half. He also forced and recovered a fumble on the play to set Colgate up inside the Cornell 10 for a touchdown that made the score 21-10. Lock has 30 tackles and 3.5 sacks on the season.

INJURY BUG STRIKES COLGATE
Since the start of the 2011 season the Colgate Raiders have posted 14 different starters on offense, eight on defense and seven in special teams all due to injury. On offense, Colgate has started four different wide receivers, four running backs, two quarterbacks, two tight ends and two offensive linemen. On defense, the Raiders have started four different cornerbacks, two linebackers and two safeties, while the special teams have seen three different kickoff returners, two long snappers and two holders.

Colgate hasn't started the same group on offense or defense since the second week of the season, while the secondary has only been the same twice against Monmouth and Cornell. With all of the injuries the Raiders still have chance of winning the Patriot League title for the seventh time in school history and own a winning record (4-3) after winning the last three games.

COLGATE LOVES NEW YORK
The Raiders have a perfect 3-0 record at home this season outscoring their opponents 110-76. The road hasn't been so kind to Colgate, which has a 1-3 record and has been outscored 130-70.

Colgate has two players this season that have seen time on both sides of the ball. Senior Dan Basil has played both wide receiver and defensive back, while junior Jordan McCord has seen time as a running back and free safety.

Basil has seven catches for 66 yards on offense while recording nine tackles on defense. McCord, who ran for 930 yards during the 2009 season, has 24 carries for 89 yards and two scores this year, while recording 48 tackles, two interceptions, one sack and has forced one fumble on defense.

EACHUS APPROACHING PATRIOT LEAGUE MARKS
While Nate Eachus missed his third game of the season on Saturday, he is still on pace to finish his career with some of the most impressive individual totals in Patriot League history. The Colgate senior running back stands second in Patriot League history with 51 rushing touchdowns; sixth with 4,350 rushing yards and just entered the top 10 with 4,761 all-purpose yards. He remains the active leader nationally in career rushing yards, yards per game and touchdowns and stands second among all players in all-purpose yardage and overall scoring.
