Lamb had five catches for a career-high 157 yards against Fordham. Sophomore John Frieser (Endwell, NY) has grabbed the starting assignment at tight end. He showed outstanding ability to grab the pigskin with six catches for 86 yards and one TD, while his backup, junior Mark Iacone (McKeesport, PA), has caught three passes for 32 yards. Colgate s running game features a pair of hard-running tailbacks. Junior Nate Thomas (Dorchester, MA) and sophomore Jamaal Branch (Mashpee, MA) share the tailback duties. Thomas has gained a team-high 390 yards on 62 carries and scored four touchdowns, while Branch has picked up 186 yards on 39 carries. They have combined for yards per game.

Sophomore Matt Kobelski (Tewksbury, Mass.) has stepped in at fullback, replacing Justin Polk (Grand Prairie, TX), who was injured against Villanova. Kobelski has carried 18 times for 92 yards and one TD. The offensive line is a veteran group led by senior All-America candidate Ken Kubec (Parma Heights, OH).

Junior Andy Barr (Shelter Island Heights, NY) is the starting center, while junior Mike Murphy (New Milford, NJ) is at right tackle and sophomore Marc Sclafani (Belmont, MA) at right guard. RED ZONE Colgate has converted seven of its 11 red zone opportunities (63.6%). Four of the Raiders penetrations into the red zone have resulted in passing touchdowns, two in a rushing TD s and one in a field goal. COLGATE S DEFENSE The defensive side of the football is where most of the changes have come for the Raiders. They had to replace the entire linebacker corp, two down linemen, and an all- Patriot League cornerback from last year s unit. The defense is yielding yards per game rushing and passing. Up front the returning starters are senior defensive end Eric Tee (Ithaca, NY) and sophomore tackle Mike Latek (Rochester, NY). They are joined by sophomore nose tackle Josh Sabo (White Oak, PA) and senior tackle Brian Schaffer (Beverly Hills, Mich.) on the front four. Senior co-captain Ron Hampton (Miami, FL), the team s leading tackler with 27, steps in at one inside linebacker spot, while sophomore Tem Lukabu (Avenel, NJ) starts along side of Hampton. The starting outside linebacker is junior Rashard Raigns (Silver Springs, MD), who has replaced the injured Chris Rowland (Fayetteville, NY). Rowland, a junior, was injured in the Maine game. He has a teamhigh three quarterback sacks. The Colgate secondary is an impressive group of players. Perhaps one of the strongest in school history. Junior free safety Ameer Riley (Norwood, MA), an all- Patriot League selection in 1999, is back after missing last season, and junior strong safety Phil Bowman (Cheshire, CT) has returned to the lineup after being hurt against Villanova. Sophomore Sean McCune (Hookstown, PA) also sees plenty of action in the secondary. The corners are patrolled by juniors Max Wynn (Atlanta, GA) and Maurice Robertson (Riverdale, GA). Wynn should be an all-league candidate, while Robertson
