Pitarresi: Scott, Sullivan, Simonds dynamic trio for Colgate

Jordan Scott is having another great season for Colgate University’s football team.

 

After carrying 29 times for 236 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday’s 34-20 win over Dartmouth, he has 5,015 yards in his career and is the Patriot League’s all-time leading rusher, and is closing in on the NCAA’s all-time carries record and Kenny Gamble’s all-time Raider rushing record.

 

Scott is a great player, but the Raiders also are getting some terrific work from sophomore quarterback Greg Sullivan, who stepped in when starter Alex Relph was hurt early in the opening game with Stony Brook. Sullivan had a terrific performance against Dartmouth, taking off on two fourth-quarter touchdown runs, rushing 18 times for 136 yards and completing 7 of 10 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown.

 

Those two guys and 6-foot-6 wide receiver Pat Simonds, a junior from Sidney who has caught 25 passes for 350 yards and two touchdowns, make Colgate’s offense pretty dynamic. The Raiders play at Fordham Saturday, then return home to play Georgetown Oct. 4, and they should be well worth watching.
