Pitarresi: Scott, Eachus impressive kids

I went down to Colgate today to work on a story about star running backs Jordan Scott and Nate Eachus.

 

I was impressed with both of these kids. Scott, who has an injured ankle and might be out again this week, is the Raiders’ all-time leading rusher. Eachus is just a freshman, but the way he’s started – 621 yards in three games subbing for Scott – he might end up with that title some day.

 

Both guys came across as terrific young men with their feet on the ground, totaling unimpressed with themselves. They said all the right things about team play, and I think they were 100 percent sincere in what they said. Maybe that’s just the kind of kid Dick Biddle recruits. It certainly has worked well in his 13 years as head coach.
