I am with you there. Somebody should ask the offensive coordinator!

There should have been trigger warnings whenever Tatum came on.

Looks like we'll ratchet up the passing offense for Fordham, no ? -- Andy Kerr, 10/17/15 7:42:33pm Sat
There's always the flipside of a significant offensive achivement like Holy Cross's 500 yards passing today against Fordham.
Fordham's D gave up 500 yards passing in a game.
The previous week, Penn's Andrew Lisa finished 24-for-37 for 263 yards and three touchdowns in his first collegiate start. This was in a come from-behind blitz ( behind 10-35 in the 2nd quarter ) after giving up three turnovers in its first five possessions.
Fordham needed a last minute field goal to beat Penn and overtime to overcome H.C, today.
Fordham is good. But they put their pants on, one leg at a time, just little bit differently than others in the P.L.. At the least the game with the Rams, after the bye week, should be a game!

I'll take Melville throwing for about 190, no fumbles, only two penalties and the RB's having a stellar game. Oh yeah, and the D holding Fordham to 100 or so on the ground. It's finally a home game which helps. Go 'gate.

Re: Colgate 17 - Georgetown 13 -- Howard, 10/19/15 12:09:16pm Mon
Hey Gate Raider! Another brilliant statement on your part! "Glad to have the win even though it wasn't smooth". Football games are full of "Highs" and "Lows" in a 60 minute time frame. They are never smooth! Whats the comment about a player reconciling with his girlfriend? Also the quote "didn't demonstrate much confidence in the offense" at the end of the half. You are definitely more mentally challenged when it comes to football than I thought.
That was a hard fought victory for a team that has two conference wins on the road! Congrats to the coaches and players. The only loser this weekend....was you Gate Raider!

agreed...however while #3 gets a lot of press and makes some nice catches he drops passes every game....about as many as he catches in some and was flagged twice Saturday for false starts.....that's gotta improve!! drops & flags are drive killers and will hurt the chances of a PL title
#29 is a vacuum! catches everything thrown his way

Re: Colgate 17 - Georgetown 13 -- pigskin, 10/18/15 11:42:23am Sun
Lack of the killer instinct in the 4th is an ever present danger, as it has been in most of our games. Just can't seem to close things out.
Note to G'town announcers: Tell Tatum to be briefer; talking right through the play on the field is really annoying. Her soliloquys about various players were histerical, ha-ha.
If HC had just knocked off the Rams we would have a real PL race going. But it's not too late. Hopefully the home field advantage - and snow? - gives us 3 points extra.

Her comments were inane. I don't think Erin Andrews has anything to worry about.

Fordham averages 38.9 pts/game to opponents 28.1; Gate 20.9 pts per game -- Raider Archivist, 10/18/15 6:53:58pm Sun
Many Fordham opponents have put up big points against a porous Fordham secondary to stay in games with the Rams. Gate hss yet to display that kind of offensive production in any game this year. The closest the Raiders have come is the second half against Holy Cross. T.O.P. is one of Gate's best weapons. But, Fordham has shown the ability to score in a high percentage of their posessions!

Brown is NOT good this year and they hung 38 points on Princeton, Gate O could only put up 20 against the Tigers which by the way is what the Gate O is averaging: 20 per game while the D gives up an avg of 28 per game

Totally disagree. Get the yard and you win the game. Punt and you could lose the game. The Hoyas had the momentum and moved down the field to score in a minute and a half. Don't give them another chance with plenty of time left!

Re: Colgate 17 - Georgetown 13 -- The Future, 10/19/15 1:51:11pm Mon
I like the 4th down call. Colgate’s D was having trouble at that point. I think the aggressiveness—even if they hadn’t gotten it, it sets a better tone than a punt. Statistically, I would imagine it absolutely makes sense.
Also, I could certainly be wrong, but I think this was the plan the entire game. Wilkins is out. Gate goes to him on the read option 95% of the time (at least) on 4th and 1. Gate runs the empty backfield as the first play of the game (a new look the D won’t forget—especially since it is the first play of the game). Colgate makes sure to throw the ball on that play—Melville hasn’t thrown a pass like that all year—running towards someone and zipping the ball in there to a relatively covered receiver. Colgate makes sure to show that play with a pass so that the defense has to respect it when they run it again on 4th and short. This time, the QB has no intention of throwing but all he has to do is pick a hole with basically man-on-man blocking. Could be wrong, but it feels like the plan (and a smart one) on ‘gate’s part.

calls like that will find some fans liking it and others not. I am very happy it worked out for Gate.
I wonder if Hunt makes that same call if the D wasn't so bad at holding 4th quarter leads?

Re: Colgate 17 - Georgetown 13 -- gate, 10/19/15 5:57:00pm Mon
My guess is the players wanted to go for it on 4th and 1 and get the win. This is their game and they would share the results.
We were only 4-13 on 3rd down conversions. That is terrible, it kills momentum, and any improvement there could turn this Colgate team around. Melville had some brilliant plays but also made some terrible, soft, lateral passes while others he threw were well out of bounds. If he decides to run, he must aim for the 1st down marker and not come up a yard or two short as often as he does.
It was an exciting game; not sure where this Georgetown team came from but glad we're now 12-1 against them. Their wins out of conference are lackluster. We needed this one so congrats to all for the gritty win on the road!
Afriyie is damn impressive...the NFL could be a real possibility for him. Hope he gives Fordham fits!
