If we are aiming that high, let's also put into the universe the idea that we top the 1932 season, and have everyone remember 2015 as "undefeated, untied, unscored upon and national champions"!

>William James gets it.

I predict we will be 3 & 0 going into the Holy Cross game.

We had trouble at Air Force because Gavin McCarney hurt his left shoulder/arm at the end of the first quarter and Air Force platooned their OL, using a no huddle, 90% run offense, while we kept our first team defense in the game. At that altitude, we simply got gassed.

Look at the video of the 2014 Navy | Air Force game. Navy pretty much "never" threw the ball. Air Force won the game by controlling Navy's run game.

Coach Hunt believes that our front seven are the best he has seen at Colgate in 20 years. If that is the case, Colgate could give Navy problems at "sea level."

We were a much better team than our record showed last year.

Although we lost all five games with Bret Mooney at QB, they were all close. Bret doesn't have the speed and mobility to execute Colgate's read option offense the way Jake Melville can (and Sage Attwood will probably do in 2017).

Colgate will shock Navy on September 5th.

George Bradlau '71, Larry Young '71, and yours truly, Rick Gould '71 and our spouses we be at the game.

Look for us tearing down the goal post after the game.

Rick

We played five losing games in a row without our starting QB. One game was a 7 point loss. Two were 3 point losses.

and every other team at every level will say the same thing!
NO one ever says "we were worse than our record"!
I'm a fan, would love an undefeated championship season but let's keep it real!

injuries are a part of the game, depth matters! especially at qb!!

No matter the reason,the only measure that matters is the team's record. We all bemoan various circumstances that fans rely on to explain the record.My team had the worst D in FCS.We went 3-8. We lost 3 OLmen,starting RB,starting WR in one game.Numerous other season ending injuries on D and O. Doesn't change our record. We were a bad team on the field. Using injury as a crutch :),assumes that they wont occur again this year. Might ,might not.

With Sue B.'s retirement you've lost a valuable scouting asset come Lafayette week. That just wasn't right. ;)
