The Massachusetts football team is just twenty minutes away from the kickoff in game number two of the 2007 season. The Minutemen are in Hamilton, N.Y. to take the on Colgate Raiders.

Both teams enter the contest at 1-0 thus far, and each team would love to take the final game in the four-year series between the schools. For more background on the history of UMass-Colgate head-to-head matchups, click here.

Despite winning in their opener of Albany, 13-11, Colgate has made the decision to switch qaurterbacks for this afternoon's games with the Minutemen. Junior Anthony Fucillo is out, while fellow second-year man Alex Relph is in. Both struggled in the win against the Great Danes. Fucillo was sacked five times.

Tailback Jordan Scott did not struggle, however. Scott carried the load in a big way last weekend, toting the football 44 times for 180 yards. His effort earned him the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week.
