UMass 35, Colgate 17

The Raiders scored the first touchdown in the fourth quarter on a fourth-and-goal play, but UMass answered back with a touchdown of its own just minutes later on the following drive.

The Raiders led the game in total yards for much of the game, but UMass was able to get into the endzone when it needed to -- while Jordan Scott and the Raiders offense could not.

UMass was aided by Liam Coen's four TD passes, and J.J. Moore's two scores -- one on a punt return and another on an 11-yard reception. Matt Lawrence had his second-consecutive, and second-career, 100-yard rushing performance.

Scott finished with 100+ yards in the losing effort, while wideout Erik Burke had a monster game -- finishing with well over 100 yards.
