Colgate records 5th shutout, beats Fordham 41-0

NEW YORK -- James Holland ran for 165 yards and two touchdowns and the Colgate defense recorded a record-tying fifth shutout, beating Fordham 41-0 on Saturday to clinch at least a share of the Patriot League title and an automatic bid to the FCS playoffs. Colgate (8-0, 5-0 Patriot) tied the FCS single-season record with its fifth shutout on the season. South Carolina State accomplished the same feat in 1978. Colgate, which has outscored its opponents 168-3 in the first half of all games this season, has allowed just one touchdown on defense in its last 47 quarters, dating back to Oct. 21, 2017. Grant Breneman was 16-of-19 passing for 198 yards with Owen Rockett hauling in four for 93 yards. The Raiders had 562 yards of offense while limiting Fordham to just 28 yards.
