It was the first time since 1963 that Bucknell has beaten Colgate on its home field and it was the Bisons' third consecutive victory, bringing their season's mark to 4-4. It was an apparent mismatch with Colgate, boasting its best team in recent years and a defense that had not allowed a touchdown at home all seafon. against Bucknell's offense, which had been un-proven until only a week ago against lowly Washington and Lee. But the Bisons took it right to the Raiders who had lost only to Yale and Princeton this season.
