Angeli said it was "awesome" he had joined such an elite duo but he spread the love to his offense. "It's not just me, there's guys that are all over that are allowing that to happen. That's a collective thing. It's not really an individ ual because some guys got to catch the football for me, protect, and everything else, so it's awesome to hear that," Angeli said. "There's so many playmakers, like everywhere. It's a really special group." "I thought their quarterback played really well, and he's getting better every week," Colgate coach Curt Fitzpatrick said. - Syracuse/AP College Football
