Lafayette Outlasts Colgate 56-49

EASTON, Pa. (AP) ― Rob Curley threw for 373 yards and a school-record seven touchdown passes to lead Lafayette to a 56-49 victory over Colgate on Saturday.

Every one of Lafayette's touchdowns came on scoring passes from Curley, a senior who was 18-for-31 and set a career high for passing yards in a game.

He outdueled Colgate running back Nate Eachus, who rushed for 216 yards and five touchdowns on 45 carries.

Curley, who entered the game leading the Patriot League in pass efficiency with a 155.4 rating, threw his first scoring pass, a 45-yarder to Michael Bolton with 9:29 left in the first quarter.

The Leopards (8-1, 4-0 Patriot League) led 27-21 at halftime, but Colgate (8-2, 3-2) tied the score at 42 on Greg Sullivan's 32-yard touchdown pass to Gigi Cadet with 10:34 left in the game. Lafayette took a 56-42 lead as Curley threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes.
