Five Tigers injured as Colgate blows out Princeton, 35-10
On the final play of the first half, the football team wanted to play it safe, so sophomore quarterback David Splithoff decided to take a knee.But he tripped over the foot of one of Princeton's offensive linemen and ended up on the turf.It was that sort of game Saturday afternoon for the Tigers (1-2 overall, 1-0 Ivy League), who were routed by Colgate (3-2 overall, 1-0 Patriot League). Princeton scored first, on a 33-yard field goal by senior kicker Taylor Northrop, but the Red Raiders answered with 28 straight points en route to a 35-10 victory."Basically, that was an old-fashioned butt-kicking, and they lined up and kicked our backside," head coach Roger Hughes said.The statistics agreed with Hughes' assessment.
