W&M is off to a 1-2 start this season and is coming off back-to-back road losses against nationally ranked opponents in Virginia Tech and James Madison.
The Tribe has been successful at creating turnovers and has forced six through three games after totaling 10 all of last season.
All-conference wide receiver
DeVonte Dedmon leads W&M offensively and ranks sixth in the league in receiving yards per game (83.3) and second in yards per catch (20.8).
Defensively, safety
Isaiah Laster has totaled a team-high 23 tackles and is averaging 9.0 tackles during the last two contests.
Ranked No. 24/23 in the national polls, Colgate's 3-0 start to the season includes a 10-3 victory at then-No. 20 New Hampshire.
The Raiders have been outstanding defensively and currently lead the country in scoring defense (6.7). A key component of that success has been its third down defense (.205) and turnover margin (+2.33), as it ranks second and fourth, respectively, nationally in those statistical categories. Additionally, Colgate is allowing just 240.0 total yards per game, which ranks seventh in the country.
James Holland leads CU offensively and is averaging 77.7 rushing yards per game with two touchdowns.
Defensively, Nick Wheeler has totaled a team-high 4.0 sacks with 6.5 TFL.
Saturday's game against Colgate will mark W&M's first matchup with the Raiders since 1992, which the Tribe won, 44-26, in Hamilton, N.Y. W&M controls the all-time series, 6-3, and has won the last three meetings. Additionally, the Tribe owns a 4-2 advantage in games played in Williamsburg.
W&M boasts a 24-9 all-time record against teams currently in the Patriot League and opened its 2018 slate with a 14-7 victory at Bucknell.
