Bronx, N.Y. -  The Fordham University Rams close out the 2022 Patriot League season, Fordham's 122nd varsity season, by hosting the Colgate University Raiders on Jack Coffey Field on Saturday, November 19, at 1:00 p.m.

The game will be streamed on ESPN+ with Andrew Bogusch (p-b-p) and Grant DelVecchio (color) announcing and broadcast live on WFUV (90.7 FM) and wfuvsports.org with Andrew Gullotta (p-b-p) and Danny Scott (color) handling the announcing chores.
 
Fordham, ranked 14th in the latest NCAA FCS Coaches Poll, enters the game with an 8-2 overall record, 4-1 in the Patriot League, after a 45-10 Patriot League win over Lafayette on Jack Coffey Field last Saturday, while Colgate is 3-7 overall on the year, 2-3 in the Patriot League, after a 36-33 League loss at Lehigh last week.
 
This will be 34th meeting between Fordham and Colgate on the gridiron. The Raiders lead the all-time series, which started in 1989, 25-8, and took last year's meeting, 45-31, in Hamilton, N.Y., on November 20 as Michael Brescia rushed 28 times for 162 yards and two touchdowns and threw for two other scores.
 
A few notes on the game:

•  The Fordham seniors will be honored in a pregame ceremony.

• Fordham grad student linebacker Ryan Greenhagen was named a finalist for the 2022 William V. Campbell Trophy®, college football's premier scholar-athlete award that annually recognizes an individual as the absolute best in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership.
 
• With his six passing touchdowns at Monmouth, Fordham senior quarterback Tim DeMorat brought his career total to 78, moving ahead of Kevin Anderson (2014-2017) and into first on the Fordham career list (Anderson's previous record was 73).
 
• DeMorat, who earned his eighth Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week honor following the Lafayette game, threw four more against the Leopards to bring his school-record total to 114.
 
• DeMorat is also the Fordham career leader in completions with 974 and passing yards with 12,670.
 
• The 2022 Rams have a powerful one-two punch in the offensive backfield in grad student Trey Sneed, and sophomore Julius Loughridge.
 
• Their stats are almost identical with Loughridge rushing 121 times for 849 yards and seven scores and Sneed rushing 150 times for 762 yards and four touchdowns.
 
• Loughridge leads the Patriot League in rushing yards/game (84.1) while Sneed is fourth (77.2).
 
• Senior wide receiver Fotis Kokosioulis set a Fordham record with 15 receptions at Monmouth this year and set another school and Patriot League record with 320 receiving yards at Ohio while also tying a Fordham mark with four touchdowns against the Bobcats.
 
• Kokosioulis is second in the NCAA FCS in receiving yards/game (111.0) and is receptions/game (8.4).
 
• Kokosioulis became the sixth player in school history to amass more than 1,000 receiving yards in a season as he leads the Fordham receivers with 84 catches for 1,110 yards and 12 touchdowns.
 
• Kokosioulis joins Javarus Dudley and Brian Wetzel (who each did it three times), Tebucky Jones, Jr. and Sam Ajala (who did it twice), and Jason Caldwell in recording 1,000-yard seasons.
 
• Senior MJ Wright could become the seventh as he enters Saturday's game with 978 receiving yards this year.
 
• For the third straight season, Fordham grad student linebacker Ryan Greenhagen was named a Preseason All-American as well as to the Buck Buchanan Watch List, presented to the NCAA FCS Defensive Player of the Year, for the second consecutive season.
 
• Greenhagen has amassed 48.0 career tackles for loss, breaking the former school record of 45.0 set by Carl Barbera (1993-1996).
 
• He also has 238 career solo tackles, breaking Ian Williams' (2011-2014) mark of 232.
 
• Next up for Greenhagen is the career total tackles record as he has 405, four behind the school record of 409 held by Mark Blazejewski (1988-1992).
 
• The Fordham captains for 2022 are grad student linebacker Ryan Greenhagen, grad student running back Trey Sneed, grad student offensive lineman Phil Saleh, senior quarterback Tim DeMorat, and senior defensive lineman Jonathan Coste.
 
• No New York area college football team has won more games since 2012 than Fordham, who has amassed 72 victories over that stretch. The closest collegiate competitors are Sacred Heart (64), Stony Brook (60), and Rutgers (46), while the NFL's Giants lead all NYC area professional teams with 68 wins over the past eleven years and the Jets have 60.
