LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Grant Breneman threw for 254 yards and a touchdown, James Holland rushed for two scores and Colgate beat Bucknell 27-3 on Saturday for its 10th straight victory.

Colgate (5-0, 3-0 Patriot League) leads the nation in scoring defense at 4.6 points per game. The Raiders have allowed six points in their last four games, including back-to-back shutouts over Lafayette and William & Mary.
