HAMILTON, N.Y. (WKTV) - The Colgate Raiders will be without starting running back Nate Eachus for at least three to four weeks.

Eachus rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns in Colgate's opening win against monmouth. However on his third touchdown, he appeared to injure himself. It turns out he has a fractured rib. The team is hoping to have him back by the first Patriot League game which is Fordham on September 26th, perhaps as late as the Cornell game on October 3rd.

Senior Mark Colon will start in his place with Sophomore Jordan McCord set as the backup. Don't rule out seeing Ryan Kramer dressed for the game. The Oneida grad was moved to running back during camp. Colgate next faces Stonybrook on Saturday at 6pm.
