Shane’s Free Pick

The last time these two teams faced off there wasn’t any defense played and ti’s going to be much of the same in this game. Colgate is an elite offensive team and they want to push the pace. Look for Army to keep pace, at least for a while, and this game is going to be a shootout. Back the over.
