The Raiders win their home opener in overtime 37-34 vs. Albany.

Fireworks were scheduled to follow the Colgate football team's home opener, but they occurred on the turf of Andy Kerr Stadium during the game as well.

Colgate needed an extra quarter, but the Raiders beat the high-flying Great Danes of Albany University 37-34 in overtime. Not surprisingly, Colgate counted on all-everything running back Nate Eachus to carry the call into the end zone for the final time and the win Saturday.

Eachus carried on Colgate's last three plays in overtime and had gains of three, five and two yards and his lone TD of the evening. He finished the game with 165 yards on 31 carries.

Sophomore quarterback Gavin McCarney -- starting his first game as a Raider -- was 17 of 24 passing for 210 yards and two TDs. Plus he carried the ball 21 times for 114 yards.
