Penn running back Jacob Cisneros led all rushers on eight carries for 65 yards.
The Quakers (1-0) scored their first touchdown in the second quarter. Sophomore receiver Jared Richardson connected with Sayin on a 6-yard pass, extending Penn’s lead, 13-6. Maurcus McDaniel also added a touchdown for Penn on a 22-yard pass from Sayin in the third quarter. The receiver pair combined for 96 yards.
Colgate (0-3) did not score a single touchdown or record any points in the second half. Raiders’ quarterback Michael Brescia finished the day with 182 yards in the air complete with three turnovers, in a pair of interceptions and a fumble.
