1932 Colgate Red Raiders football team
The 1932 Colgate Red Raiders football team represented Colgate University in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) intercollegiate competition. Fourth-year head coach Andrew Kerr led Colgate to a perfect record, and the team did not allow an opponent to score throughout the entire season.
Nevertheless, Colgate did not receive an expected invitation to the , and as such, the team was called "undefeated, untied, unscored upon, and uninvited".〔(Andrew Kerr, Class of 1900 ), Dickinson College, retrieved June 20, 2009.〕 The 1932 Colgate eleven is one of only three college football teams since 1920 to have finished a perfect season without being scored upon. The new maroon uniforms adopted by this team inspired the nickname for the school's athletics program: the "Red Raiders".
==Season==
Colgate was led by fourth-year head coach Andrew Kerr, who had a previous stint at Stanford at the request of Glenn "Pop" Warner. Kerr employed a complex offensive scheme built around Warner's double-wing formation with an additional emphasis on trick plays using reverses and laterals.〔〔 In 1932, Colgate joined a very small number of football teams to have ever compiled an undefeated, untied, and unscored upon season. Since 1920, only Duke in 1938 and Tennessee in 1939 have matched the feat.〔''ESPN College Football Encyclopedia'', p. 249, New York: ESPN Books, 2005, ISBN 1-4013-3703-1.〕 Colgate was also the first Eastern team to have accomplished the deed since 1910 when both Navy and Pittsburgh did so.〔 Colgate won its nine games by a combined margin of 264–0.〔 Throughout the season, Colgate recorded a total of 99 first downs to their opponents' 21; 1,581 yards of total offense to 255; and 45 pass completions to 13.〔 The closest match was a 14–0 victory over the at Yankee Stadium.〔(1932 Colgate Game-by-Game Records ), College Football Data Warehouse, retrieved June 20, 2009.〕 ''Time'' magazine described the NYU defense as porous against Colgate's short-range passing and ground attack, and said the Violets' line "seemed to have a hinge in the middle."〔(Sport: Football, Oct. 31, 1932 ), ''Time'', October 31, 1932.〕 In that game, Colgate also debuted new uniforms that featured maroon trousers and a new nickname: the "Red Raiders of Chenango".〔
In the final game, the likewise undefeated and untied came the closest of any opponent to scoring against Colgate. At the end of the second quarter, with the score at 6–0, the Bears were at the Colgate one-yard line with time for one final play in the half. Brown's quarterback, , held onto the ball on a rushing attempt. He was brought down close to the goal line, and the referees measured it and determined the ball was still two inches shy of the end zone. Instead of playing conservatively to preserve their lead and unblemished record, Colgate took an aggressive approach in the second half. This included a blocked punt which Colgate converted for a safety. Later, Colgate halfback intercepted a pass on his own 20-yard line, and Colgate scored again. In a desperate attempt to score, Brown attempted a fourth down pass, but it fell incomplete and the Bears turned over on downs. Colgate scored on their next possession with a pass from Conroy to Bodganski, for the final score of 21–0.〔(Sport: Football, Dec. 5, 1932 ), ''Time'', December 5, 1932.〕
