A second League trophy could be doled out on Saturday, as Colgate football hosts Lehigh at 1 p.m. on PLN. The Raiders would clinch the 2013 title with a win and earn an automatic bid to the NCAA FCS playoffs, while a Lehigh victory would set up winner-take-all championship game against archrival Lafayette next weekend.
