True, we will not learn a great deal playing an opponent like Colgate. That being said, I would like to see:
1. A focused, sharp team. No stupid penalties.
2. Domination by both OL and DL.
3. A more creative running game. For example, we have James, an extremely fast RB returning kick-offs. He's not going to get a chance to return kick-offs because top level teams will kick it through the end zone. Develop some plays for him as an RB to use that 4.2 speed.
 
They have to figure out the run game. Doing that will probably cause an inconsistent offense.

On the flip side you could run the offense get the lead and then work on the run game but that wont help the starters.

James is not the guy to use. He can only run in a straight line. If he had football skills he would've been a 5-star with that speed. Maybe try him on a wheel route or something, that's about all you can do.
 
Spread is only -12
Where you see that?

I would like to see the offensive line pick up a d line stunt or blitz.

I also would like to see a few turnovers.

Agree with James point. Needs a jet sweep or screen pass
 
I would like to see Angeli more in sync with the line and receivers. This includes no tipped passes, no throws over the heads of the receivers, and multiple catches for 30+ yards in the air. On the defensive side, I want at least 3 sacks and no chunk plays of 25+ yards. I think all of this should be attainable. Bigger wishes include no punts and no sacks on offense.
 
It's a tune up game, so we want to see it play out like that. It should be a relaxing watch, and it should be evident on the field early that we athletically overmatch Colgate, and the scoreboard clearly reflects that by halftime. Lots of deeper bench guys should play. We shouldn't expect to see anything new or different from what we saw the last two weeks. This game is about working out the kinks.
