In fall 2015, Bates Football won its second outright CBB title in a row. Linebacker Mark Upton ’17 and wide receiver Mark Riley ’16 (pictured) repeated as All-NESCAC selections, while cornerback Brandon Williams ’17 received his first NESCAC All-Conference honor.
With an emphatic 31-0 victory over Bowdoin on Saturday at Garcelon Field, Bates won the CBB (Colby-Bates-Bowdoin) title outright for the second straight year and the third time in four years. It is the Bobcats' first time repeating as outright CBB champion since 1967.Bates' (2-5) senior class becomes the only one in the modern era, and the first since 1900, to win three CBB titles outright. Bates has also won at least a share of CBB bragging rights for five years in a row and in six of the past seven. Senior quarterback Patrick Dugan (Westford, Mass.) rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown and passed for 114 yards and a score to lead the Bobcat offense, with senior Mark Riley (Needham, Mass.) catching five passes for 93 yards and a touchdown. Dugan posted the most rushing yards by a Bates player since Patrick George rushed for 144 against Hamilton in 2012.
