1932 Colgate Red Raiders football team

The 1932 Colgate Red Raiders football team represented Colgate University in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) intercollegiate competition during the 1932 college football season. 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 1933 Rose Bowl, and as such, the team was called "undefeated, untied, unscored upon, and uninvited". 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".

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. 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 NYU Violets at Yankee Stadium.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." In that game, Colgate also debuted new uniforms that featured maroon trousers and a new nickname: the "Red Raiders of Chenango".
