by Marine at Bucknell’s two-yard line during the second stanza.

• Susan broke a tie with Bob Odell, who coached the Bison from 1958 to 1964 and was enshrined in the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1987, for sixth in career wins with Bucknell’s victory at Holy Cross on Sept. 29, 2018. He now needs two wins to tie George Hoskins (1899-1906, 1909) for fifth.

• Sept. 8’s contest with Sacred Heart was Susan’s 100th career game. Before his time at Bucknell, he was the head coach at Davidson in 2000.

• At the conclusion of the 2017 campaign, Susan took sole possession of fourth place in career seasons, passing legendary coaches Odell and Tom Gadd.

• Bucknell’s five non-conference opponents hail from four different conferences: the Big South Conference (Monmouth), the Colonial Athletic Association (Villanova and William & Mary), the Ivy League (Penn) and the Northeast Conference (Sacred Heart).

• The Bison entered the campaign with a 151-244-12 (.371) record against their 2018 opponents, including winning marks against Fordham (18-15), Georgetown (18-11-1) and Sacred Heart (2-1).

Monmouth Tops Bucknell Football in First Meeting Monmouth toppled the Bucknell football team, 35-13, in the first meeting between the teams at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

Four different Hawks rushed for touchdowns, and Erik Zokouri enjoyed his first career 100yard rushing game, to help Monmouth move to 4-1 on the season. With the loss, Bucknell will enter its bye week 2-3.

Monmouth took a 7-0 lead on its first drive, which was highlighted by a 46-yard catch by Jake Powell that advanced the Hawks to the Bison 15. Pete Guerriero capped the six-play, 79-yard drive by punching his way into the end zone from six yards out.

In the first quarter, Bucknell’s best opportunity to get on the board came after John Chiarolanzio found a wide-open Jack Horan in the middle of the field for a 76-yard gain. That play, the first of the Bison’s drive, took them from their nine-yard line to the Hawks’ 15.

But the Monmouth defense held fast, recording two tackles for a combined loss of six yards to push Bucknell back to the Hawk 21. While Chiarolanzio found Joey DeFloria for a seven-yard gain, the Bison came up nine yards short of a first down and opted to attempt a 31-yard field goal.

But a bad snap forced John Burdick to attempt a pass, which was intercepted by Teddy Martinez.

Just six seconds into the second quarter, the Hawks extended their lead to 14-0. Reggie White Jr.’s three-yard touchdown reception completed a nine-play, 86-yard drive that began at the 3:58 mark of the first quarter after Bucknell’s failed field goal. During that drive, Zokouri had a 23-yard run and Kenji Bahar completed an 11-yard pass to White Jr., a 19-yard pass to Powell and a 20yard pass to Zokouri.

The Bison got on the board at the 10:05 mark of the second quarter. After Bryan Marine jumped in front of a Bahar screen pass and returned it 10 yards to the Monmouth four-yard line, Chiarolanzio found Marcus Ademilola for a three-yard touchdown.

The Hawks responded with a touchdown on their next drive. After Zokuri ran the ball fourstraight times for a combined 34 yards, Vinny Grasso broke free for a 39-yard touchdown run with 8:13 on the clock.

Bucknell had an opportunity to trim Monmouth’s advantage after Brice Sydnor forced a fumble and Joe Lauro recovered it on the Bison 29 with 2:56 left in the half. On the first play of that drive, DeFloria scampered for an 18-yard gain to the Bucknell 47. Two plays later, Alex Twiford hauled in a 16-yard pass that advanced the Bison to the Hawk 33. But they were ultimately forced to punt after Sam Pierce sacked Chiarolanzio for a loss of six yards and Dejaun Cooper tied up Chad Freshnock for a three-yard loss.

The Hawks controlled the third quarter, holding the Bison to just 15 yards of offense and scoring two touchdowns to build a 35-6 advantage. First, Devell Jones capped a 10-play, 59-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown rush at the 8:17 mark. Then, with 2:19 to play in the quarter, Bahar scored on a one-yard quarterback keeper to complete a nine-play, 38-yard drive.

Marquis Carter completed the game’s scoring, rushing three yards for his first career touchdown with 11:26 left to play in the game.

The Hawks totaled 463 yards of total offense, 289 on the ground and 171 through the air. The Bison finished with 251 yards of total offense, 204 of which were through the air.

GAME NOTES • With the loss, the Bison had their winning streak in season openers snapped at seven games. They are now 7-2 in season openers under head coach Joe Susan.

• Bucknell moved to 92-40-1 in season openers and 97-34-1 in home openers all time.

• This was the first time the Bison held the Tribe under 30 points; William & Mary dispatched Bucknell by a combined margin of 183-45 in their previous five meetings, an average spread of 27.6 points.

• S Joe Lauro made his 150th career tackle and 100th career solo tackle during the game.

• QB John Chiarolanzio started his first career season opener; the junior had started eight games previously but never Bucknell’s first of the season.

• WR Brandon Sanders was the lone freshman to start the 2018 opener. He ultimately led the Bison with 59 receiving yards on four catches, bolstered by a 21-yard reception on Bucknell’s final drive of the game.

• Six Bison earned their first career start in the 2018 opener: RB Marquis Carter, OL Justis Peppers, DE Sean Naiman, LB Matt Robinson, Sanders and DL Jimmy Sheehan. Sheehan, a junior, and Peppers, a sophomore, had yet to appear in a game before their start against William & Mary.

The Bucknell football team’s defense stood tall all night, but William & Mary prevailed, 14-7, in the season opener for both teams at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

The Tribe entered the fourth quarter with a 7-0 lead thanks to an early touchdown. On the first play of that frame, Joe Schiano came up with a strip sack to give the Bison the ball at William & Mary’s 36-yard line. Five plays later, Marquis Carter scampered 12 yards into the end zone; a good extra point by Jack Chambers made it a 7-7 game.

But the Tribe was quick to respond. On the second play of its next drive, Shon Mitchell connected with DeVonte Dedmon for a 75-yard score that proved to be the difference in a defensive battle played in front of 5,042 fans.

After Dedmon’s go-ahead touchdown, Bucknell had three drives and advanced as far as William & Mary’s 36-yard line. Near the middle of the frame, John Chiarolanzio led the Bison from their one-yard line to their 47 in 12 plays, but a fumble ultimately stalled that promising possession.

Bucknell later got the ball back with 1:14 left to play, and Chiarolanzio found Brandon Sanders for a 21-yard gain and Jared Cooper for a 10-yard gain on back-to-back plays to bring the Bison faithful to their feet. But the game ended when Cooper caught a pass over the middle and was tackled in bounds short of a first down. On that play, a Bucknell player was injured; because there was 10 seconds left on the clock and Bucknell was out of timeouts, the game came to an end on the 10-second runoff rule.

The Tribe controlled the first quarter, using a lengthy game-opening drive to build a 10:46 to 4:14 edge in time of possession. William & Mary’s first touchdown came at the 6:13 mark, with Mitchell capping a 15-play, 68-yard drive that began 11 seconds into the game with a two-yard quarterback keeper score. Early in that drive, Albert Funderburke rushed for 14 yards and Owen Wright dashed for a 13-yard gain on back-to-back plays to bring the Tribe from its 44 to the Bison 29.

Bucknell had an opportunity to tie the game on its next possession after Chiarolanzio orchestrated a seven-play, 54-yard drive to William & Mary’s 21-yard line. Isaiah Laster ultimately intercepted a Chiarolanzio pass intended for Stefone Moore-Green in the corner of the end zone to keep the Bison off the board.

During the second quarter, the teams traded possessions, one of which ended in a Tribe missed field goal, before William & Mary rattled off another long march. From the 10:54 to the 1:44 mark of that quarter, the Tribe traversed 55 yards in 16 plays, most of which were short rushes. But that drive came to an end at Bucknell’s 10-yard line after Fisayo Oluleye forced Funderburke out of bounds for a loss of four yards and then picked off a Mitchell pass in the end zone.

After forcing a quick three and out, William & Mary got the ball back with 1:18 remaining in regulation. The Tribe had a 43-yard Dedmon touchdown catch called back due to an illegal block with 16 seconds left to play, and the Bison went to the locker room down by only a touchdown despite being outgained 226-93 and having the ball for just seven minutes and 17 seconds.

Chiarolanzio finished with 143 yards on 20-for-32 passing, connecting with eight different receivers. Sanders, a freshman, led all Bison receivers with 59 yards on four receptions. On the ground, Carter ran for a career-best 81 yards on 18 carriers; he also posted 13 receiving yards on three catches.

Defensively, Joe Lauro (11) and Bryan Marine (10) reached the double digits in tackles. Four Bison recorded a sack: Schiano, Blake Fletcher, Simeon Page and Nnamdi Unachukwu. Schiano and Unachukwu were both making their collegiate debut.

William & Mary held advantages in total offense (348-257), first downs (20-11) and time of possession (37:25-22:35). Bucknell chipped into its deficit during the second half; at halftime, the Tribe was up 226-93 in total offense, 15-3 in first downs and 22:43-7:17 in time of possession

The Bucknell football team fell to Sacred Heart, 30-14, in its Hero Appreciation Game on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

While Bucknell took a 14-7 lead on a 54-yard pick 6 by Fisayo Oluleye in the middle of the second quarter, Sacred Heart scored 23 unanswered points the rest of the way to knock off its second-straight Patriot League opponent.

The Pioneer defense had a strong showing, limiting the Bison to 178 yards of total offense and eight first downs over the course of the contest. Salaam Horne led the way with 10 tackles (six solo) while Chris Agyemang added three tackles for a loss and two sacks. In total, the Sacred Heart defense recorded five sacks for a loss of 36 yards and 11 tackles for a loss of 48 yards.

Defense was the story of the first quarter as Bucknell and Sacred Heart combined for just five first downs and 91 yards of total offense. The Pioneers opened the scoring at the 10:23 mark, with Meachum breaking free for a 30-yard touchdown rush to cap their first drive of the game.

While Stefone Moore-Greene returned the kickoff following Meachum’s touchdown a career-long 66 yards to the Sacred Heart 34, the Bison couldn’t take advantage of their favorable field position to even the score. The Pioneer defense stood tall, with Robert Steffe sacking John Chiarolanzio for a loss of eight yards to bring up fourth down and force Bucknell to go three and out.

The Bison got on the board with 13:24 on the clock in the second quarter. Brandon Sanders became the first Bucknell freshman to find the end zone, taking a handoff from Chiarolanzio and bursting through a seam for a four-yard touchdown rush. Sanders’s run capped a nine-play, 36yard drive that began at the first quarter’s 2:05 mark following an explosive 31-yard punt return

by Bryan Marine.

On their next possession, the Bison took over at Sacred Heart’s 19-yard line thanks to a muffed snap on a punt. But consecutive false start penalties pushed them back to the Pioneer 28, and two passes fell incomplete. Ultimately, a 41-yard field goal attempt by Jack Chambers was short, keeping the score at 7-7.

Bucknell took the lead less than two minutes later when Oluleye stepped in front of a Duke pass and returned it 54 yards to the end zone. It was Oluleye’s second interception of the young season and the Bison’s first pick 6 since Colin Jonov and Drew Newcomb both returned interceptions for touchdowns at Lafayette on Oct. 21, 2017.

The Pioneers got the ball back with 1:59 left in the first half and ultimately evened the score on a seven-yard touchdown catch by Nathan Balthazard. A highlight of their seven-play, 60-yard scoring drive was a 48-yard catch by Andrew O’Neill that brought them from their 37-yard line to Bucknell’s 15.

Sacred Heart carried the momentum from its last-minute scoring drive into the third quarter.

On back-to-back plays, Meachum rushed for 29- and 33-yard gains to bring the Pioneers from their 28-yard line to the Bison 10. Two plays later, with 12:48 on the clock, Duke scored on a nineyard quarterback keeper to give his team the lead for good.

Sacred Heart controlled the fourth quarter, holding onto the ball for nearly 10 minutes to finish the game with a 35:00 to 25:00 advantage in time of possession. The Pioneers extended their advantage to 30-14 on a 30-yard Josh Freiria field goal at the 7:06 mark and a 32-yard Noel Hijazi fumble recovery score as time expired.

GAME NOTES • CB Bryan Marine became the first Bison to intercept two passes in a single game since S Connor Golden did so against Charleston Southern in 2016. Marine previously intercepted two passes as a freshman at Lafayette on Oct. 31, 2015.

• Marine’s two interceptions gave him nine in his career. He became the Patriot League’s active leader and moved one interception away from entering Bucknell’s top eight.

• S Joe Lauro and LB Simeon Page tied for the team lead with eight tackles apiece. In addition, Lauro and LB Sam Chitty each registered a team-best 1.5 tackles for a loss.

• Bucknell forced five turnovers for the first time since Sept.

3, 2016 at Marist. Beyond Marine’s two interceptions, CB Sterling Deary, S Chanse Riley and S Brice Sydnor recovered fumbles. Deary, a freshman, also forced the fumble that was recovered by Riley.

• Despite enduring eight sacks, QB Logan Bitikofer only lost a net of 16 yards. He gained 29 yards on the ground, with a long of seven.

• Penn held a 10-0 advantage in sacks. DL Cooper Gardner paced the Quakers with three sacks for a loss of 18 yards.

• With its victory, Penn stretched its winning streak over Bucknell to seven games.

The Bucknell football team battled back from a 24-point deficit to draw as close as 10, but Penn held on for a 34-17 victory in its season opener on Saturday afternoon at historic Franklin Field.

While the Bison scored two unanswered touchdowns to make it a two-possession game early in the third quarter, the Quakers’ lead proved insurmountable. Logan Bitikofer, who took over at quarterback halfway through the second frame, energized Bucknell, completing 19 of 35 passes for two touchdowns and 150 yards.

After the teams combined for 37 points on four touchdowns and three field goals in an explosive first half, each team scored one touchdown apiece during the second half. Penn completed the scoring at the 10:21 mark of the fourth quarter on an 11-yard touchdown catch by Kolton Huber; the Quakers held the Bison off the scoreboard the rest of the way, forcing three three and outs and intercepting a pass with 22 seconds remaining in regulation to ice the game.

For Bucknell, Bryan Marine picked off two passes, returning them a combined 34 yards. Also the primary kickoff and punt return man, he finished with a game- and career-high total of 156 all-purpose yards. Jared Cooper also eclipsed 100 all-purpose yards, finishing with 109 on team-best totals in rushing (58) and receiving (51) yards.

In the first five minutes of the game, Penn raced out to a 17-0 lead by taking advantage of two Bison turnovers and a blocked punt. After Jacob Martin picked off John Chiarolanzio’s first pass, the Quakers took over at the Bucknell 36; Karekin Brooks ultimately capped that abbreviated drive with a five-yard touchdown rush.

On the resulting kickoff, Justin Morrison recovered a fumble at the Bison 27 to again give Penn a short field to work with. Bucknell’s defense held fast, with Joe Lauro tying up Abe Willows for a loss of five yards and Marine coming up with a critical pass breakup to force the Quakers to settle for a 49-yard field goal.

After the Bison went three and out on their next possession, Patrick McGettigan blocked a punt and James McCarthy came up with the ball to set up the Penn offense on Bucknell’s seven-yard line. One play later, at the 10:12 mark, Brooks broke free for his second touchdown run.

A 34-yard field goal by Jack Chambers got the Bison on the board with 4:58 on the clock in the first quarter. But, by the 11:59 mark of the second quarter, the Quakers had extended their lead to 27-3 thanks to a 48-yard field goal and an acrobatic, 33-yard touchdown catch by Tyler Herrick.

Bucknell found the end zone for the first time with 3:37 remaining in the first half. After Sterling Deary forced a fumble, and Chanse Riley recovered it at the Penn 32, Bitikofer capped the abbreviated drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Alan Butler. It was Butler’s first touchdown catch of the season and third of his career.

The Bison had an opportunity to cut further into their deficit in the final minutes of the frame, marching to the Quaker’s 16-yard line on a drive highlighted by a 25-yard Cooper rush. But Bitikofer was sacked for a loss of six yards, and back-to-back incomplete passes forced Bucknell to try for a 36-yard field goal. Chambers’s bid went wide left, and Penn went to the locker room up, 27-10.

The Bison scored the third quarter’s lone touchdown two minutes into the frame. Marine set up the score by intercepting his first pass of the game and returning it 26 yards to the Penn 14. Two plays later, Bitikofer found Andrew Owers for an 11-yard touchdown, his first score since October 2016.

Bucknell held a slim lead in time of possession (30:22-29:38) but was outgained by a 274-189 margin. The Quaker defense totaled 10 sacks for a loss of 60 yards and 14 tackles for a loss of 65 yards, cutting significantly into the Bison’s offensive totals.

GAME NOTES • S Conner Romango made a career-high 12 tackles in his first career start. Entering the game, he owned just two career tackles.

• A game after matching his career high with two interceptions at Penn, CB Bryan Marine recovered a career-high two fumbles, doubling his career total in the process.

• P Alex Pechin’s 51.0 punting average was one yard shy of Bucknell’s school record, which was set in 1962.

• Pechin’s 71-yard bomb is tied for the third longest punt in school history. He now owns Bucknell’s third- (71, 2018), seventh- (67, 2017) and 10th(64, 2017) longest punts.

• For Villanova, QB Zach Bednarczyk completed 11 of 17 passes for 281 yards while WR Josh McGrigg finished with 187 yards. Six Wildcats rushed for at least 30 yards.

• Villanova held a 28-8 edge in first downs and a 37:10-22:50 advantage in possession time.

• Entering the game, the Wildcats ranked in the FCS’s top 30 in passing efficiency (18th, 163.53), rushing defense (19th, 95.3), total defense (23rd, 318.3) and passing offense (26th, 286.0). They were averaging 433.3 yards of offense per game, a mark good for 32nd. Bednarczyk had thrown for 858 yards in Villanova’s first three games, good for 12th nationally.

No. 14/15 Villanova downed the Bucknell football team, 49-7, at Villanova Stadium in the first meeting between the Pennsylvania programs since 2005.

The Bison, who last faced a ranked opponent during the 2016 campaign, were stymied by a slow start for the second-straight game. During the first quarter, the high-powered Wildcats stormed out to a 28-0 lead. They needed just 12 offensive plays to score their four touchdowns, three of which came on the ground and one of which was a school-record 90-yard bomb by Zach Bednarczyk to Josh McGrigg. In total, they racked up 230 yards of offense and limited the Bison to just 32, all but three of which came through the air.

Bucknell got on the board at the 7:56 mark of the second quarter, capitalizing on a Villanova fumble during a punt return. Ryan Brida forced the fumble, and Mike Colantuono came up with the ball at the Wildcat 12. Three plays later, Logan Bitikofer scored his first career rushing touchdown on a one-yard quarterback keeper.

In total, the Bison defense forced three turnovers during the second frame. First, Brice Sydnor picked off a pass in the end zone to halt a promising Villanova drive. Then came Colantuono’s clutch recovery in the red zone. Finally, Matt Robinson forced a fumble, which was recovered by Bryan Marine, a play after Bednarczyk found McGrigg for a 48-yard gain to the Bucknell 16. But, one play later, a Bitikofer pass was intercepted by Jaquan Amos and returned to the one-yard line; Aaron Forbes ran for his second touchdown one play later to make it a 35-7 game.

The Wildcats covered 86 yards in seven plays, five of which were passes for at least 10 yards, to extend their lead to 42-7 entering the locker room. A two-yard quarterback keeper by Bednarczyk capped that drive with 16 seconds left in the half.

At the half, Villanova held a 434-61 lead in total offense. Bednarczyk had 266 yards on just nine passes, five of which went to McGrigg for 187 yards. In addition, four Wildcats had at least 35 yards on the ground. Bucknell only allowed 400 yards once in 2017, in a 35-13 loss to FCS Championship participant Monmouth.

Villanova, which pulled Bednarczyk early in the third quarter, completed the game’s scoring at the 14:56 mark of the fourth quarter. A four-yard touchdown rush by D’Andre Pollard capped a 10-play, 40-yard drive. In the dying minutes of the game, the Bison had an opportunity to find the end zone once again. After Simeon Page and Sam Chitty combined for a sack on 4th and 9, Bucknell took over at its 39 with 4:48 on the clock. Bitikofer led the Bison to the Wildcat 12, most notably finding Stefone Moore-Greene for 29 yards on three-straight passes. But the Bison came up just short of a first down on 4th and 11 at the Villanova 13, with Bitikofer connecting with Dominic Lyles for only eight yards.

For the Bison, Bitikofer completed 11 of 24 passes for 87 yards. Moore-Green’s 29 receiving yards, all of which came in succession in the fourth quarter, led the team. Jared Cooper paced Bucknell with 28 yards on the ground.

Defensively, Conner Romango led the Bison with a career-best 12 tackles (nine solo) while Chitty was next with a career-high 11 (six solo). Chitty also made a team season-best 3.5 tackles for a loss while Page posted a team-high 1.5 sacks.

Preseason All-American Alex Pechin had a sensational game, averaging a career-high 51 yards on nine punts. He landed four inside the 20 and had five sail for at least 50 yards, including a career-long 71-yard bomb that pinned Villanova at its two-yard line.

The Wildcats finished with a 609-128 advantage in total offense; they had near equal totals of rushing (302) and receiving (307) yards.

The Bucknell football team withstood a furious Holy Cross comeback to win its Patriot League opener, 19-16, at Fitton Field. The Bison (1-4, 1-0 PL) built a 19-7 lead on a 36-yard touchdown rush by Jared Cooper and a 22-yard touchdown throw by Logan Bitikofer to Alan Butler. While the Crusaders (1-4, 0-2 PL) responded with a safety and a touchdown of their own to draw within a field goal at the 6:57 mark of the fourth quarter, Bucknell’s offense drained 6:13 off the clock by marching from its 18-yard line to Holy Cross’s 26 in 13 plays.

Following a missed 43-yard field goal attempt, the Crusaders got the ball back with 36 seconds remaining in regulation. After Geoff Wade had three passes fall incomplete, Holy Cross went for it on 4th and 10. Joe Lauro came up with his second pass breakup of the sequence to seal the victory, leveling Richie DeNicola at midfield and knocking the ball away in the process.

Cooper, who was awarded the Johnny Turco Memorial Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player of Holy Cross’s Homecoming Day Game, led the Bison with 75 yards on 24 carries. All but 19 of his yards came during the Bison’s second-half surge, which saw them post 205 of their season-best 280 yards of total offense.

At halftime, Bucknell trailed by a 7-6 margin. The Bison took their first lead of the game at the third quarter’s 9:25 mark on Cooper’s first career touchdown. The freshman broke two tackles and then outraced two Crusaders to the end zone, giving Bucknell a 12-7 advantage; the Bison attempted a two-point conversion, but Bitikofer’s pass fell incomplete.

A clutch fumble recovery by Roger Mellado at Holy Cross’s 27-yard line set up Butler’s second touchdown of the season. That score, which came with 11:06 remaining in regulation, proved to be the difference as the Crusaders came roaring back.

On the possession after Butler’s diving touchdown, Wade hit DeNicola in stride for a 72-yard gain.

DeNicola appeared destined for the end zone, but Lauro and Bryan Marine caught him at the Bison’s 10-yard line, setting up their goal-line stand. After Domenic Cozier picked up nine yards on two carries to bring the Crusaders to the one-yard line, Mellado stopped Wade on 3rd and 1 and Marine and Page teamed to halt Cozier on 4th and 1 to give Bucknell the ball back.

Holy Cross ultimately picked up a safety two plays later to cut its deficit to 19-9. After forcing the Bison to go three and out on their next possession, Wade found DeNicola for a 59-yard touchdown to make it a 19-16 game.

During the first quarter, the Crusaders limited the Bison to 21 yards of total offense and a single first down. They jumped out to the lead at the 4:46 mark, with Cozier muscling his way into the end zone from seven yards out to cap an 11-play, 81-yard drive.

Bucknell regrouped in the second frame, using the first two field goals of Ethan Torres’s career to trim Holy Cross’s advantage to 7-6. Both of Torres’s field goals, which came from 26 and 18 yards out, were set up by big plays.

First, Bitikofer found Brandon Sanders for a 46-yard gain to set up the Bison at the Crusaders’ nine-yard line. Torres was ultimately called out to kick a field goal with 12:49 on the clock after a pair of Bitikofer passes fell incomplete and Cooper was tied up by Chris Riley for no gain.

Bucknell forced Holy Cross to punt on its next possession. And Marine returned that 50-yard bomb

by Derek Ng a career-long and team season-best 67 yards. Marine slipped free of an early tackle, found open field and flew down the visiting sideline all the way to the Crusaders’ 13-yard line before being dragged down.

A pass interference penalty brought the Bison to the two-yard line, but the Holy Cross defense held fast to keep them out of the end zone. After Cooper gained one yard on a pair of carries, the Crusaders stuffed Bitikofer on third and goal; Torres then kicked his second field goal with 7:34 left in the half to pull Bucknell within a single point.

The Bison defense was the story of the second quarter. They held Holy Cross to just 11 yards of total offense and four first downs. Grayson Cherubino and Simeon Page led the defensive surge, each recording 1.5 sacks for a combined loss of 27 yards in the frame.

BucknellBison.com >> @Bucknell_FB >> #BandOfBison

The Bucknell football team fell to No. 20/21 Colgate, 27-3, at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

While the Bison (1-5, 1-1 Patriot League) held the unbeaten Raiders (5-0, 3-0 Patriot League) scoreless through the first quarter, they couldn’t secure their first 2-0 start to Patriot League play since 2014. Colgate, which blanked its past two opponents by a combined margin of 68-0, scored two touchdowns in the second quarter’s final 10 minutes to break open what had been a defensive battle.

The Bison got on the board at the third quarter’s 8:42 mark, snapping the Raiders’ shutout streak at 12 quarters. Ethan Torres’s 25-yard field goal was set up by a Brandon Benson interception at the Colgate 33, the first of his collegiate career. After Bryan Marine tipped a Grant Breneman pass, Benson made a diving play to catch the ball before it touched the ground.

On a 3rd and 11, Logan Bitikofer found Alan Butler for a 24-yard gain to set up Bucknell at the Raiders’ 10-yard line. A penalty later gave the Bison a first down at the five-yard line, negating a Nick Wheeler sack for a loss of seven yards that would have brought up 4th and long. Colgate’s stalwart defense ultimately held fast, and Bucknell settled for Torres’s third field goal in two games.

Benson’s interception was one of three turnovers the Bison defense forced over the course of the contest. Early in the first quarter, Joe Lauro became the second player to pick off a Breneman pass in 2018, fighting off Nick Diaco to stall a promising Colgate drive deep in Bison territory.

During the second frame, Lauro came up with a fumble forced by Marine at Bucknell’s two-yard line; Marine managed to knock the ball away from Breneman as he was diving towards the end zone, and Lauro dove on the ball before Breneman could recover it.

At halftime, the Raiders held a 246-76 advantage in total offense, bolstered by a second quarter that saw them rack up 174 yards. Colgate opened the scoring at the second quarter’s 14:07 mark on a Chris Puzzi field goal; Puzzi’s 37 yarder was set up by a dynamic 60-yard punt return

by Abu Daramy-Swaray in the dying minutes of the first quarter.

On the Raiders’ next possession following Lauro’s clutch fumble recovery, Breneman orchestrated a scoring drive that spanned 52 seconds. After Breneman completed three-straight passes for 35 yards, James Holland ran three yards into the end zone to make it a 10-0 game with 9:11 left in the half. As before, Daramy-Swaray set up the scoring drive with a dynamic punt return, this one of 22 yards to the Bison 38.

Colgate extended its advantage to 17-0 at the second quarter’s 4:17 mark when Breneman found Owen Rockett wide open in the secondary. Rockett then raced down the field for an 86-yard touchdown, tied for the second-longest passing play in Raider history.

Colgate added a 42-yard Puzzi field goal at the third quarter’s 2:17 mark and a one-yard Holland touchdown rush that capped a 14-play, 93-yard march with 8:58 remaining in regulation to bring the final score to 27-3.

The Raiders held advantages in total offense (448-199), first downs (22-12) and time of possession (34:04-25:56). They have allowed an average of just 4.6 points per game in 2018, a figure which leads the FCS.
