Bucknell Comes Up Short Against Cornell in Home Opener, 24-16 Joey DeFloria rushed for a career-high 154 yards and Will Carter recorded his sixth career 100-yard receiving game, but the Bucknell football team came up short against Cornell in its home opener at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, falling to the Big Red by a 24-16 score. The Bison scored the game’s first 10 points and had a chance to tie the game on their final drive but came up short on a fourth-and-seven play from the Cornell 20-yard line. DeFloria continued his strong early season play, rushing 27 times for 154 yards and his fifth and sixth touchdowns of the young season. He now has 397 rushing yards this year after totaling 107 in his first two seasons. Carter had nine receptions for 122 yards, including a key fourth-down reception on the final drive of the game for the Bison. He moved into second place on the program’s career receiving yards list with 2,215. Bucknell jumped out on top on its first drive of the game after a Cornell punt. DeFloria ran seven times for 38 yards on the drive that concluded with his one-yard touchdown run. The Bison were in touchdown range on their next drive, but quarterback Matt Muh, who made his first career start in place of R.J. Nitti, had a pass intercepted by a diving D.J. Woullard in the end zone. Bucknell added a 21-yard field goal by Jack Chambers on its next drive, a 17-play, 77-yard marathon that took 7:28 off the clock. The Bison converted one third down and two fourth downs on the drive, including a 22-yard pass from Muh to Carter along the left sideline that put Bucknell on the verge of reaching the end zone. Cornell, which punted on its first three possessions, then scored on four-consecutive possessions, starting with a 41-yard field goal by Zach Mays midway through the second quarter. The Big Red followed with three-straight touchdowns sandwiched around halftime. Cornell’s four scoring drives were an average of 10.5 plays and nearly 70 yards apiece. DeFloria put Bucknell up 16-10 early in the third quarter when he scampered in to the end zone from 26 yards out. He ran five times for 53 yards on the drive. One-hundred and twenty of his 154 yards came on Bucknell’s three scoring drives. The key sequence in the game was Banks’ one-yard touchdown run that put Cornell up 17-16. Woullard then recorded his second interception of the game, and Cornell proceeded to add on the Sullivan touchdown on the ensuing possession. Bucknell then fumbled on its next possession. Even with the turnovers, Bucknell still had a chance to tie on its last possession. The Bison took possession with 9:55 to play and ran 17 plays, but a fourth-down pass intended for Andrew Owers was short and Cornell ran out the remaining 1:47. Bucknell converted three third downs and one fourth down on that final drive. The big play was a 29yard completion to Carter on a fourth-and-14. Muh finished the game 17-for-33 for 215 yards while Banks was 17-for-24 for 160 yards and a touchdown for Cornell. Bret Berg led the Bison defense with a career-high 13 tackles. Ben Richard added 10 stops and Bryan Marine recorded three pass breakups for the second-consecutive week. The Bison converted 7 of 15 third downs and held a 33:16-26:44 advantage in time of possession thanks to holding the ball for nearly 12 minutes in the fourth quarter. At halftime, the Bucknell 1996 Patriot League Championship team was honored, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the only Patriot League title in program history.

The Bucknell football team kicked off its 2017 campaign with a commanding 45-6 victory over Marist on a rainy night at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in front of 3,024 fans. The Bison broke open the game early, scoring four touchdowns in the first quarter, including three in the final two minutes of the frame. Their performance on the field set the stage for a rousing post-game fireworks show. With 8:58 on the clock in the first quarter, Colin Jonov opened the scoring, picking off a Mike White pass and racing 64 yards down the Marist sideline for the score. After a bad snap on the extra point attempt, Jack Horan corralled the ball and found Andrew Podbielski in the right corner of the end zone to give Bucknell an 8-0 lead. The Bison scored three touchdowns in the final two minutes of the opening stanza to build a 28-0 advantage. First, after a 4:11 drive during which Bucknell went 3-for-3 in third-down conversions, Matt Muh connected with Kyle Kinner for an 11-yard score. On Marist’s next possession, Nick Zarkoski sacked White deep in the Marist end. The ball came free, and Blake Fletcher pounced on it in the end zone to extend the Bison’s lead to 21-0. Steven Walier put an exclamation mark on the quarter by hauling in a 45-yard touchdown pass with no time left on the clock. Bucknell carried the momentum from its explosive opening stanza into the second quarter. After the Bison defense forced the Red Foxes to go three and out on their first drive, a penalty on the punt gave the offense the ball on the Marist 28. Bucknell took advantage, and Chad Freshnock capped the abbreviated drive with a three-yard touchdown rush. The Red Foxes thwarted the Bison’s shutout bid 29 seconds before halftime after one of the longest drives of the game. Marcelleus Calhoun finished off the drive, which accounted for 97 of Marist’s 119 first-half yards, with a four-yard score. As the rain picked up, both team’s defenses took center stage. The teams combined for just 156 yards of total offense in the second half, 121 of which belonged to Bucknell. The third quarter’s lone score, a 31-yard John Burdick field goal, came with just 51 seconds Note: This logo left on the clock. Freshnock completed the game’s scoring at the 3:29 mark of the finale frame with his second touchdown rush of the game. Leading up to that play, Muh found a wide-open Podbielski for a 31-yard gain on a 3rd and 7 to set the Bison up on the Marist 15. Muh completed 16 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with seven different receivers. Podbielski led the Bison with a career-best 60 receiving yards while Joey DeFloria had the most catches with four. The Bison defense limited Marist to just 154 yards of total offense, including 24 on the ground. Mark Pyles led the way with eight tackles (five solo) while Ben Richard was close behind with seven (six solo). Eight different Bison had a tackle for a loss, with Abdullah Anderson, Fletcher and Pyles each recording two. Four Bison—Fletcher, Simeon Page, Richard and Zarkoski—had a sack. Alex Pechin helped tilt the field in Bucknell’s favor, averaging 47.0 yards per punt. He dropped three inside the 20 and had two touchbacks.

@Bucknell_FB

Holy Cross toppled the Bucknell football team, 20-0, in the Patriot League opener for both teams at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Diquan Walker rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns while Peter Pujals, a two-time All-Patriot League selection, threw for 178 yards to lead the Crusaders (1-1) past the Bison (1-1). After recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff, Holy Cross started its first drive on the Bucknell 22. While the Crusaders took three penalties on that drive, which pushed them as far back as the Bison 32, Pujals connected with Richie DeNicola for a 30-yard gain that set up Walker for a two-yard touchdown rush. The Bison had a prime opportunity to even the score after Bryan Marine tipped a Pujals pass to Aaron Brown, setting up the offense on the Bucknell 45 with 10:27 on the clock. The Bison reached the Holy Cross 23 thanks to a pass interference penalty and a six-yard Jack Horan reception. But, on a 4th and 4, Matt Muh’s pass to Horan fell just short. With 7:01 remaining in the first, Jack Kutschke forced a fumble, and Tyler Ahmad recovered it to give Holy Cross the ball on the Bucknell 44. The Bison defense came up big, forcing the Crusaders to settle for a 25-yard field goal. During that Holy Cross possession, Chanse Riley had a pair of tackles and a pass breakup. On Bucknell’s first drive of the second quarter, Teddy Capsis sacked Muh deep in the Bison end, and the ball came loose. While Akeem Walcott recovered it on the 13-yard line, the Bucknell defense held fast to force Holy Cross to settle for a 31-yard field goal. The Bison’s longest drive of the first half started at the 6:53 mark of the second quarter. On the second play, Chad Freshnock broke free for a 30-yard gain that advanced Bucknell to the Crusader 34. Freshnock later caught a seven-yard pass on a 4th and 7 to keep the drive alive, but the Bison couldn’t get past the Holy Cross 24. John Burdick’s 41-yard field goal attempt ultimately sailed wide left. At the midpoint of the third quarter, the Crusaders were threatening to extend their lead. In five plays, they went from their nine-yard line to Bucknell’s 30. After Abdullah Anderson and Blake Fletcher teamed to sack Pujals for a loss of six yards, bringing up a 3rd and 11, a pass interference penalty gave Holy Cross a first down. But Jon Fox stepped in front of a Pujals pass on the next play to regain the ball for the Bison. Bucknell went three and out on the resulting drive, and the Crusaders took over on the Bison 35 after a 19-yard punt return by Alim Muhammad. Walker capped the abbreviated drive by rushing for his second touchdown, a two-yard score, at 1:48 of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Bison had the longest drive of the game, an 18-play, 71-yard drive that drained 9:37 off the clock. Muh opened that drive by connecting with Horan for a 14-yard gain and later found Kinner on back-to-back plays for 13 yards. At the Holy Cross 46, Bucknell faced a 4th and 2, but Andrew Podbielski caught a four-yard pass to keep the drive alive. Right after Podbielski’s reception, Muh scrambled 16 yards for a first down. Five plays later, Joey DeFloria nearly found the end zone, but Ryan Brady tackled him a yard shy. Brady’s shoestring tackle ended up being the reason the Crusaders earned their shutout since Oct. 24, 2015 against Lafayette. Holy Cross held strong on the goal line, stuffing two DeFloria rushing attempts short of the end zone and hurrying Muh into throwing an incomplete pass. On 4th and goal from the Crusader nine-yard line, Ahmad tipped Muh’s pass out of Andrew Owers’s reach.

@Bucknell_FB

William & Mary used an explosive third quarter to down the Bucknell football team, 30-9, at Walter J. Zable Stadium in the first meeting between the teams since 1996. At halftime, the Bison (1-2) trailed by a single point, 10-9, but the Tribe (2-1) scored three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter to open up their advantage. On the opening drive of the contest, the Bison marched to the Tribe 24. Early in the drive, Matt Muh connected with Andrew Podbielski for an 11-yard gain and Joey DeFloria scampered for 11 yards on back-to-back plays. But the Bison were ultimately forced to punt after a false start penalty turned a 3rd and 8 into a 3rd and 13 and Isaiah Stephens sacked Muh for a loss of five yards. The Tribe carried the momentum from that defensive stand into their first drive, covering 80 yards on eight plays to score the game’s first touchdown. After Nate Evans broke free for a 34yard rush to set up William & Mary on the Bucknell four-yard line, he capped the drive with a one-yard score. Early in the second quarter, the Tribe had a prime opportunity to go up by two touchdowns after Jalen Christian returned a punt 48 yards to the Bison 20. On the next play, Jaret Anderson nearly found the end zone, but Mark Pyles and Colin Jonov brought him down a single yard short. The Bucknell defense held fast, with Ben Richard stuffing Anderson short of the goal line and Jon Fox wrapping up Evans for a loss of two yards. After Tommy McKee’s pass to Jalen Christian fell incomplete, William & Mary was forced to settle for a 20-yard field goal with 7:22 on the clock. The Bison got on the board on their next drive. On the first play, Muh found Podbielski for a 20-yard gain that brought Bucknell to midfield. While it appeared Nate Akins forced Podbielski to fumble the ball, which was picked up by Aaron Swinton and returned for a touchdown, Podbielski’s knee was ruled to have been down after a review. Three passes later, the Bison were in the red zone. First, Muh found Alan Butler for a 13-yard gain; then, Jack Horan made a sliding catch for a 21-yard gain that advanced Bucknell to the Tribe 16. At the 5:24 mark, Muh found Podbielski in the corner of the end zone for an eight-yard score. Bill Murray blocked the extra point attempt to keep the score 10-6. Note: This logo After the Bison defense forced William & Mary to go three and out on its next drive, three rushes by DeFloria, including one for 19 yards, brought the offense across midfield. Later, Kyle Kinner made a leaping catch for a 31-yard gain that brought Bucknell to the Tribe’s five-yard line. John Burdick capped that drive with a 33-yard field goal after William & Mary stuffed two rushing attempts and a fumbled snap backed the Bison up to the Tribe 16. On William & Mary’s second drive of the third quarter, McKee scrambled out of a collapsing pocket to avoid being sacked. He also drew a face mask penalty, which brought the Tribe from their 26 to their 47. McKee then connected with Daniel Kuzjak for a 29-yard gain that advanced William & Mary to the Bison 24. Three plays later, Noah Giles scampered 15 yards for a score. The Tribe extended their lead to 23-9 less than two minutes later after Nate Atkins forced a fumble, which was returned by Corey Parker 19 yards for a touchdown. William & Mary later brought the score to 30-9 after Tyler Crist capped an eight-play, 60-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown catch with 44 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The third quarter proved to be the difference in the game, as neither team would score again in the fourth.

• The 46-yard field goal was eight yards longer than K John Burdick’s previous career long. It capped a perfect night for him, as he made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his point-after bids to finish with a career-high 10 points. • P Alex Pechin averaged a career-high 48.4 yards on nine attempts to round out a big night for the Bison kickers. • QB John Chiarolanzio set career highs in passing yards (187), completions (21) and attempts (34) in his first 2017 start. He also matched his career-long rush with a 17-yard run that helped set up RB Chad Freshnock’s fourth-quarter touchdown. • In his first game as one of Bucknell’s captains, RB Joey DeFloria rushed for a season-best 80 yards and two touchdowns. • A trio of Bison reached the double figures in tackles: LB Ben Richard (15), LB Mark Pyles (12) and S Joe Lauro (10). Through the first three games, Bucknell’s single-season high in tackles was eight. • Richard also recovered a fumble while Lauro and S Aaron Brown picked off passes. • Richard made his 200th career tackle during the game while Pechin recorded his 100th career punt. • With the win, their second at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in 2017, the Bison exceeded their home win total from 2016 and 2015.

@Bucknell_FB

John Burdick booted a career-best 46-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Bucknell football team to a thrilling 34-31 victory over Sacred Heart at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Joey DeFloria rushed for two touchdowns, Chad Freshnock added another, and John Chiarolanzio threw for 187 yards and a touchdown in his first start of the campaign to help the Bison improve to 2-2. Sacred Heart (2-2) rallied from 14 points down in the fourth quarter and tied the game at 31 apiece when Kevin Duke found Lawrence Nembhard for a 41-yard touchdown with 4:12 remaining in regulation. The Pioneers forced a Bison punt and advanced the ball near midfield, but Ben Richard and Nick Zarkoski teamed up to stuff Duke inches short of a first down on a 4th and 1, giving the Bison a chance to win it. A 24-yard pass from Chiarolanzio to Marcus Ademilola on 3rd-and-8 put the Bison into field goal range, but an incompletion, a one-yard loss and a holding penalty pushed them back to the Sacred Heart 35. Then, Matt Muh, in at quarterback after Chiarolanzio was shaken up, hit Jack Horan for a six-yard gain to the 29 with two seconds remaining. After the Pioneers called two timeouts to ice the kicker, Burdick drilled the 46-yard field goal and sprinted to the opposite end zone in celebration while the bench emptied in pursuit. At the end of the first quarter, Bucknell held a 14-0 advantage. The Bison opened the scoring with 10:45 on the clock when Chiarolanzio found a wide-open Horan for a 38-yard touchdown. Less than two minutes later, after Trevor Fennimore forced a fumble and Ben Richard recovered it at the Sacred Heart 16, DeFloria capped the abbreviated drive with a 12-yard touchdown run. Early in the second quarter, the Bison extended their lead to 17-0 on a 30-yard Burdick field goal. The Pioneers got on the board with 1:38 left in the frame, with Josh Freiria capping a 12-play, 73-yard drive with a 34-yard field goal. Just when it looked like Bucknell would carry a two-touchdown lead into the locker room, Kevin Barry picked off a Chiarolanzio pass and raced 60 yards for a score with just 58 seconds on the clock. The Pioneers carried the momentum from Barry’s pick six into the third quarter, with Ezekiel Ennis returning the opening kickoff 98 yards for a score that tied the game at 17 apiece. On Sacred Heart’s next drive, Aaron Brown intercepted a Duke pass and returned it 19 yards to the Pioneer 13. The Bison took advantage; DeFloria again did the honors, rushing three yards for a score. After the teams traded three and outs, Bucknell took over with 4:39 remaining in the third quarter. Chiarolanzio appeared to hit Alex Twiford for a 48-yard touchdown, but an illegal block in the back penalty brought the ball back to the Sacred Heart 40. The Bison then marched to the red zone, with Chiarolanzio breaking free for a 17-yard gain that brought them to the three-yard line just as time expired in the quarter. Freshnock ultimately punched the ball into the end zone from one yard out 41 seconds into the final fame, giving the Bison a 31-17 lead. The Pioneers cut Bucknell’s edge to a touchdown on their next drive, covering 79 yards in six plays. After Duke found Byron Barney for a 47-yard gain, Eli Terry scampered 11-yards for a score that made it a 31-24 game.

• QB John Chiarolanzio finished with a career-best 204 yards on 19 for 34 passing. His 76-yard pass was 34 yards longer than his previous career long, set against Colgate in 2016. • WR Jack Horan led the Bison with a career-best 95 yards. His 76-yard reception was five more than his previous career long, set on an 71-yard touchdown catch against Marist on Sept. 3, 2016. • S Brandon Benson led the Bison with a career-best 15 tackles (six solo), matching the team season-high set by LB Ben Richard against Sacred Heart. The freshman also posted Bucknell’s lone sack, forcing a fumble in the process. • Benson’s sack broke a streak of two games without one. • RB Marquis Carter became the first freshman to find the end zone when he rushed for a three-yard score in the fourth quarter. • Entering this game, Bucknell hadn’t allowed 200 rushing yards in 2017. The Bison held Marist (24), Holy Cross (134), William & Mary (176) and Sacred Heart (95) all under 200. • At halftime, Monmouth led Bucknell in total offense, 302155. The Hawks recorded 170 yards on the ground through two quarters, just six shy of the highest total the Bison had allowed in 2017. • DB Mike Basile became Monmouth’s all-time leader in career tackles during the game. The STATS Preseason First Team All-American paced the Hawks with seven tackles.

@Bucknell_FB

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. Note: This logo 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.
