SEASON PREVIEW <<< <<< QUARTERBACK >>> >>>

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

New Bison head coach Dave Cecchini has mentored his fair share of quarterbacks to record-setting campaigns. Among his notable protégés are Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has played in nearly 150 NFL games following a standout career at Harvard during the mid-2000s, and Chris Lum, who was a runner-up for the 2011 Walter Payton Award after setting Patriot League single-season records in passing yards (4,378) and touchdown passes (32) at Lehigh. At Bucknell, Cecchini will install an up-tempo, no-huddle offense. His offenses are known for their complexity and their aggressiveness, particularly on fourth down. And everything starts at the quarterback position. “We’re looking for an intelligent player who is calm under fire,” Cecchini said. “We run a sophisticated offense so we need a quarterback who can make quick decisions and maintain his composure. Accuracy is important because we do a lot of shorter range throws. We’re not afraid to chuck it deep so having arm strength is certainly a plus.” During preseason camp, senior John Chiarolanzio, junior Logan Bitikofer and sophomore Tarrin Earle will all have the opportunity to prove they have what it takes to lead Cecchini’s new-look offense. “Quarterback is one of our biggest question marks QUARTERBACK Career right now,” Cecchini said. Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts “Chiarolanzio, Bitikofer 4 John Chiarolanzio Sr. 6-3 215 11 10 Tarrin Earle So. 6-3 195 3 and Earle all did a nice job 12 Logan Bitikofer Jr. 6-3 210 5 in the spring, but none of 16 Keyshawn Copeland Fr. 6-2 160 them showed they deserve 4 on roster: 1 senior, 1 junior, 1 sophomore, 1 freshman to be the starter. It will be an open audition through camp and, most likely, into the first weeks of the season. Our incoming freshman, Keyshawn Copeland, will also get a chance if he can learn our system.” Of the returnees, Chiarolanzio boasts the most game experience. The lion’s share of his 11 starts came in 2017, when he threw for a career-best 1,069 yards and five touchdowns. Cecchini noted that the gunslinger “picked up the offense the fastest and is, right now, the most comfortable with it.” Bitikofer and Earle both saw their first game action a year ago. Bitikofer led the Bison with 1,050 yards and seven touchdowns, most notably throwing for 267 yards and three touchdowns against Lafayette; he became the first Bucknell signal caller since 2015 to toss three touchdown passes in a single game. Earle, who started the final three games after Bitikofer was felled by injury, posted 386 yards and three touchdowns through the air. “Bitikofer did a nice job with his arm strength and his accuracy in the spring,” Cecchini said. “Earle made plays with his feet. He’s the best athlete of the group, but it took him the longest to get comfortable with the new offense. He’s getting there, and he played well in the spring game.” Like Earle, Copeland is an athletic quarterback. Cecchini liked what he’s seen of the newcomer on film, noting that “he’s a gifted player who makes things happen.” Copeland, who held a Power Five offer, threw for over 4,600 yards and 60 touchdowns during high school; he also made plays on the ground, once rushing for a 67-yard score. “We do like to have someone who is athletic at quarterback because that adds an extra element to our game plan,” Cecchini said. “But that’s not a prerequisite. We’ve had a lot of successful quarterbacks who were traditional pocket passers. Our main objective is to find a guy who’s a reliable, accurate passer.”

<<< <<< RUNNING BACK >>> >>> The injury bug bit Bucknell’s running backs a year ago, limiting the group’s effectiveness. Entering the 2018 campaign, the Bison were expected to have a potent one-two punch in Chad Freshnock and Marquis Carter, both big, powerful runners who were also effective receivers and blockers. But Freshnock suffered a season-ending injury right before preseason camp began, and Carter went down for good in the fourth quarter of Bucknell’s season opener. Just like that, the Bison found themselves down to three running backs, two

CHAD FRESHNOCK of whom converted from other positions during preseason camp. Jared Cooper, who was originally expected to be a role player as a freshman, stepped up. He led Bucknell with 525 yards and two touchdowns on the ground and also finished third on the team in receiving yards (287) and touchdown catches (2). His signature performance came at Monmouth, where he posted a season-high 171 all-purpose yards on 87 rushing yards and 84 receiving yards; after taking a slant pass from Bitikofer, he found a seam and outraced the Hawk defense to score a season-long 74-yard touchdown. The injury bug RUNNING BACK Career ultimately bit Cooper as Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts well, causing him to miss 20 Chad Freshnock Sr. 6-0 220 5 the season finale and part 21 Jared Cooper So. 5-7 180 9 of the spring. Entering 23 Alex Barnard Fr. 5-10 170 preseason camp, however, 26 Joe Fex (also WR) Jr. 5-9 180 1 he, Carter and Freshnock 35 Marquis Carter Jr. 6-0 215 1 are healthy. And Cecchini 5 on roster: 1 senior, 2 juniors, 1 sophomore, 1 freshman couldn’t be more excited about what each brings to his offense. “We have a wealth of talent coming back with Freshnock, Carter and Cooper,” Cecchini said. “They all have game experience, and they all showed in the spring that they can be very effective in our system. The jury is still out on who will start. We’re very happy with all three of them.” Freshnock, a senior, was an impact player in 2017. The team leader with 525 yards on the ground, he showed flashes of greatness in the Bison’s Homecoming game against rival Lehigh. He shredded the Mountain Hawk defense, rushing for 174 yards on 16 carries. He also became the first Bison since 2014 to score three rushing touchdowns in a single contest, one of which was an 85yard scamper good for fifth in Bucknell’s history. Carter, who made the most of his limited action in 2017, appeared poised to have a breakout sophomore campaign. Against William & Mary, he ran for 81 yards and a touchdown before going down with injury. His 81 yards was 31 more than he registered as a freshman. “They all bring a different skill set to the table,” Cecchini said. “Freshnock is the most physical runner. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Cooper is a jitterbug type who has great acceleration and can make guys miss. Carter is a blend of both. He has size and a slashing running style. They’re all multi-talented. They can catch the football, run routes and help out on special teams. We’re very pleased. It’s one of our deepest positions on offense.” Beyond the Big Three, Cecchini foresees junior Joe Fex being an important role player. Fex, a former safety, started the 2018 finale in Cooper’s place; he ran for 56 of his 77 yards on the season and also scored his first touchdown.

<<< <<< WIDE RECEIVER >>> >>>

<<< <<< OFFENSIVE LINE >>> >>> At first glance, it would appear that Bucknell boasts experience and depth at offensive line. The Bison return seven offensive linemen with starting experience, including three who have started at least 10 career games. Only one 2018 starter, All-Patriot League Second Team honoree Pat Finn, was lost to graduation. Yet, Cecchini admitted that the offensive line is one of the biggest areas of concern for him and his staff. “It’s really underrated when you get five guys who are confident in what they’re doing and have gelled with each other,” Cecchini said. “We haven’t seen that in this group. A lot of them played at separate times or moved around on the line. So that gel isn’t there. And then you throw in that it’s an entirely different offense. Quarterback and offensive line are the two positions where it takes the longest to get comfortable with a new offense. It takes longer for them to process what they’re supposed to do and then execute it at 100 percent speed.” As Cecchini began to install his new offense during the spring, a number of offensive linemen were out with injury; entering preseason camp, those players will have a lot of catching up to do if they hope to earn a spot on the line. “It’s a concern we were going through process of installing a new offense with the amount of offensive linemen we had injured,” Cecchini said. “They were watching instead of actually doing it, and that makes a difference.” Cecchini was most impressed with junior P.J. Barr, sophomore Jacob Russ and junior Alex Bolinger in the spring. Of that group, Barr boasts the most experience; one of only two juniors to appear in all 22 of Bucknell’s games during

<<< <<< TIGHT END >>> >>> As they do at running back, the Bison have three solid options at tight end. Senior Marcus Ademilola is back from an injury that cost him the 2018 campaign while junior Alex Twiford and sophomore Dylan DeMarco pushed each other to new heights during the spring. Cecchini is thrilled to have Ademilola, a physically imposing pro-style tight end, at his disposal. In 2017, Ademilola enjoyed a breakout junior year, leading the Bison in receptions (32) and finishing fourth in receiving yards (233). During Bucknell’s final three games, he racked up 157 yards and hauled in a 36-yard touchdown pass against Georgetown. “Ademilola is excited to get going, and we’re excited to see him,” Cecchini said. “We know he’s a very talented football player, and we’re counting on him to be a big part of our offense. We’re excited to see what he can do and how

Cecchini liked what he saw from his wide receivers during the spring. While he admitted that there’s room for improvement, as the group isn’t the most experienced he’s coached, he said that it has depth and talent across the board. Cecchini believes that Brandon Sanders, a versatile sophomore who can play all three positions, will become a marquee player in his offense. Sanders was a standout performer as a freshman, leading the Bison in receiving yards (516) and being tabbed as the first recipient of the Theodore S. Ratkus Leadership Award, presented for character, courage and commitment to team play. “Sanders is a phenomenal athlete,” Cecchini said. “There’s no doubt he’s a difference maker. Right from our first practice, he was a standout performer. He’s a gifted route runner. He has excellent hands. He always wants the football when it’s in the air, and, when it’s in his hands, he can make people miss. And he’s far from a one-dimensional receiver. He’s an eager blocker. He plays every down as hard as he possibly can. His toughness is very admirable.” Senior Justin Bethea, WIDE RECEIVER Career who missed the spring Cl. Ht. Wt.

Beyond Sanders and Bethea, Cecchini highlighted sophomore Dominic Lyles and senior Steven Walier, both rangy deep threats, and junior Blais Herman, a versatile “steady eddie,” as receivers to watch. “Lyles battled injury in the spring, but we know he’s a deep threat,” Cecchini said. “Walier was probably our most improved wide receiver. He’s also a dangerous deep threat. Herman really stepped up in the spring. Because of injuries, he played a bunch of different positions. He should see the field because of his versatility and incredible hands.” Fex, who also could see time at running back, and senior Stefone MooreGreen will be important role players. Cecchini praised Moore-Green for “playing bigger than his size” and noted that “he’s a blazer who can flat out run.” Cecchini wouldn’t be surprised if sophomore Renn Lints, a converted quarterback who’s a big target, sees the field in 2019. In addition, Cecchini believes that freshmen Connor Holmes, a shifty slot receiver, and Matt McCreight, a versatile and cerebral receiver, have the potential to earn playing time.

DeMarco, a valuable special teams player who saw limited action as a blocking tight end a year ago, impressed Cecchini during the spring. “Twiford and DeMarco had a back-and-forth battle throughout the spring,” Cecchini said. “Twiford was a very consistent performer. He’s a guy we feel we can count on. DeMarco has shown flashes of being a dangerous pass receiving threat and is developing into a solid blocker. We’re happy with our tight ends.”

his time in Lewisburg, he leads the team with 19 career starts. Barr, who enters preseason camp as the starting left guard, primarily played right guard in 2018. “Barr is a guy who’s played a lot of snaps,” Cecchini said. “He’s confident. He’s physical. He has an attitude about him on the playing field that we’re excited about. He’s a guy who I can see becoming a vocal leader on the line.” Russ, who didn’t see game action as a freshman, impressed Cecchini with his work ethic and ability to snap the football. “We think Russ has an OFFENSIVE LINE Career exciting future in our of Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts fense,” Cecchini said. “He’s 54 Sean Norton So. 6-5 240 really pushing himself in 57 Chuck Sanders Sr. 6-0 310 9 our strength program, and 58 Alex Bolinger Jr. 6-2 285 he’s starting to become 64 Jacob Russ So. 6-3 250 a more physical football 65 Zack Tarburton Fr. 6-3 265 player.

He’ll get a chance to hopefully do some good things this year.” Entering camp, sophomore Noah Sansalone (left tackle), Barr (left guard), Russ (center), Bolinger (right guard) and sophomore Michael Killiri (right tackle) are listed as the starters. Cecchini said that Sanders, a versatile senior who can play all five positions, will also be a key piece of Bucknell’s offensive line. In addition, he noted that junior Justis Peppers could earn a starting role at left tackle depending on how quickly he picks up the offense after missing the spring to injury; Peppers, who started 10 games a year ago, is a physical specimen at 6-foot-4 and 330 pounds. “We have to continue to gel at offensive line,” Cecchini said. “It’s not an extremely experienced group of guys, and it’s not an extremely deep group of guys. The guys that were healthy came along way during the spring. They started to gel. They started to get comfortable in the offense. They were much better the last four or five practices than they were the first nine or 10. But we still have a number of guys who aren’t healthy, and we have a long ways to go.”

<<< <<< DEFENSIVE LINE >>> >>> Historically, defensive line has been one of Bucknell’s strengths. Every season since 2010, the Bison have placed at least one defensive lineman on the All-Patriot League First Team, with Abdullah Anderson earning 2017 All-America laurels before going on to sign with the Chicago Bears. A year ago, Bucknell was young and inexperienced at defensive line. Entering that season, the Bison returned only three defensive linemen who had played in at least 10 career games. Now another year older, with a full season under their belt, Bucknell’s defensive linemen appear poised to be as disruptive to opposing offenses as ever. “This is a group that really challenged the offense throughout the spring because of their intensity, talent and physicality,” Cecchini said. “We feel that this is a really good group of football players.” Entering preseason camp, junior Roger Mellado (defensive end), junior Nnamdi Unachukwu (defensive tackle), senior John Hunt (nose guard) and sophomore Grayson Cherubino (defensive end) are listed as the starters. Of that group, Mellado is the most experienced; one of only two juniors to appear in all 22 of Bucknell’s games during his time in Lewisburg, he is tied for second on

JOE SCHIANO the team with 17 career starts. An impact player since his freshman campaign, he became the rare underclassman to capture the George Rieu Award as Bucknell’s outstanding defensive lineman a year ago. “Mellado is a guy who has a really high motor,” DEFENSIVE LINE Career Cecchini said. “He has that Cl.

The sky is the limit for Cherubino. He’s a younger player who really impressed us during the spring.” Hunt, who was a key member of Bucknell’s defensive rotation in 2017 before losing much of 2018 to injury, also impressed Cecchini during the spring. “On defense, Hunt was one of the most improved players,” Cecchini said. “He was physical and showed toughness. He moved up the depth chart.” Cecchini is especially pleased with his depth at defensive line. Projected as backups are fifth year Joe Schiano, seniors Sean Naiman, Jimmy Sheehan and Blake Fletcher, junior Clay Myers and sophomore Ryan Betz. Cecchini said that having experienced defensive linemen waiting in the wings is especially valuable in today’s college football landscape. “With the up-tempo offenses that are starting to permeate college football, you need to play eight defensive linemen over the course of the game,” Cecchini said. “It’s a physically demanding position. You’re going to have to defend 80 or sometimes even 90 snaps in a football game. That’s hard to do at defensive line. Having that group of battle-tested, physical upperclassmen will help us. You don’t want to have a really big dip from your starters to your backups, and we shouldn’t have that. We expect big things from this unit.”

<<< <<< LINEBACKER >>> >>>

<<< <<< SAFETY >>> >>> Last year, safety was one of Bucknell’s deepest and most experienced positions. This year, it’s one of the least, with no seniors and only one returnee with significant starting experience. Despite that, Cecchini is confident in the unit, particularly because of the play of juniors Brandon Benson and Conner Romango during the spring. Benson, the most experienced returnee, showed flashes of brilliance in his first two seasons. As a freshman in 2017, he finished third on the team with 68 tackles; he took fifth with 52 tackles a year ago despite missing three games to injury. Cecchini said that Benson is an athletic player with a nose for the ball. “Benson really stood out,” Cecchini said. “He’s an athletic guy who made a

SAM CHITTY lot of plays in the spring. We’re going to rely on him to step up and play a lot of snaps for us.” While Romango primarily played on special teams in 2018, he made an impact in his two starts at safety. He posted 19 of 22 tackles in those games, with 12 (nine solo) coming at then No. 14/15 Villanova. “Romango was one of Career the most improved players SAFETY Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts on defense,” Cecchini said. 3 Brandon Benson Jr. 6-0 210 11 “He picks things up very 17 Gavin Pringle Fr. 5-11 170 quickly. He’s one of those 24 Gerrit Van Itallie Jr. 5-10 210 4 players who can make 31 Brent Jackson Fr. 6-2 200 decisions and play at full 33 Conner Romango Jr. 5-11 190 2 speed all of the time. He 36 Justin Murray Fr. 6-1 225 made a lot of plays in the 39 Brian Brown Fr. 6-2 190 spring, and it was great to 7 on roster: 3 juniors, 4 freshmen see him step up.” Because Van Itallie was out with injury, Cecchini wasn’t able to decide if he belongs at strong safety, free safety or “Star” linebacker. Despite that, Cecchini expects big things from Van Itallie, who put together one of Bucknell’s finest individual performances of the 2018 campaign at Monmouth; he filled the stat sheet with eight tackles (seven solo), three tackles for a loss of 14 yards, one sack for a loss of nine yards, two blocked punts and one forced fumble. “Van Itallie hasn’t played reps in our defense so we don’t know how we’re going to utilize him,” Cecchini said. “We know he’s an impact guy but still need to evaluate where he’ll fit in best.” Because of the unit’s relative lack of depth, freshmen Brent Jackson, Justin Murray and Gavin Pringle could earn playing time right away. “They’re all good football players,” Cecchini said. “Depending on how quickly they adapt to our scheme, they could find spots at safety, cornerback or ‘Star’ linebacker.”

<<< <<< CORNERBACK >>> >>> What Bucknell’s cornerbacks lack in experience, Cecchini believes they make up for in raw talent. And he’s very excited to see what they’ll accomplish over the course of the 2019 campaign. “The talent is definitely there,” Cecchini said. “Our returning guys got a ton of snaps in the spring, and they all showed they can be very good football players. They just need game experience. It’s one of the reasons I’m excited about the first half of our schedule. We have talent, but it hasn’t been tested. If they can go out and cover receivers from teams like Temple and Villanova, and get through

While Bucknell’s defense won’t have as radically of a different look as its offense, Cecchini made significant philosophical changes at linebacker. Gone is the “X,” a hybrid linebacker/defensive lineman often tasked with blitzing the quarterback. In its place is the “Star,” a hybrid linebacker/safety that is especially effective in defending against spread offenses. Junior Simeon Page may be transitioning from the “X” hybrid position to “Will” linebacker, but Cecchini expects him to remain the X factor on the Bison defense. A two-time All-Patriot League honoree, Page has terrorized opposing offenses to the tune of 84 tackles, 22 tackles for a loss and 13.5 sacks; he enters 2019 needing just three sacks to crack Bucknell’s career top 10 despite missing six games to injury over the past two seasons. “Page is healthy, and he’s LINEBACKER Career getting better at the line Cl.

After starting the 2018 campaign on special teams, he took on an expanded role at linebacker in the final five games with Page lost to injury. He ultimately took second among Bison with 10 tackles for a loss, 9.5 of which came in the final four contests; he had a breakout game in the season finale against Fordham, posting team season-high totals in tackles (14), tackles for a loss (3.5) and sacks (2). “Mottram is just an insanely intelligent linebacker,” Cecchini said. “He picked up our system very quickly. He’s always in the right place. He’s a physical player who will excel at middle linebacker.” Captain Sam Chitty has made a seamless transition from “Sam” to “Star” linebacker. Last season, his first as a starter, he led the Bison in tackles for a loss (13.5), tied for second in sacks (3.5) and tied for third in tackles (74). A versatile player capable of taking snaps at both inside and outside linebacker, he’s poised to make his senior campaign his best in the Orange and Blue. “Chitty has done a great at ‘Star’ linebacker.” Cecchini said. “With the rise of spread offenses, that ‘Star’ linebacker has to be a bit of a hybrid player. While Chitty is more on the linebacker side of that scale, he makes plays, and we can also move him around on the field as needed.” Cecchini also praised Chitty for his leadership, noting that he is among the team’s hardest workers on the field, in the weight room and in the classroom. “He plays with passion,” Cecchini said. “He’s just so intense. He’s become an emotional leader not just for our defense but for our football team.” Senior Jon Fox will be solid backup at the true linebacker positions while junior Gerrit Van Itallie, a safety, could see time at the “Star” hybrid position.

SEASON PREVIEW

ALEX PECHIN that trial by fire, they’ll be grizzled veterans by the second half of the season.” Cecchini is equally excited about junior Eric Butler and sophomores Sterling Deary and Micah Dennis, noting that “they’re all 6 on roster: 1 senior, 1 junior, 2 sophomores, 2 freshmen tremendous athletes who have considerable upside.” As a freshman, Deary made the most of his limited time at cornerback, registering 25 tackles and two interceptions; he also excelled on special teams, most notably forcing and recovering a fumble during a punt return at Penn. “Deary really made an impression on the coaches,” Cecchini said. “He’s an outstanding athlete and a great cover corner. He’s still young and has a lot of upside. We think he’ll have a breakout season, and we’re excited about his future.” Cecchini believes that Butler, who only played on special teams the past two years, is ready to start at cornerback. “Butler also impressed the coaches,” Cecchini said. “He’s a great athlete. He can change directions on a dime. He’s really quick. He has good hand-eye coordination. There’s a lot about him that really stands out.” As at safety, the Bison lack depth at cornerback, having graduated two-time All-Patriot League pick Bryan Marine and his fellow 2018 starter Fisayo Oluleye. Senior Mike Caruso will be expected to step up as a backup while freshmen Eric Holsinger and Jonathan Searcy could earn immediate playing time. CORNERBACK Career Cl. Ht. Wt.

<<< <<< SPECIAL TEAMS >>> >>> Over the past two seasons, fifth year Alex Pechin cemented his status as one of the nation’s elite punters. After being granted an extra year of eligibility due to an injury he suffered as a sophomore, he’ll have the chance to add to his already storied legacy in 2019. The decorated Pechin has been named to seven All-America teams to date, most notably becoming the first Bucknell specialist to make an AFCA or AP squad following the 2018 campaign. A three-time All-Patriot League First Team honoree, he has completely rewritten the Bison record book; he enters his final season with the school record in career punting average (43.7) as well as Bucknell’s top-three single-season averages of 45.1 (2017), 44.5 (2018) and 42.1 (2015). He finished third in the FCS in punting average in 2017 and fourth in 2018; his 2018 average is made more impressive considering he led the FCS with 81 punts, 24 more than any other punter in the top five in average.

But what has impressed Cecchini the most about his returning All-American, only the 11th two-time captain in Bison history, is his leadership. “He’s such a great leader,” Cecchini said. “I’ve never been around a team where the punter has been this highly regarded. To be voted as captain by your peers twice is a compliment in itself; to be voted as captain as a punter is remarkable. It’s awesome to see his leadership. And beyond that, he’s just so talented. He can run, he can throw the football, he can do it all. He’s an athlete. His leg strength is NFL caliber, and he has the mental toughness to go with all his talent. And he’s excellent in the classroom. He’s everything you could hope and dream for as a coach. He truly has it all.” As they did a year ago, junior Ethan Torres will handle placekicking and kickoff duties while junior Mike Colantuono will snap. Cecchini said that both did a “solid job in the spring” and will continue to benefit from working with Pechin, who doubles as a holder and backup kicker. In 2018, Marine served as Bucknell’s primary return specialist; he excelled, finishing the year ranked in the FCS’s top 20 in punt return yards (t-3rd, 296), combined kick return yards (4th, 899) and kickoff return yards (17th, 603). With Marine lost to graduation, B. Sanders will take both kickoff and punt returns while Moore-Green will be utilized as a kickoff returner. Cecchini expects Sanders, who totaled 73 yards on five kickoff returns as a freshman, to make a big impact as a return specialist, noting that “he has all the tools he needs to make the most of the opportunity.” Cecchini said that Holmes may also get a look as a returner.

<<< <<< OUTLOOK >>> >>> With Cecchini at the helm, the future is bright for the Bucknell football program, though the 2019 team will be faced with an extremely challenging schedule. The Bison open their season against Temple, an FBS program that played in the 2018 Walk-On’s Independence Bowl, and will also take on four teams that appeared in the FCS’s top 10 over the course of the 2018 campaign. Cecchini believes that Bucknell will benefit from its grueling non-conference slate; facing five opponents who went a combined 37-20 (.650) a year ago will only make the Bison better. At the same time, it will allow him and his staff to identify players who can play the new brand of Bucknell football. “Overall, I think our non-conference schedule is as challenging as it can be,” Cecchini said. “And that’s a good thing. We want to challenge our players. Each of those games will be a great test. We’ll be able to see how we measure up to some of the best programs in the country, and that will help us continue to improve moving forward.” Cecchini expects great things from his defense, highlighting the experience at defensive line and linebacker and the talent in the secondary. “I’m very happy with where we’re at defensively,” Cecchini said. “We have a lot of experienced players. Where we don’t have quite as much experience, we have a lot of talent. As a group, they played with enthusiasm and tenacity during the spring. They showed they can be a force to be reckoned with.” While the Bison have some more growing to do on the offensive side of the ball, Cecchini said that his charges have the potential to find success in his complex new scheme. “The offense is a bit behind the defense,” Cecchini said. “We don’t have as many marquee players coming back on that side of the ball. Our biggest concerns right now are to identify a quarterback and gel as an offensive line. Those two positions will dictate how well we do offensively this season. We also need to get players who were hurt back and bring them up to speed on our systems. We think that there’s a possibility it will be a good offense. It’s just about the execution and the confidence. We have some weapons. We just have to, as a whole, gel together.”

HEAD COACH DAVE CECCHINI

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

DAVE CECCHINI Bob Odell Head Coach 1st Season at Bucknell Lehigh University ’95

Dave Cecchini, one of the all-time great wide receivers in Patriot League history who has since gone on to achieve tremendous success in the coaching ranks, was named the 27th Bob Odell Head Football Coach at Bucknell University on February 6, 2019. Most recently the head coach at Valparaiso University, Cecchini has a long track record of building explosive offenses at elite academic institutions. Previously the offensive coordinator at Lehigh University, The Citadel and Harvard University, his offenses have shattered school records at his every stop, propelling his teams to a combined seven conference championships. An All-American wide receiver at Lehigh during his playing days in the early 1990s, Cecchini spent 13 of his previous 24 seasons as a coach at his alma mater. In 2014, Cecchini took over a Valparaiso football program that had won just three games, all against the same opponent, in the four seasons before his arrival. The 2017 campaign saw Valparaiso reach new heights thanks to a potent offense that totaled 330 points and 4,398 yards, both good for second in school history. Picked to finish 10th of 11 teams in the Pioneer Football League, Valparaiso tied for third with a 5-3 record, its most league wins since 1961. Overall, Valparaiso finished above .500, at 6-5, for the first time since 2003. For guiding Valparaiso’s turnaround, Cecchini was a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association’s FCS National Coach of the Year and the STATS FCS Coach of the Year awards; he was also voted as the Pioneer Football League Coach of the Year and the AFCA FCS Region 4 Coach of the Year. Cecchini left Valparaiso as the program’s winningest coach through 50 games since 1986. Other highlights of his time at Valparaiso included defeating rival Butler in backto-back seasons for the first time since 2005, going 4-0 in conference games at Brown Field in 2017 and sending two student-athletes to the 2018 FCS National Bowl, which showcases the FCS’s top players. Before becoming the 17th head football coach in Valparaiso history, Cecchini spent four seasons as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Lehigh. During his second stint on the Mountain Hawk staff, Cecchini built one of the most proficient and explosive offenses in the nation. In 2011, Lehigh ranked in the FCS’s top five in total offense (469.6) and passing offense (340.6) while averaging a Patriot League-best 32.5 points per game. Ten offensive players captured All-Patriot League laurels that season, headlined by Offensive Player of the Year Chris Lum. Lum, who was also the runner-up for the Walter Payton Award, broke the Patriot League’s single-season record for passing yards (4,378) and touchdown passes (32). For his role in Lehigh’s success, Cecchini was a finalist for the FootballScoop FCS Coordinator of the Year award. With Cecchini guiding the offense, the Mountain Hawks went a combined 39-9 and won two Patriot League titles. Wide receiver Lee Kurfis led the nation in receiving yards per game (122.8) in 2013 while quarterback Mike Colvin finished fifth nationally in total offense (326.64) the year before. Under Cecchini’s watch, four Mountain Hawks garnered All-America honors. From 2007 to 2009, Cecchini served as The Citadel’s offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach. During his first season in Charleston, the Bulldogs finished with their best record in 15 years, bolstered by an offense that set 16 school records, including points per game (39.5) and total offense (437.6). Cecchini mentored wide receiver Andre Roberts, a First Team All-American who set Citadel records in single-season receptions (95), receiving yards (1,334) and touchdown catches (15). Roberts, who was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the third round of the 2010 National Football League Draft, is currently a member of the New York Jets organization. Beginning in 2003, Cecchini spent three seasons as the offensive coordinator/quar-

terbacks and wide receivers coach at Harvard. His fast-paced offense paid immediate dividends, as the Crimson averaged 461 yards per game during his first campaign, a figure good for fourth nationally. The next season, Harvard went 10-0 and won the Ivy League championship. After the Crimson led the Ivy League in aggregate offense, the AFCA selected Cecchini as its 2005 Mike Campbell Top Assistant Coach Award winner. Under Cecchini’s tutelage, 14 Harvard records fell, including points per game (33.9). Among his charges was quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, the 2004 Ivy League Player of the Year who was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the 2005 NFL Draft. Fitzpatrick, who is currently the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has also spent time in five other NFL organizations. Before his tenure in Cambridge, Cecchini spent nine seasons on his alma mater’s staff. In 2000, Cecchini’s first campaign as offensive coordinator, Lehigh went 11-0 during the regular season and reached the Division I-AA (now FCS) quarterfinals. Following that season, Cecchini was promoted to assistant head coach while retaining his responsibilities as offensive coordinator. In 2001, his up-tempo offense averaged 38.3 points per game, helping the Mountain Hawks secure their second-straight undefeated regular season and championship quarterfinal appearance. In Cecchini’s first three seasons directing the offense, Lehigh posted a combined 31-6 record and captured two Patriot League titles. During his playing days at Lehigh, Cecchini became a consensus First Team All-American after leading the nation in receptions and receiving yards per game in 1993. That season, he set Patriot League records in receptions (88), receiving yards (1,318) and touchdown receptions (15); his 15 touchdown catches remain the Patriot League standard to this day. Cecchini, who was later named to the Patriot League 15th Anniversary Team, graduated from Lehigh in 1995 with a bachelor of science degree in marketing. Cecchini first joined the Mountain Hawk football staff as a tight ends coach. He also served as a running backs coach, quarterbacks coach and wide receivers coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator. During Cecchini’s first stint in Bethlehem, Lehigh averaged more than 350 yards of offense and over 26 points per game. Cecchini and his wife, Tammy, have two sons: Evan and Will. TWITTER HANDLE: @DaveCecchini WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT DAVE CECCHINI Bucknell Director of Athletics and Recreation Jermaine Truax: “I am thrilled to introduce Dave Cecchini as Bucknell’s 27th head football coach. Dave has had tremendous success throughout his career as a student-athlete, a coordinator and a head coach. He has earned a reputation as one of the brightest offensive minds in the nation and has made substantial improvement to the Valparaiso football program as head coach. Having played and coached in the Patriot League for many years, Dave is a great fit for Bucknell and the student-athletes in our football program. He understands how to attract the best and brightest student-athletes who will excel in the classroom and on the field while being great representatives of Bucknell and our community.” Former Harvard and current Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick: “I really enjoyed Coach Cecchini not only as a coach but as a man. He helped me a lot in my college years. He helped me grow up, he taught me a lot about the game of football, and he really taught me a lot about being a great husband and father. He had a lot of characteristics that I really looked up to, and I think he’s going to make a great head coach.” Former Lehigh head football coach Andy Coen: “I am very happy for Dave and his family to have this opportunity. Dave is an outstanding coach but more importantly an outstanding person. I support him and wish him nothing but the best. I look forward to watching Dave build Bucknell into a winner.” Wake Forest assistant head football coach Kevin Higgins: “Bucknell made a great decision in hiring Dave Cecchini as its head coach. I have watched Dave grow from an All-America wide receiver to a very successful offensive coordinator, leading several programs to multiple championships. He is a man of character and integrity that will be a great role model for his players. There aren’t many brighter coaches in the country than Dave.” Buffalo Bills All-Pro wide receiver/return specialist Andre Roberts: “I’ll always be grateful for the way Dave Cecchini believed in me and pushed me to be the best player I could be. He’s an offensive mastermind and makes everyone around him better. I’m excited to see what he’s going to accomplish at Bucknell.”

THE BOB ODELL COACHING ENDOWMENT Bucknell trustee emeritus Norman E. Garrity, a member of the Class of 1962, and his wife Mary Lou Roppel Garrity, a member of the Class of 1964, have established the Bob Odell Head Football Coaching Endowment. The Garritys’ significant gift to the university permanently endows the head coach position for football, along with providing funds for the program. Garrity played under Coach Odell, who passed away in December 2012, and was a member of the 1960 team that won the Lambert Cup title as the best small college team in the East. He also served as an assistant football coach during the 1963 season. Garrity has been a member of Bucknell’s Board of Trustees since 1995. In 2004, he received the alumni Athlete Achievement Award, given to former Bucknell athletes who have achieved success in their chosen profession. Garrity served in a variety of manufacturing and engineering management positions with Corning Inc. In 2003, he received the Loyalty to Bucknell Award for extraordinary service to Bucknell as a Trustee, member of Reunion Gift committees and volunteer for the Career Development Center. Garrity was also awarded the Bud Ranck Award for his service and devotion to the football program. In addition to the Odell endowment, he funded the Garrity Family Scholarship and the state-of-the-art artificial surface for the football field. Prior to the 2005 season finale against Holy Cross, the Bucknell football program and Bison Athletics honored Odell’s service and friendship to Bucknell with a special monument, which was unveiled in the closed end of Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Odell is a member of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. As head football coach from 1958-64, Odell took over a struggling program and compiled a 37-26 record. He led the Bison to college football prominence, winning Lambert Cup titles in 1960 and 1964 while producing five-straight winning seasons and a 32-13 record from 1960-64. An All-American himself as a halfback at Penn, Odell won the Maxwell Trophy and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1943. He later served as head coach at Penn from 1965-70 and at Williams from 1971-86. His overall coaching record stood at 136-104-5. A second-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1944, Odell served as a communications officer in the U.S. Navy during World War II before starting his football coaching career.

JASON MIRAN

Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks 1st Season at Bucknell University of Pennsylvania ’09

Miran followed Bucknell head coach Dave Cecchini from Valparaiso University, where he served in the same position for Cecchini’s five seasons at the helm. Miran played a key role in Valparaiso’s turnaround, guiding the offense to historic numbers. In 2017, Valparaiso totaled 330 points and 4,398 yards, both good for second in school history, en route to its first winning season since 2003. The following campaign, Valparaiso scored 290 points, tied for the fifth-highest total in the program’s annals. Entering 2018, Valparaiso had not scored at least 290 points in back-to-back seasons since 1950 and 1951. Miran mentored two wide receivers that rewrote Valparaiso’s record book in Tanner Kuramata and Griffin Norberg. Kuramata, who Miran coached in 2014, graduated with 2,315 career receiving yards, good for fifth in Valparaiso’s history. His one season under Miran was his most productive, as he caught the fifth-most passes (67) in program history. Norberg, who spent his entire career under Miran’s tutelage, left Valparaiso with 1,725 receiving yards, good for seventh in school history. As a senior, Norberg caught nine touchdown passes, the most by a Valparaiso player since 2003 and the fifth most all time. Before his time at Valparaiso, Miran spent four seasons as the wide receivers coach at Lehigh. Over that stretch, Lehigh went a combined 39-9 and won two Patriot League titles. In 2011, Miran’s charges helped Cecchini’s explosive offense finish in the FCS’s top five in total offense (469.6) and passing offense (340.6) while averaging a Patriot League-best 32.5 points per game. During his time in Bethlehem, Miran coached Ryan Spadola, who went on to play in the National Football League. A First Team All-American and three-time All-Patriot League First Team selection, Spadola graduated ranked second among Mountain Hawks in career receptions and receiving yards. Another standout under Miran’s tutelage was Lee Kurfis, who led the nation in receiving yards per game (122.8) during the 2013 campaign. A native of Pottstown, Pa., Miran graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 with a degree in communications. He played on the Quaker football team, starting at fullback as a senior.

He also molded first-year starting linebacker Drew Snouffer into an All-Pioneer Football League performer; Snouffer racked up 102 tackles, an average of 9.3 per game that was good for fourth in the conference. Before his time at Valparaiso, Manalac spent five seasons on Dantonio’s staff at Michigan State, where he helped in all three phases of the game as well as in recruiting. During his time in East Lansing, Manalac helped the Spartans earn a berth in the College Football Playoff, win four bowl games, capture two Big Ten Conference titles and achieve four top-10 finishes in the national poll. In 2014, Michigan State finished with a No. 5 national ranking and an 11-2 record. In the A&T Cotton Bowl, the Spartan defense shut out high-scoring Baylor in the fourth quarter, contributing to a 21-0 run that sealed a 42-41 come-from-behind victory. That season, Michigan State boasted the nation’s best rushing defense, yielding a meager 88.5 yards per game. The Spartans also finished third in turnovers gained (34) and eighth in total defense (315.8). The Spartans wrapped up the 2012 campaign slotted fourth in the FBS in total defense (274.4) and eighth in rushing defense (98.6). The year before, they led the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5) and total defense (277.4) en route to capturing the Big Ten Legends Division crown.

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

GAME NOTES • In his first collegiate start, freshman RB Jared Cooper ran for 96 yards on 15 carries. He added a team-high 28 receiving yards on two catches to pace Bucknell with 124 all-purpose yards. • QB John Chiarolanzio finished with 100 yards on 17 for 35 passing, connecting with six different receivers. • Defensively, CB Bryan Marine led the Bison, matching his career high with 12 tackles (nine solo). LBs Matt Robinson and Sam Chitty each registered his first sack and set a new career high in tackles, at eight and nine respectively. • For Sacred Heart, QB Kevin Duke posted 138 passing yards and 104 yards on the ground while RB Jordan Meachum set a new career high with 178 rushing yards. Their efforts helped the Pioneers build a 399-178 edge in total offense. • Bucknell’s game against Sacred Heart was the 100th of Joe Susan’s head coaching career. • Throughout the game, Bucknell paid tribute to military veterans, active duty servicemen and women, Gold Star Families and first responders. These local heroes were involved in presenting a garrison flag during the national anthem and delivering the game ball to the referees; the Bison also recognized veterans who were wounded in combat at halftime through their partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project.

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. The Pioneers (2-0) powered past the Bison (0-2) behind strong showings by running back Jordan Meachum and quarterback Kevin Duke, who combined for 282 yards on the ground. 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-Green 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-Green 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.

GAME NOTES • QB Logan Bitikofer completed 19 of 29 passes for a career-high 193 yards while WR Brandon Sanders totaled a career-best 97 yards on six catches, one of which was a career-long 46 reception. • K Ethan Torres kicked the first two field goals of his career during the first half. • CB Bryan Marine registered 75 yards on five punt returns, bolstered by his clutch 67-yard run which set up Torres’s second field goal. • S Joe Lauro and LB Sam Chitty paced Bucknell’s defense with 11 tackles (seven solo) apiece, with Chitty matching his career high set a week earlier at No. 14/15 Villanova. • In total, the Bison registered 12 tackles for a combined loss of 50 yards, with DE Grayson Cherubino and LB Simeon Page leading the way with three apiece. • Preseason All-American P Alex Pechin had yet another strong game, averaging 48.5 yards on six punts with a long of 54. Two landed inside the 20. • Holy Cross led in total offense (385-280) and first downs (21-15) while Bucknell held a slim 30:30-29:30 edge in time of possession. • The Bison have now topped the Crusaders in three-straight games at Fitton Field dating back to 2014.

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 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.

GAME NOTES • QB Logan Bitikofer finished with 164 yards on 17 for 37 passing while WR Alan Butler paced the Bison with 70 receiving yards. RB Jared Cooper added 61 yards on the ground, bolstered by a 31-yard carry in the third quarter. • Defensively, CB Bryan Marine made a game-best 10 tackles, forced a fumble and broke up two passes. • S Brandon Benson, who was returning from a three-game absence, and LB Matt Robinson added nine tackles apiece. • DE Roger Mellado and DL Nnamdi Unachukwu each posted 1.5 sacks. Unachukwu’s two tackles for a loss doubled his career high. • P Alex Pechin averaged 49.0 yards on nine punts, with a career-high seven sailing for at least 50 yards. • Colgate, which was Bucknell’s second ranked opponent of the 2018 campaign, has now won 10-straight games dating back to 2017. The Raiders improved to 5-0 in 2018; as of Oct. 8, they were one of four unbeaten teams remaining in the FCS, joining Dartmouth (4-0), Princeton (4-0) and North Dakota State (5-0). • With its victory, Colgate stretched its winning streak over Bucknell to five games. In addition, the Raiders have now topped the Bison six-straight times at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

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.

GAME NOTES • CB Bryan Marine picked off former Calvert Hall teammate Kenji Bahar during the third quarter; that interception was the 10th of his career, moving him into a tie for eighth in Bucknell history. Only 12 Bison have reached the double digits in career interceptions. • QB Logan Bitikofer threw for 189 yards and one touchdown while RB Cooper posted team highs in rushing yards (87) and receiving yards (84). Cooper’s totals of all-purpose (171) and receiving yards represented new career highs.

Monmouth used three late touchdowns to down the Bucknell football team, 36-19, at Kessler Stadium. Strong defensive and special teams play kept the Bison (1-6, 1-1 Patriot League) even with the high-powered Hawks (4-2, 0-0 Big South) for much of the game. Monmouth, which entered the tilt averaging 32 points per contest, scored three touchdowns in the final six minutes of regulation to move to 8-0 all-time at new Kessler Stadium. Jared Cooper scored two touchdowns for Bucknell, which matched its season high with 19 points. The freshman opened the scoring at the second quarter’s 14:36 mark after taking a slant pass from Logan Bitikofer, finding a seam and racing 74 yards to the end zone. He later gave the Bison a 19-16 advantage at the fourth quarter’s 12:33 mark on a 13-yard rush; that five-play, 30yard scoring drive was set up by Bryan Marine’s dynamic 23-yard punt return. Gerrit Van Itallie was a force for Bucknell, posting a career-best eight tackles (seven solo), three tackles for a loss of 14 yards, one sack for a loss of nine yards, two blocked punts and one forced fumble. He blocked a punt in the end zone, and recovered the ball for a touchdown, to cut the Hawks’ edge to 16-13 with 7:22 left to play in the third quarter. It was Bucknell’s first punt return for a touchdown since the first game of the 2014 campaign. After Cooper’s go-ahead touchdown, the Bison forced Monmouth to go three and out on its next possession. While Bucknell took over at its own 41-yard line following a short punt, Evan Powell stepped in front of a Bitikofer pass at the Hawk 36 and returned it 27 yards to the Bison 37. That play was the turning point of the contest; Monmouth capitalized on the turnover, with Kenji Bahar orchestrating an eight-play scoring drive capped by a one-yard touchdown throw to Gene Scott with 5:40 on the clock. On the first play of the Hawks’ next possession, Juwon Farri broke free for a 79-yard touchdown rush to extend their edge to 29-19 (due to a failed extra point). They completed the scoring with 1:17 left to play on a 12-yard Devell Jones touchdown rush that capped a three-play, 55-yard drive highlighted by a 42-yard Farri carry. At halftime, Monmouth held a slim 9-6 lead. All of the first half’s scoring occurred in the first five minutes of the second quarter. After Cooper’s 74-yard scamper, Justin Terry blocked Bucknell’s point-after attempt and returned the ball 98 yards to the end zone to get two points on the board for his team. The Hawks carried the momentum from Terry’s clutch play into their next drive; on the first play, Bahar hit Reggie White Jr. in stride for a 35-yard gain to the Bucknell 35. Jones ultimately completed that six-play, 70-yard scoring drive with a one-yard touchdown rush at the 11:23 mark. Monmouth opened the second half with a seven-play, 70-yard scoring drive; at the third quarter’s 12:19 mark, Bahar found White Jr. for a 23-yard touchdown to make it a 16-6 game. Van Itallie and Cooper’s touchdowns then flipped the score to 19-16 in Bucknell’s favor. The Hawks held advantages in total offense (469-266), first downs (20-12) and time of possession (33:05-26:55).

SCORING SUMMARY

• Cooper’s 74-yard touchdown reception was Bucknell’s first passing play of at least 50 yards since QB John Chiarolanzio found WR Jack Horan for a 64-yard gain at Cornell on Oct. 14, 2017, nearly a year to the day of the Monmouth game.

Team BU MU MU MU BU BU MU MU MU

BUCKNELL

• S Brandon Benson, LB Matt Robinson and Monmouth’s Kyle Gregory tied for the game high with nine tackles apiece. Benson also forced a fumble in the end zone that kept the Hawks from extending their lead to 16-6 with 6:31 left to play in the first half. • With their loss to the Hawks, the Bison went winless in non-conference action, at 0-5, for the first time since the 2010 campaign (also 0-5).

GAME NOTES • QB Logan Bitikofer became the first Bison to throw three touchdown passes since QB R.J. Nitti tossed four in a 35-24 victory at Lafayette on Oct. 31, 2015. Before TE/FB Andrew Owers, the last Bison to catch two touchdown passes was WR Will Carter in a 23-17 triple overtime loss to VMI on Sept. 24, 2016. • WR Justin Bethea led all players with a career-best 111 receiving yards on four catches. He became the first Bison since 2016 to accumulate at least 100 receiving yards; the last Bison to do so was Carter, with 120, in a 20-13 loss at Lehigh on Nov. 5, 2016. • Bethea’s touchdown catch was the first of his career. • WR Brandon Sanders (66) and Owers (50) also recorded at least 50 receiving yards. • S Brandon Benson tied Lafayette LB Michael Root for the game high with nine tackles; the sophomore recorded the 100th tackle of his collegiate career during the contest. • LB Rick Mottram recorded career highs in tackles (8) and tackles for a loss (3) in his first career start while LB Sam Chitty posted Bucknell’s lone sack. • The Leopards held advantages in first downs (19-15), total offense (338-292) and time of possession (35:32-24:28). They snuffed out the Bison’s ground game, holding them to -2 yards. Lafayette was bolstered by six tackles for a combined loss of 47 yards, including the two game-ending sacks.

The Bucknell football team dropped a tight 29-27 decision to Lafayette at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The Leopards (2-5, 1-2 Patriot League) scored 22 of the second half’s 35 points to hand the Bison (1-7, 1-2 Patriot League) a heart-breaking loss on Homecoming. While Logan Bitikofer found Justin Bethea for a 40-yard touchdown with 4:25 remaining in regulation, his pass on the two-point conversion that would have tied the game fell incomplete, leading to the 29-27 final score. For Bucknell, Bitikofer threw for a season-best 267 yards and three touchdowns while Andrew Owers became the first Bison to catch multiple touchdown passes since September 2016. Sterling Deary accounted for Bucknell’s other touchdown, returning his first career interception 41 yards to the house with 5:55 left to play in the third quarter. Bitikofer found Owers for a pair of touchdowns in the first half, staking the Bison a 14-7 lead at the break. Owers’s first touchdown, a 14-yard grab at the 9:27 mark, came on Bucknell’s first drive. It was set up by a 34-yard catch by Brandon Sanders on 3rd and 5; Sanders’s reception took the Bison from their 22 to the Leopards’ 44. Two plays and a penalty later, Bitikofer hit Owers in stride on a slant route for the score. Lafayette answered on its next drive, bolstered by a 47-yard kickoff return by J.J. Younger to the Bucknell 36. The Bison appeared poised to keep the Leopards out of the end zone, with Bryan Marine stuffing C.J. Amill at the goal line on 3rd and goal. But Lafayette went for it on 4th and inches, and Selwyn Simpson broke the plane, making it a 7-7 game with 4:23 on the clock. The Leopards had an opportunity to take the lead early in the second half, with O’Malley orchestrating a 12-play, 56-yard drive to the Bison 24. But, after O’Malley’s pass to Chris Granjean fell incomplete on 3rd and 9, Lafayette called out the field goal unit; Jeffrey Kordenbrock’s 41-yard bid ultimately sailed left of the goalposts. Bucknell regained the lead on its next possession, with Bitikofer orchestrating a six-play, 76-yard scoring drive to make it 14-7. Bitikofer found Alex Twiford for a 14-yard gain on the first play; then, on 3rd and 6 at the Bison 42, he found Butler along the sideline for a 26-yard gain. Butler jumped to catch the ball and then held onto it despite being hammered out of bounds by Trent Crossan. Two plays later, Bitikofer found Owers alone in the secondary for a 28-yard touchdown. Bucknell got the ball right back following Owers’s touchdown, with Fisayo Oluleye tipping O’Malley’s first pass to Gerrit Van Itallie. Van Itallie’s first career interception, which came a game after he was crowned the Patriot League Special Teams Player of the Week, set Bucknell up at the Lafayette 23. But Andrew Chuma sacked Bitikofer for a loss of 13 yards on the first play of that possession, and the Leopards forced the Bison to turn the ball over on downs three plays later. During the first half, Bitikofer completed 11 of 13 passes for 169 yards, just 24 shy of his career high set during Bucknell’s 19-16 victory at Holy Cross. His total was bolstered by three completions of at least 20 yards that came on third down. Owers (50) and Sanders (45) both eclipsed 40 receiving yards at the break, helping the Bison build a 172-156 lead in total offense despite being held to just three rushing yards. The Leopards evened the score at 14-14 with 9:08 on the clock in the third quarter. Mike Dunn accounted for 48 of Lafayette’s 61 yards during its scoring drive, including a 16-yard gain to the Bison 13 and a 13-yard touchdown run on back-to-back plays. Deary’s 41-yard pick 6 gave Bucknell a 21-14 advantage less than four minutes later, but the Leopards quickly trimmed that edge to 21-20 thanks to a five-play, 66-yard scoring drive highlighted by Zadok Scott’s 45-yard reception. O’Malley capped that drive with a five-yard quarterback keeper score; a failed extra point kept the Bison on top. Lafayette quickly regained possession of the ball, with Crossan intercepting a Bitikofer pass at his team’s 40-yard line and returning it 28 yards to the Bucknell 32 in the final minutes of the second half. The Leopards capitalized on the turnover at the fourth quarter’s 13:40 mark on an acrobatic 10-yard touchdown catch by Quinn Revere; Rick Mottram picked off O’Malley’s pass to thwart Lafayette’s bid for a two-point conversion, keeping the score at 26-21. After forcing the Bison to go three and out, a penalty during the punt gave the Leopards the ball on the 50-yard line. Lafayette took advantage of its favorable field position, with Kordenbrock booting a 33-yard field goal with 7:11 remaining in regulation. That field goal proved to be the difference in the game following Bitikofer’s touchdown pass to Bethea and subsequent failed two-point conversion. Bucknell took possession with 3:26 remaining in regulation. With Tarrin Earle in at quarterback for Bitikofer, who was injured during the two-point conversion, the Bison marched from their 24 to Lafayette’s 49. During that sequence, Earle found Jared Cooper for a nine-yard gain and Bethea for a 15-yard gain. But the Leopards sacked Earle on back-to-back plays for a combined loss of 26 yards to force the Bison to turn the ball over on downs at their 25, ending the game.

GAME NOTES • CB Bryan Marine cracked Bucknell’s single-season top 10 in both punt return yards and kickoff returns. With his 49 punt return yards, he improved his season total to 254, good for eighth in school history. His career-best 118 kickoff return yards moved his season total to 540, the ninth-best mark in the Bison annals. • Marine’s 44-yard kickoff return was 10 yards longer than his previous career-long return, set in the 2016 finale against Fordham. • WR Brandon Sanders was QB Tarrin Earle’s favorite target, amassing 80 yards on six catches. • Earle became the third different quarterback to start for Bucknell in 2018. He was also the 40th different player to earn a start this season, a figure that represents over 48 percent of the team’s 83-man roster. • RB Jared Cooper ran for a team-best 44 yards and added 21 receiving yards. • S Joe Lauro led all players with 11 tackles while S Gerrit Van Itallie was second among Bison, matching his career high set at Monmouth with eight. • CB Sterling Deary picked off a pass in a second-straight game while LB Sam Chitty recovered a fumble forced by Marine. • The Mountain Hawks stretched their winning streak over the Bison to four games.

The Bucknell football team fell to Lehigh, 45-17, at Goodman Stadium. The Mountain Hawks (2-7, 1-3 Patriot League) raced past the Bison (1-8, 1-3 Patriot League) behind multiple lengthy scoring plays, including two touchdown throws by Brad Mayes to Jorge Portorreal that covered at least 55 yards. Mayes finished the game with 335 yards on 17 for 28 passing, connecting with Portorreal nine times for 216 of them. Lehigh, which led by a touchdown at halftime, broke open the game in the second half. After the teams traded field goals in the early minutes of the third quarter, the Mountain Hawks scored three unanswered touchdowns, beginning with a 72-yard bomb by Mayes to Portorreal at the third quarter’s 4:07 mark; that touchdown came just 16 seconds after Ethan Torres booted a career-long 35-yard field goal to trim Bucknell’s deficit to 24-17. For the Bison, freshman Tarrin Earle looked strong in his first career start at quarterback, completing 17 of 40 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Earle, who became the 40th different Bucknell player to earn a start this season, also ran for 35 yards on the ground. Lehigh’s defense was impressive in the second half, holding the Bison to 68 yards, five first downs and a single field goal. Defensive back Marquis Wilson capped the game’s scoring with 6:03 remaining in regulation, picking off a pass and returning it 65 yards for a touchdown. The Mountain Hawks took a 7-0 lead at the first quarter’s 8:59 mark on a 27-yard touchdown rush by Dom Bragalone, the school-record 43rd of his career. Bragalone’s score capped a four-play, 65-yard drive that began when Jon Seighman recovered a fumble during a Bison punt return at his team’s 35. Then, Mayes found Devon Bibbens for 35- and eight-yard gains on back-to-back plays to set up Bragalone’s score. Bucknell drove from its 40 to Lehigh’s 15 on its next possession but came away with nothing. After Earle connected with Brandon Sanders for a 21-yard gain to the Mountain Hawk 23, the Lehigh defense held fast; after 4th and 2 was brought up, the Bison went for a 31-yard field goal, which sailed wide right. Bucknell got on the board at the second quarter’s 7:06 mark when Earle connected with Jared Cooper for a nine-yard touchdown. The Bison covered 34 yards in four plays, taking advantage of a short Mountain Hawk punt and a holding penalty; the extra point was blocked, making it a 7-6 game in Lehigh’s favor. Mayes then orchestrated a 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive to put the Mountain Hawks up by a 14-6 margin. Mayes threw four passes of at least 10 yards during that drive, which he capped with a one-yard quarterback keeper at the 3:45 mark. After a Bucknell drive stalled at the Lehigh 45, the Mountain Hawks took over at their 19 following a punt. Two plays later, they were in the end zone. First, Bragalone broke free for a 25-yard gain; then, Mayes found Portorreal behind the defense for a 56-yard touchdown to extend Lehigh’s advantage to 21-6 with 49 seconds left in the half. But the Bison responded, cutting the Mountain Hawks’ lead back down to a touchdown. After Bryan Marine returned the resulting kickoff 44 yards to the Lehigh 34, Alan Butler made a diving play to catch a pass on Lehigh’s one-yard line. Multiple timeouts later, Earle found Butler for a two-yard touchdown on 3rd and goal with 14 seconds on the clock. Bucknell went for the two-point conversion, and Cooper scampered past three Mountain Hawks to bring the score to 21-14. It was the first time the Bison rushed for a two-point conversion since October 2015. At halftime, Earle owned 148 yards and two touchdowns on 13 of 20 passing as well as 23 yards on the ground. Sanders was his favorite target, totaling 50 yards on three receptions. Lehigh held slimmer leads in total offense (276-187) and first downs (11-10) at halftime, with Bragalone totaling 83 of his 177 rushing yards in that frame. Overall, the Mountain Hawks led in first downs (20-15) and total offense (550-255). The Bison held a 31:32 to 28:28 advantage in time of possession.

On the ground, RB Jared Cooper rushed for 34 yards on 20 carries. • Defensively, CB Bryan Marine (9), S Brandon Benson (8) and LB Rick Mottram (7) paced the Bison in tackles. Mottram also tied LB Sam Chitty for the team lead with two tackles for a loss. • Marine posted 37 punt return yards, bringing his season total to 291; he moved to third from eighth in school history. He also recorded 49 kickoff return yards, giving him 589 on the year; he improved to seventh from ninth all-time among Bison. • For the Hoyas, RB Herman Moultrie III rushed for 135 yards on 22 carries and added 22 receiving yards on his first career touchdown catch. His efforts helped Georgetown finish with advantages in total offense (292-153) and first downs (16-12). • DL Khristian Tate registered game-best totals in tackles for a loss (4) and sacks (2) while LB Wesley Bowers led all players with 11 tackles (six solo). • In total, the Georgetown defense posted seven sacks for a combined loss of 42 yards and 11 tackles for a combined loss of 49 yards

The Bucknell football team fell to second-place Georgetown, 14-3, in its final road game of the 2018 campaign at Cooper Field. The Hoyas (5-5, 4-1 Patriot League) set a school record with their fourth Patriot League victory of the season by downing the Bison (1-9, 1-4 Patriot League). Freshman running back Herman Moultrie III provided all of the offense Georgetown needed, scoring one touchdown and recording 157 yards of total offense. The Hoyas’ stifling defense was the story of the game. They limited Bucknell to 153 yards of total offense, bolstered by seven sacks for a loss of 42 yards, and stalled three promising second-half drives to defend their 14-3 edge. With 5:01 remaining in regulation, Rick Mottram forced and recovered a fumble that gave the Bison the ball at midfield. After a roughing the passer penalty pushed Bucknell up to the Hoya 33, Tarrin Earle hit Andrew Owers for a 26-yard gain to the seven-yard line. But Georgetown held fast, pressuring Earle into throwing three incomplete passes, including on fourth down. After Bucknell forced the Hoyas to go three and out their resulting possession, Bryan Marine returned a short punt 26 yards to the Georgetown 22. But, with the Bison facing 4th and 8 at the 20, Xavier Reddick sacked Earle for a loss of 14 yards to end the game. Earlier in that quarter, with 14:47 on the clock, Reddick intercepted an Earle pass at his team’s 28-yard line. Ethan Torres booted a 37-yard field goal with 5:12 on the clock in the third quarter to get the Bison on the board. Torres’s career-long field goal capped a 12-play, 38-yard drive that saw Earle convert on a 4th and 1 at the Hoya 23 with a two-yard quarterback sneak. Earle also connected with Jared Cooper for an 11-yard gain to the Georgetown 32 on 2nd and 6. The Hoyas immediately responded, extending their lead to 14-3 less than two minutes later. Moultrie III accounted for all of his team’s yards during its four-play scoring drive. First, he rattled off 14- and 30-yard runs on back-to-back plays to bring Georgetown to the Bucknell 21. Then, he capped the drive by hauling in a 22-yard touchdown pass from Gunther Johnson. After a scoreless first quarter, in which the teams combined for only 128 yards of total offense, the Hoyas took a 7-0 lead at the second quarter’s 5:29 mark. Johnson orchestrated a nineplay, 78-yard scoring drive, highlighted by an explosive 36-yard rush by Moultrie III that brought Georgetown to the Bucknell 11. On 3rd and goal, Johnson scored a four-yard quarterback keeper to put his team ahead for good. The Bison had an opportunity to get on the board after forcing a punt with 1:38 remaining in the half. Following a short punt, they took over at their 47 and advanced to the Hoya 43. But Georgetown held fast, pressuring Earle into throwing two-straight incomplete passes and then tying him up well short of a first down on a rush. While Bucknell lined up to go for it on 4th and 7 at the Hoya 40, the clock hit zero before the snap. The stingy Georgetown defense, which entered the game ranked in the FCS’s top 25 in total defense (16th, 315.4), scoring defense (t-21st, 21.9) and rushing defense (t-23rd, 124.0), limited the Bison to 60 yards and three first downs during the first half. Of those 60 yards, only seven came on the ground. With the victory, the Hoyas snapped a two-game losing streak to the Bison. It was their first victory over Bucknell at Cooper Field since 2012; entering the contest, they were 2-8 against the Bison in their past 10 meetings.

GAME NOTES • Bucknell outgained Fordham, 300-163. It was the first time the Bison posted more total offense than their opponent in 2018. • In total, the Bucknell defense registered seven tackles for a loss of 37 yards and five sacks for a loss of 34 yards. • For Fordham, QB Tim DeMorat completed 13 of 26 passes for 113 yards. WR Corey Caddle registered 44 receiving yards while RB Tyriek Hopkins added 34 yards on the ground. Three Rams reached the double figures in tackles. • P Alex Pechin had an impressive game, averaging 50.8 yards on five punts. His punting average was 0.2 shy of his career high, set at Villanova, and was bolstered by a 70-yard bomb in the second quarter. • CB Bryan Marine finished the year with 296 punt return yards, good for third in school history. His total of 603 kickoff return yards slotted him seventh; he is one of just seven Bison to record at least 600 in a single campaign. • With Saturday’s starts by RB Joe Fex and OL Michael Killiri, a total of 42 different Bison started a game in 2018. That figure represents over 50 percent of the team’s 83-man roster; a total of 21 Bison earned their first career start this season, including six freshmen.

Fordham outlasted the Bucknell football team, 17-14, in the 2018 finale for both teams on Saturday at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. On a day the Bison honored their 17-man senior class in a stadium framed on all sides by snow from a Thursday storm that pushed back the game’s start time from noon to 1:30 p.m., the Rams used a trio of big plays to emerge victorious. At halftime, the Rams held a 14-7 lead even though they trailed the Bison, 151-84, in total offense. Fordham was bolstered by two clutch plays by Antonio Jackson, including a 70-yard pick 6 that came with just 12 seconds left before the break. The Rams jumped out to a 7-0 lead at the first quarter’s 9:40 mark after Jackson blocked a 40-yard field goal attempt and returned the ball 48 yards to the Bucknell 12. Two plays later, Tyriek Hopkins capped the abbreviated drive with a one-yard touchdown rush. The Bison evened the score with 7:59 on the clock in the second quarter. John Chiarolanzio, who took over at quarterback for Tarrin Earle, orchestrated a nine-play, 53-yard scoring drive, highlighted by Brandon Sanders’s 18-yard reception that brought Bucknell to Fordham’s eightyard line. Sanders broke a tackle to pick up that gain, which set up Andrew Owers’s career-best fourth touchdown catch of the season. Earle, who came back in at quarterback with the Bison at the Rams’ six-yard line, found Owers with a jump pass reminiscent of Tim Tebow. The Bison got the ball back with 1:40 remaining in the second half and marched from their 15 to Fordham’s 43 in nine plays. Seven plays in, Joe Fex kept the drive alive by scampering for a career-long 19-yard gain to the Bucknell 46 on a 3rd and 16. But Jackson ultimately picked off a Chiarolanzio pass at the Fordham 30 and raced all the way to the end zone. Less than two minutes into the third quarter, the Rams extended their lead to 17-7, taking advantage of a Jesse Bramble interception at the Bison 21. The Bucknell defense held fast, with Joe Lauro and Drew Newcomb both breaking up passes, to force Fordham to settle for a 28-yard field goal. The Bison trimmed the Rams’ advantage to a field goal at the third quarter’s 6:52 mark. Rick Mottram set up Fex’s first career touchdown, recovering his second fumble in Bucknell’s past two games at Fordham’s 17-yard line. On a 3rd and 4, Dominic Lyles appeared to catch a 12-yard touchdown pass from Chiarolanzio; he was ultimately ruled down at the two-yard line after a lengthy review, and Fex punched the ball into the end zone two plays later to make it a 17-14 game. Fordham had an opportunity to extend its lead after Noah Fitzgerald intercepted a pass at his team’s 49-yard line with two minutes left in the third frame. But the Bison defense forced the Rams to three and out; Jimmy Sheehan set the tone for that stand by sacking Tim DeMorat for a loss of 12 yards on the first play. Andrew Mevis’s third-quarter field goal proved to be the difference in the game, as Fordham held Bucknell scoreless in the fourth quarter. The Bison held advantages in total offense (300-163), first downs (20-13) and time of possession (31:02-28:58). Chiarolanzio completed 15 of 31 passes for 187 yards while Earle went 7 for 11 for 45 yards and one touchdown. Sanders caught seven passes for 90 yards, seven shy of the career high he set at Holy Cross. Stefone Moore-Green was next, recording a career-best 43 yards on five receptions. Fex, who started at running back in the place of an injured Jared Cooper, rushed for a career-high 56 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries. Mottram was a force for Bucknell defensively, posting 14 tackles (10 solo), 3.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks and his fumble recovery. His 14 tackles were the most posted by a Bison in 2018, and his number of tackles for a loss and sacks both matched Bucknell’s season-high total.

ABOUT THE PATRIOT LEAGUE >> 2018 AWARDS Who We Are

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

The Patriot League is a unique collection of highly selective colleges and universities linked by a number of common values. Our institutions are focused on providing the highest quality education to our undergraduate students. We believe athletics can play an important role in the overall educational experience, and we are committed to athletics at the highest level of competition, NCAA Division I. We are determined to admit and graduate scholar-athletes who succeed in the classroom as well as on the field. The Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. Patriot League teams compete at the highest levels of NCAA competition and numerous Patriot League scholar-athletes are recognized annually as All-Americans and Academic All-Americans. The Patriot League, which celebrated its 25th anniversary as an all-sport conference in 2015-16, began as a Division I-FCS football conference in 1986 and became an all-sport conference in 1990. The member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League colleges and universities make meaningful contributions to their communities and society in general and have played a leadership role in shaping our country.

What We Believe

Patriot League institutions value athletic competition because we know it builds leadership, teamwork, decision-making skills and sportsmanship. These characteristics are critical to another of our shared goals: producing graduates who will make strong contributions to the moral and civic fabric of their communities and their nation. Our primary focus is on the personal development and academic success of individual scholar-athletes. Athletic competition can enhance the physical, intellectual, ethical and social development of the entire higher education community—participants and spectators alike. In addition, Patriot League institutions recognize that highly competitive athletics help sustain strong bonds with alumni by engaging them with their alma mater for years after they graduate. We believe strong academic standards and strong athletic values are entirely compatible. One of our founding principles is to recruit student-athletes who are academically representative of their institution’s student body as determined by a standardized academic index. At a time when the direction of collegiate athletics is under increasing critical scrutiny, Patriot League institutions believe as strongly as ever that academic and athletic values can be – and indeed must be – compatible. For us, there is no contradiction between the concepts of high achievement in the classroom and in athletics. We acknowledge that reaching this ideal is a constant challenge, even a struggle, between conflicting forces and needs. But that does not lessen its importance. We believe that athletic programs should be integrated into an institution’s campus life and governance structure, and operate with integrity and under presidential control. The Patriot League model includes oversight of our policies at both the League and campus level while remaining focused on the individual development of all of our students. Patriot League members believe that colleges and

universities need to be faithful to their values and need to keep their promises to students. For our members, that means that college athletics derive legitimacy and special meaning only within the context of sound academic values and with the goal of graduating well-rounded students. The League’s Council of Presidents has formally encouraged member institutions to support opportunities for student-athletes to participate in study-abroad programs as a valuable part of a student-athlete’s undergraduate educational experience and personal development.

What We Do

• Patriot League institutions only admit athletes who we believe will succeed academically and graduate from our institutions. The Academic Index is used as a metric to ensure that all student-athlete academic credentials are reflective of their institution’s general student body. • All admissions decisions in the Patriot League are made by admissions professionals, not by athletic department personnel. • Patriot League institutions strive to maintain the same academic standards and values for all students, including athletes, and for all programs, including athletics. • Academics play a primary role in the lives of Patriot League athletes, who receive no special academic privileges or consideration. • A primary focus of Patriot League athletic programs is on the personal development and academic success of individual scholar-athletes. Athletes graduate from their institution well-equipped to become leaders in their personal and professional endeavors. The League’s Leadership Academy, along with associated programs on each campus, is designed to help scholar-athletes become world-class leaders. • In the Patriot League governance structure, each member institution is accountable to the others for admission decisions and academic policies involving athletes, and participates in annual reviews. • Starting with the class entering in the fall of 2013, all Patriot League members were permitted to offer athletic scholarships in each of the 24 League sports. • There is an expectation that Patriot League athletes will proceed to an academic degree in four years. Athletic “redshirting” (i.e., holding a student out of competition for the purpose of saving a year of NCAA eligibility for a fifth year of enrollment) is specifically forbidden. • Annually rank among the top Division I conferences in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. • Nearly every Patriot league institution exceeds 90 percent in graduation success rates on a yearly basis, including several among the nation’s top 10. • Won NCAA Tournament games in the sports of baseball, men’s basketball, football, men and women’s lacrosse, softball, women’s volleyball, men’s soccer and field hockey during the past decade.

THE PRESIDENTS’ CUP The Presidents’ Cup signifies overall excellence in the 24 sports sponsored by the Patriot League, and Bucknell has won the Cup 18 times in its 29-year existence, including 14 of 16 between 1998 and 2013. The Presidents’ Cup is awarded annually to the institution that accumulates the highest point total over the entire academic year, with points awarded on the basis of the school’s finish in each of the 24 Patriot League sports. If there is a league tournament in a sport, the points are awarded based on the average of the regular season and tournament finish, and if there is no post-season tournament, points are awarded based on regular-season standings.

HISTORY

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

BUCKNELL FOOTBALL: MORE THAN A CENTURY OF TRADITION The game bore little resemblance to what we now know as football, and one of the schools has since changed its name. In November of 1883, a group of students from Lafayette College journeyed west to play a group from the University at Lewisburg in the relatively new sport of football. The sport was so new, in fact, that the majority of the dozen or so students from Lewisburg, who did not have a coach and had practiced only briefly, had never seen a game of football before playing in one. The players from Lewisburg, whose school would be renamed Bucknell University in 1886, lost that first game, 59-0. Perhaps because of that experience, their school did not play another official game until 1887. Still, the seeds had been planted for a program that would grow into one of the most respected programs in the East by the 1950s, and will celebrate its 134th season in 2019. Scores of marvelous players have donned the Orange and Blue over the course of the 133 seasons of Bucknell football, and each season gives rise to new names, new heroes, new legends. Here is a quick trip through the colorful tradition that is Bucknell football:

1891

Still playing without a full-time coach, Bucknell gains its first victory ever with a 16-10 triumph over Lafayette. The Bison also defeat Cornell (4-0) and Penn State (12-10) on their way to a 6-2-1 record. The team includes Andrew Wyant, who later goes on to play for the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg at the University of Chicago and is a member of both the Bucknell Hall of Fame and the National Football Hall of Fame.

season ushers in a quarter-century of prosperity, as Bucknell enjoys 24 winning seasons in the next 26 years.

1924

The team sets a then-school record for victories with an 8-2 mark and meets Lafayette on October 18 in the first football game ever played in Memorial Stadium. Wally Foster, the captain of that Bucknell team, scores the first points in stadium history.

1931

Led by future NFL Hall of Famer Clarke Hinkle, Bucknell rolls to an unbeaten 6-0-3 record. The Bison’s undefeated mark is tested in the final game of the season, against also-unbeaten Fordham, but the Bison prevail, 14-13, in a classic at the Polo Grounds.

1934

Edward “Hook” Mylin leads the Bison to a 6-2-2 regular-season record and a berth in the first Orange Bowl game, on January 1, 1935. After a two-day train trip to Miami for the game, Bucknell hammers the University of Miami, 26-0.

1951

In the midst of a four-year stretch in which Bucknell goes 27-8, head coach Harry Lawrence and his team finish perfect at 9-0, perhaps the finest season in school history. The defense includes Little All-America defensive tackle George Young (long-time general manager of the New York Giants), while the relentless offense averages 463.3 yards per game. That breaks the Eastern record set in 1945 by a Davis- and Blanchard-led Army team.

1960

After opening the season at 2-2, Bucknell rolls past Lafayette, Lehigh, Colgate, Temple and Delaware — by a combined score of 107-14 — to finish 7-2 and win its first-ever Lambert Cup. Quarterback Paul Terhes earns Little All-America honors.

1964

Bucknell’s 1899 football team. Bucknell Athletics and Baseball Hall of Fame member Christy Mathewson is in the back row, third from the right.

1900

Christy Mathewson concludes his marvelous Bucknell football career and begins a professional baseball career that ranks among the best of all time. A hard-running fullback and tackler, “Matty” also excels as a kicker and gains national attention with two field goals against Army.

1918

Bucknell records the first of its three undefeated seasons. En route to a 6-0 record, the Bison are nothing short of dominant, outscoring opponents 236-7. The

Just four years after leading Bucknell to its first Lambert Cup title, head coach Bob Odell repeats that feat, as the Bison finish 7-2. After opening the season with a loss, Bucknell wins seven of the next eight games, including a 21-14 season-ending win at Delaware. The Bison squad features Little All-America end Tom Mitchell, who would later enjoy a fine pro career with Baltimore and San Francisco.

1968

Sam Havrilak (left) sets a single-game total offense record with 397 yards against Colgate, a mark that still stands. Havrilak, who would graduate with every Bucknell total offense record, later played with Tom Mitchell for the Baltimore Colts.

1978

Ken Jenkins arrives at Bucknell, and over the next four years, develops into one of the finest players in Bucknell history. He would set a school record with 1,270 rushing yards in 1980, and he later played with three NFL teams.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Penn State dropped Bucknell from its football schedule for three years. It happened after the Bison beat the Nittany Lions three straight times between 1927-30. • The 1935 Orange Bowl game between Bucknell and Miami featured the first-ever college football photograph transmitted over the wire by the Associated Press.

Two years after formation of the league is announced, the Colonial League (later renamed the Patriot League) debuts with six members — Bucknell, Colgate, Lehigh, Lafayette, Holy Cross and Davidson. The Bison’s first-ever league game is one for the ages. Trailing Colgate in the fourth quarter, 39-25, Bucknell rallies to take a 40-39 lead with 52 seconds left, but the Red Raiders drive for a game-winning field goal attempt with four seconds left. After a bobbled snap from center, Colgate completes an impromptu pass play that nearly goes for a touchdown, but Bison defensive back Robert Hawkins drags down the receiver at the 9-yard line on the final play of the game.

1989

Bucknell’s newly-renovated stadium is rededicated in honor of Christy Mathewson. Much like the stadium’s namesake, Bucknell opens play in the “new” facility with a victory, handing Dartmouth a 36-20 setback on September 30.

1995

The Tom Gadd tenure begins at Bucknell, and the Bison finish 7-4. Rich Lemon becomes Bucknell’s all-time rushing leader on opening day.

1996

Fittingly, Rich Lemon concludes his remarkable career with a Patriot League title, as Bucknell outlasts Colgate, 28-27, in the heart-stopping season finale. The win gives Bucknell its first football title in over 30 years. Lemon graduated with 4,742 rushing yards, nearly 2,100 more than the previous record-holder.

1997

The Bison roll out to a 10-0 record before falling to Colgate in their season finale to finish 10-1. The 10 wins were the most in school history, and many came in thrilling fashion, as the Bison won seven times by seven points or less.

2003

After the legendary Tom Gadd loses a long battle with brain cancer, Bucknell turns to Tim Landis as its 25th head coach. Landis quickly restores the good fortunes of the Bison football program. After a 2-9/0-7 season in 2002, Bucknell finishes 6-6/4-3 in one of the nation’s best one-season turnarounds.

2004

Bucknell wins its final four games of the season for the first time since 1975 to claim its first winning season since 2001 with a 7-4 record.

2006

Bucknell finishes with a 6-5 record and posts a five-game improvement from 2005, equaling the largest jump in program history.

2011

In its second year under Joe Susan, Bucknell equals the school record with a five-win improvement from 2010. The Bison posted a 6-5 overall mark one year after going 1-10. Highlighting the campaign was an impressive ability to force turnovers. Bucknell finished first nationally in turnover margin (+2.45) and DB Bryce Robertson (right) led the country in interceptions with 13, breaking both the program and Patriot League standards.

2013

Joe Susan leads Bucknell to five wins in its final six games to register its second above-.500 finish in a three-year span. The Bison finished in a tie for second place in the Patriot League standings, their highest finish since 1997.

2014

Bucknell wins its most games since 1997 as it finished 8-3 overall and 4-2 in Patriot League play. The Bison have nine All-Patriot League selections and Joe Susan becomes Bucknell’s first Patriot League Coach of the Year since 1997.

2016

Julién Davenport (below) was selected by the Houston Texans in the 2017 NFL Draft’s fourth round, 130th overall, following a decorated 2016 season. He was the first Bison since Sam Havrilak (1969, eighth round, Baltimore Colts) to be drafted and the seventh overall. He is Bucknell’s second-highest selection behind George Kiick, who went to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the third round of the 1940 draft. Davenport was named a First Team All-American by the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp Foundation and STATS.

Bucknell’s 1997 football team celebrates its 45-38 victory at St. Mary’s (Calif.), which ran its record to 9-0 for only the second time in program history (1951, 9-0 under head coach Harry Lawrence).

2001

Bucknell celebrates its seventh straight winning season, a first in Bison annals.

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

BUCKNELL FOOTBALL’S TOP-10 GAMES Brad Tufts, who retired in the spring of 2000 after more than 30 years as a member of the Bucknell athletic department staff, takes a look back at the top-10 Bison football games ever played (and the one that wasn’t). Stephen Taylor wasn’t able to observe a football team practicing as he made his way to Harrisburg early in 1846 with the proposed charter for the fledgling University at Lewisburg, but even before the name of the school was changed in recognition of benefactor William Bucknell, the sport had been introduced on campus and gained some popularity. Today, the sport is a fixture on fall Saturdays, and its history is prominent in any accounting of Bucknell’s athletic heritage. The Bison gridiron story (did you know that the word “gridiron” derives from the manner in which the field was formerly marked?) includes many notable games, and we could probably argue for the next 150 years as to which were the most significant. Before designating the 10 most significant games, please permit a look back at some of the more noteworthy games played by Bucknell football teams. In 1881, a group of students from Bucknell and State College (as Penn State was known in those days) played a game of football which, at one time, was recognized as the first contest in the sport by either school, though now both schools say that it was only an informal meeting. Bucknell’s first official football game came against Lafayette on Thanksgiving Day, 1883, but a lack of student interest following that initial venture curtailed play for four years. In 1887, the sport returned to stay as Bucknell played its first two official games with Penn State. Within another four years, Bucknell was playing regular schedules, and by 1895, the university had its first head coach. The 1900 team finished 4-4-1, but gained national attention in an 18-10 loss to West Point. All the scoring for Bucknell came on two field goals by a hard-running fullback named Christy Mathewson. The New York writers covering the game spread the word about this talented athlete, whose 48-yard field goal in that game was the longest in the country that year. Mathewson, who went on to become one of the nation’s most admired athletes as a pitcher for the New York Giants, liked football more than baseball, and if the National Football League had existed at the time, it is probable that baseball would have been deprived of one of its greatest and most famous players. Bucknell originally played football on Loomis Field, now home of the University’s Gateway residences. In 1924, the Bison moved into what is now Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, and christened the new field against Lafayette before a crowd of 15,000. Lafayette won the contest, 21-3, despite a 43-yard field goal by Bison captain Wally Foster to open the scoring. Late that year, Bucknell beat Navy, 6-0, and Rutgers, 12-7, to highlight the first of three seasons in which Bucknell was coached by “Uncle Charlie” Moran, who had led Centre College’s “Praying Colonels” to a memorable upset of Harvard. The Bison finished 8-2 in 1924, which represented the most victories ever by a Bucknell team. Moran’s 1925 team visited President Calvin Coolidge in the White House while in Washington to play Georgetown, and the Bison were rolling along at 6-21 when they played at the University of Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. The Bison won that game, 7-0, but the flamboyant coach also had scheduled a game at Dayton two days later. The travel and two games in three days were too much, and the weary Bison dropped a 19-0 decision. This was not the first time Bucknell encountered scheduling difficulties. The 1891 team, led by Hall of Famers Andrew Wyant and “Warhorse” Allen, opened the season with a 16-10 victory at Lafayette, but then had to play Lehigh the following day and suffered a 62-4 beating. Future College Football Hall of Famer Carl Snavely made his debut as Bucknell coach in 1927, and promptly posted a 13-7 win over Penn State, the Bison’s first win ever in State College. His teams went on to beat the Nittany Lions for

1895 TEAM the next three years, and then the future Big Ten power dropped Bucknell from its schedule for three years. Times do change. In 1929, Bucknell completed its second 8-2 season in history with a 78-0 win over Dickinson. In that game, future college and professional Hall of Famer Clarke Hinkle scored 50 points, still a Bucknell record. A 7-6 loss to Temple on Oct. 10, 1930 was noteworthy, for it was the first regularly-scheduled night football game ever. Bucknell went 6-0-3 in 1931 for its second of three undefeated seasons, and the record included season-ending wins over two of the powers of the day, Washington & Jefferson (10-6) and Fordham (14-13). The latter was played before a large crowd at the Polo Grounds, where Christy Mathewson had gained fame for the New York Giants. Edward “Hook” Mylin arrived on the scene in 1934 and led Bucknell to a 7-2-2 record that included a 13-7 win over Penn State and a 26-0 rout of Miami in the Orange Bowl. In 1938, the second season under Al Humphreys, the Bison won at Penn State, 14-0. It was the last time that Bucknell would defeat the Nittany Lions, who rose to national prominence following the end of World War II. In 1949, Bucknell finished 6-2, and both losses (to Temple and Gettysburg) were by one point. Gettysburg scored the winning TD in its 34-33 win in the final 40 seconds. Bucknell closed out the 1950 season with four straight wins, which set the stage for the 1951 campaign, in which the Bison rolled to a 9-0 mark. The perfect season concluded with a 21-20 win at Colgate and a 33-6 trouncing of Delaware in Memorial Stadium that led to a more than mild celebration on campus. The 1951 team boasted several All-East and Little All-America players, and the Associated Press poll released on Nov. 20 listed Bucknell at No. 20 in the nation. In 1954, BU beat Lehigh, 48-46, in a wild affair that produced the highest losing score ever by a Bison opponent. One of the great eras in Bucknell football began in 1958 with the arrival of Bob Odell, and after a 1-8 mark in that first season, Odell led Bucknell to a 15-8 Homecoming win over Rutgers in 1959. The following year, a shutout of Delaware capped a 7-2 season and earned the first of two Lambert Cups for Odell’s teams. The Bison reclaimed Eastern supremacy in 1964, winning the Lambert Cup with a 7-2 mark. Bucknell won the Middle Atlantic Conference title in 1965 with a 26-14 win over Delaware, and closed the season with a 22-14 win over Davidson. In that game, All-America Tom Mitchell was chasing the national record for career receiving, and coach Carroll Huntress and his staff devised a formation designed

The Bison followed that campaign by opening 2014 with four-straight wins and they were 7-1 in early November. Bucknell finished with an 8-3 mark, just the fifth time in program history it reached the eight-win plateau. The Bison are set to begin a new era in 2019, as Dave Cecchini was tabbed as the program’s 27th head coach. Most recently the head coach at Valparaiso University, Cecchini has a long track record of building explosive offenses at elite academic institutions. Previously the offensive coordinator at Lehigh University, The Citadel and Harvard University, his offenses have shattered school records at his every stop, propelling his teams to a combined seven conference championships. He will be tasked with returning Bucknell to the top of the Patriot League. On the following page are the 10 most significant Bucknell football games ever played, compiled in chronological order. There are certainly many more games that deserve consideration, but we had to make some tough choices. Let the friendly arguments begin.

On October 31, 1936, BILL LANE slashed his way through the Villanova defense to lead Bucknell to a 6-0 Homecoming victory. The win, which lifted the Bison to 4-2 on the season, effectively dashed Villanova’s Rose Bowl aspirations.

to hit Mitchell with short passes while he was in the backfield. On the second attempt, a bad snap from center led to a big loss, and attempts at the record were abandoned. Mitch Farbstein, a member of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, was captured in the pages of Life after he led Bucknell to a 14-13 win over Gettysburg in 1971. That same year, the bruising fullback scored five touchdowns in a 33-0 win over Lafayette. A 39-yard field goal by Al Yuknus with 20 seconds left gave Bucknell a 19-17 win at Dayton in the 1982 season opener, the Bison’s first visit to the southern Ohio city since “Uncle Charlie” tried to win two games in three days in 1925. The game was also one of the hottest in Bucknell annals, as game-time temperature on the artificial surface was 112 degrees. In 1987, back-to-back home games with Holy Cross (a 48-10 loss) and Columbia (a 62-20 win) brought the national news media to Lewisburg in droves. The media came first to chronicle the Frank Merriwell-like heroics of the Crusaders’ Gordie Lockbaum, and then returned the next week as Columbia attempted to escape its collegiate-record losing streak. The Lions attempted an onside kick on the opening kickoff, but that failed, and Bucknell led 28-0 by the end of the first quarter and the Lions went on to their 37th straight loss. Lou Maranzana’s first season as head coach in 1989 included a very special afternoon, as the Bison’s home stadium was rededicated to the memory of Christy Mathewson. Matty would have been proud, as the Bison that day beat Dartmouth, Maranzana’s alma mater, 36-20. The Tom Gadd era began in 1995, and the 7-4 record included a dramatic 21-14 win at Colgate in the first overtime game in Bucknell history. The drama of that contest, though, paled in comparison to the Bucknell-Colgate game in 1996, as the Bison and Red Raiders again played into overtime, this time with the Patriot League title on the line. In a game that will be long remembered by all in attendance, Bucknell battled to a 28-27 win when a Colgate two-point conversion pass in overtime was batted down by Brandon Little, who would later earn All-America honors. Bucknell built on its championship season by winning its first 10 games the following fall and compiling a 12-game winning streak, the second longest in school history. In the process of posting more wins than any other Bison team, Coach Gadd’s charges were nationally ranked and led the Patriot League in total defense for the third straight year. However, the memorable season and win streak came to an end with a 48-14 loss at Colgate in a game that again decided the Patriot League crown. The Bison continued their winning ways in 1999, turning in their fifth straight winning season with a 7-4 record behind an offense that scored 320 points — the third-highest single-season total in school history. Quarterback Don McDowell turned in one of his career-best performances to lead the Orange and Blue to a 21-16 victory at nationally ranked Colgate, while Jabu Powell stepped in at running back and led the Bison to their first win at Penn’s Franklin Field (23-16) in over 30 years. In 2001 the Bison made it seven straight winning seasons — a first in the history of the program — while playing on their new state-of-the-art FieldTurf. With their football fortunes reaching heights never before seen, the Bison were dealt a devastating blow when Gadd had to step aside in 2002 to battle brain cancer. He lost that battle in March 2003. Gadd tied the BU record for career coaching victories with 48, achieving that figure faster than any of his predecessors. Tim Landis succeeded Gadd in 2003, and quickly restored Bucknell’s recent tradition as a Patriot League contender. The Bison finished in third place with a 4-3 league record, just one year after finishing 0-7. In his second season the Bison improved to 7-4 and were 4-2 in the Patriot League to record their second consecutive third-place finish.

HISTORY

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

Lafayette 59, Bucknell 0 November 30, 1883) Certainly not a score for Bucknell followers to remember, but the game is historic because it was the first one. A brief excerpt from an account of the game indicates that the style of both play and writing have changed over the years: “...At this point the time for the first inning was up, and a breathing spell of fifteen minutes was given. At the beginning of the second inning, the University team came up somewhat discouraged, but nevertheless determined to make the other side work for whatever they might secure. “They now used several of Lafayette’s tricks with good result, and showed that it was but want of skill and practice that they had worked so disastrously in the first part of the game. For a full fifteen minutes, the ball was carried about the field without either side gaining a single point.” Bucknell 12, Rutgers 7 (November 22, 1924) The win gave tremendous recognition to the Bucknell football program. Playing at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, ‘Mose’ Wilbach scored both touchdowns for the Bison. Rutgers had gone into the contest undefeated. Bucknell 14, Fordham 13 (November 21, 1931) The game, played at the Polo Grounds, capped an undefeated (6-0-3) season and ended the brilliant Bucknell career of Clarke Hinkle, regarded by many as the finest Bucknell player ever. Fordham also entered the game undefeated, and the contest was covered extensively by the New York media, bringing national attention to Bucknell and its football team. The game, though, was marred by tragedy; Fordham’s Connie Murphy died from injuries sustained in the game. Bucknell 26, Miami 0 (January 1, 1935) The very first Orange Bowl Game, this contest is probably the most written-about game in Bucknell history. The Bison’s appearance in the game — which was no doubt aided by tireless efforts of publicity director Art Brandon — continues to bring widespread national publicity to Bucknell each January 1. The game showcased the coaching talents of “Hook” Mylin, and the first AP photo ever transmitted from a college football game came from this contest. As for the halftime show, which has become a staple of current Orange Bowl games, a newspaper account indicates that, “between the halves, the University of Miami band paraded around the field, followed by a truck carrying several University coeds in an orange-colored bowl. The young ladies threw oranges and tangerines, with more or less accuracy, among the spectators.” Bucknell 21, Colgate 20 (November 10, 1951) Every victory in 1951 was necessary for the undefeated season, but this win came in the next-to-last game, on the road, and was one of only two games all year decided by seven points or less. It was also Bucknell’s only win over Colgate in the 1950s; the Red Raiders ended BU’s record 17-game winning streak in 1952.

Bucknell 26, Delaware 0 (November 19, 1960) This was the fourth shutout in nine games for a terrific defensive team, and precipitated 24 hours of furious campaigning that led to Bucknell’s first-ever Lambert Cup. The win also came on the heels of eight straight losses to Delaware, and clinched first team Little All-America honors and other awards for quarterback Paul Terhes. Bucknell 24, Harvard 21 (October 3, 1964) The Bison ended 73 years of frustration against the Ivy League, and the large number of Boston media in attendance were in high praise of Bucknell. The win also provided the impetus for two other three-point wins and Bucknell’s second Lambert Cup in four years. The contest also started Tom Mitchell en route to the first of two straight Little All-America and Eastern small college Player of the Year campaigns. Bucknell 26, Delaware 14 (November 20, 1965) The victory clinched the Middle Atlantic Conference title, which was — until 1996 — the Bison’s only football conference championship ever. The game also closed the curtain on one of the finest careers in Memorial Stadium history, as Tom Mitchell played his final home game. Bucknell 28, Umass 15 (November 4, 1972) AND Bucknell 41, Colgate 7 (November 11, 1972) These games have been combined into one for this list, as they were the final two home games of coach Fred Prender’s first year, and resulted in two big upsets. UMass had entered the game undefeated (6-0), but Mitch Farbstein and Bob Langan each ran for two touchdowns as the Bison beat the Minutemen. The next week, Bucknell faced a Colgate team that stood 4-2-1, and had hammered Bucknell, 47-24, the year before. Farbstein was unstoppable, rushing for 192 yards and a touchdown as the Bison routed the rivals from the Chenango Valley. Student enthusiasm has been unsurpassed since that time, and the goal posts came down after both games. Bucknell 28, Colgate 27 (November 23, 1996)

Bucknell and Colgate met in Lewisburg with the Patriot League championship at stake, and the Bison won their first football league title in 31 years in dramatic fashion, as Brandon Little broke up a Colgate two-point conversion try in overtime. Bucknell had lost an early 14-0 lead, and trailed 21-14 before Jim Fox engineered a remarkable 99-yard scoring drive midway through the fourth quarter, tying the game at 21-21 and forcing overtime. Bucknell scored first in overtime, with Fox throwing his

fourth touchdown pass of the game. Colgate answered, and then opted for a two-point conversion rather than a kick that would have forced a second overtime. With the league title riding on a single play, Colgate quarterback Ryan Vena rolled right and threw into the end zone, but Little batted the pass down, and bedlam ensued. The game also was the final Bucknell contest for record-setting running back Rich Lemon. Honorable Mention: Bucknell ?, Delaware ? (November 23, 1963) The list above was restricted to games that were actually played. A game that was never played, however, also deserves mention. On Nov. 22, 1963, the nation was shocked and paralyzed by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Bucknell campus mourned with the rest of the world, and the football game scheduled at home the next day with the University of Delaware was postponed. Bucknell had won three of its first five games before stumbling in a 14-13 loss to Lafayette. However, victories over Temple, Colgate and Lehigh brought the Bison to 6-3 going into the Delaware game. A victory would give Bucknell a tie with Delaware for the Middle Atlantic Conference University Division championship. The Blue Hens were 8-0 overall and ranked first in the national small college polls conducted by both the Associated Press and United Press International. Interest in the game was at an all-time high on campus, in Lewisburg and the surrounding area, and the media almost certainly would have overflowed Memorial Stadium’s press facilities. A sellout was a distinct possibility. And then the shots rang out in Dealey Plaza. We watched a president take the oath of office on an airplane. We cried. We saw Jack Ruby make a shambles of any pretense of security. We cried again as a young boy saluted his father and the funeral procession moved slowly down Pennsylvania Avenue. We talked about what had happened and tried to get back to some semblance of “normal.” That included trying to reschedule the football game for the following weekend (Delaware said no), Thanksgiving Day (Delaware said no), or at a neutral site (Delaware said no). The game that might have brought Bucknell its first conference crown and one of the largest home crowds in history was never played. Delaware finished the season undefeated with its 8-0 record. UPI kept the Blue Hens at the top of their poll and awarded them a national championship plaque. AP, though, asked questions about why the game wasn’t played, and learning of the Blue Hens’ intransigence, dropped Delaware to second in its final ranking. The game would be the last Bison contest to be canceled until 2001, when the September 11 tragedy again brought a halt to the sports world, including the Bucknell-Cornell football game.

CHRISTY MATHEWSON-MEMORIAL STADIUM MONUMENTS

TOM GADD REMEMBERED On December 22, 1994 Tom Gadd was introduced as Bucknell’s new head football coach. Raised in California, Gadd was highly regarded in college football circles as a defensive guru, although he was hardly a household name among Bucknell followers in Lewisburg, Pa. It did not take him long to make his presence felt. Taking over a program that had enjoyed only one winning season in its previous 14, Gadd quickly instilled a winning spirit back into Bison football, and he re-connected with the alumni, involving them in every step of the program. An inspiring presence not only in the locker room but all across campus and in the surrounding communities, Gadd never had a losing season at Bucknell. The no-name from the other coast became one of the most beloved coaches in Bucknell annals, and he led the Bison to their most glorious seven-year stretch ever. On March 1, 2003, Gadd passed away after a two-year fight with brain cancer. While the disease robbed Bucknell of a legend and a friend, his legacy will long carry on.

THE TOM GADD ERA (1995-2001) In seven years under Tom Gadd, Bucknell ... • Enjoyed seven-straight winning seasons, the only time in the history of the program it has ever happened. • Won 48 games, lifting Gadd into a tie for first on Bucknell’s all-time list of winning coaches. He achieved that mark faster than any other coach. • Won 73.7 percent of its home games. The Bison went 28-10 at home under Gadd. • Placed a total of 97 players on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, more than any other team. • Captured only the second conference championship in program history, and the first since 1965. Bucknell won the Patriot League title in 1996. • Established school records for most wins in a season and in a seven-year period. The Bison enjoyed their first 10-win season in 1997.

THE GREAT CHRISTY MATHEWSON

The most famous Bison and one of the greatest baseball players of all time, Christy Mathewson was better known in his college days as a hard-hitting fullback and outstanding kicker. One of the five original members of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., “Matty” gained his initial athletic fame as a fullback, punter and dropkicker at Bucknell from 1898 to 1900. A truly outstanding player, the Factoryville, Pa. native kicked a point-after touchdown in the first varsity game of his freshman year, and in the next three years added 13 touchdowns and eight field goals. Mathewson gained national attention when he dropkicked two field goals against Pennsylvania in 1899 and added a 45-yard field goal against Army the following year. As a result, he was named the “12th man” on Walter Camp’s 1900 All-America team. Reports in Bucknell files indicate that Mathewson practiced his dropkicking hour after hour and also note that his punting was exceptional throughout his career, a three-year stretch during which he scored 106 points. He was also a punishing runner, and one game account makes note of a 65-yard touchdown run and a 70-yard kickoff return. Mathewson, who also played baseball and basketball at Bucknell, was known as a gentleman and true scholar-athlete. In addition to his athletic pursuits, he was an A student, the president of his class and a member of the glee club and literary societies. With the New York Giants (1900-16) and Cincinnati Reds (1916), Mathewson earned the adulation of millions of fans, serving as a role model in professional baseball and bringing respectability to the sport in an era when it was dominated by rough-and-tumble types. Most famously, he pitched three shutouts in three starts to lead the Giants to the 1905 World Series title. He wrapped up his career with a record of 373-188, bolstered by four seasons in which he won at least 30 games. Like many Bucknellians, Mathewson served in World War I, attaining the rank of captain in the Gas and Flame Division in France. During a mishap in training, he was exposed to poison gas that damaged his lungs and caused him to contract the tubercular pneumonia that killed him. Memorial Stadium was rededicated as Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium on Sept. 30, 1989 in his honor. In addition, the Christy Mathewson Award has been presented to the most outstanding male and female student-athletes of each graduating class since 1968. Mathewson is buried in the cemetery just behind the Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center.

HALL OF FAME

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

Seven standout alumni – including four from the track and field program, two from football and one from women’s basketball – have been elected to the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame and will be formally enshrined as part of the 41st induction class this fall. This year’s class includes Hope Foster ‘08, who was a dominant center on the Bison women’s basketball team, football defensive stalwarts Mike Augsberger ‘91 and Hunter Adams ‘98, and track and field record-setters Matt Deardorff ‘92, Norine Nadeau ‘96, David Pomfret ‘00 and Majorie Grap ‘07. The new Hall of Fame class will be inducted at a dinner ceremony on Friday, Oct. 4 as part of Homecoming Weekend festivities. The new Hall of Famers will also be recognized at halftime of the Bucknell-Holy Cross football game the following day. The Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1979 to honor the very best in the history of Bison athletics. This year’s induction brings to 270 the number of outstanding student-athletes, coaches, administrators and friends of Bucknell whose contributions are forever preserved in the Hall of Fame. MIKE AUGSBERGER ‘91 was a four-year starting defensive back for the Bison football team. He was recognized as an AFCA/Kodak First Team All-American following his senior year, when he made 75 tackles and intercepted three passes from his free safety position while helping Bucknell to a 7-4 record, its best mark in 26 years. A two-time All-Patriot League selection, Augsberger logged nine interceptions and 327 tackles in his career. The latter figure

NORINE NADEAU

MIKE AUGSBERGER still ranks sixth in team history. Augsberger earned the 1990 Clarke Hinkle Award as the team’s most outstanding defensive back or linebacker, and he was the co-recipient of the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in his senior class. MATT DEARDORFF ‘92 is the latest in a long line of terrific distance runners to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Deardorff was a member of both the Patriot League All-Decade Team and 25th Anniversary Team in cross country, where he was the league’s individual champion in 1991 and runner-up in 1990. As a senior he placed 60th at the NCAA Cross Country Championship and 20th at the IC4A Championship. On the track, Deardorff was a two-time Patriot League champion in the outdoor

HUNTER ADAMS

MATT DEARDORFF 5,000-meter run, and he also captured the 3,000 meters indoors in 1991. He collected a pair of bronze medals at the IC4A Championships, one in the 5,000 and one in the 10,000, and he also claimed a pair of conference titles in the distance medley relay in 1989 and 1990 when the Bison competed in the East Coast Conference. Deardorff still owns the ninth-fastest 10K time in school history (29:44.14) and the 10th-fastest indoor 5K (14:27.87). Also a standout in the classroom, Deardorff was a two-time First Team Academic All-American and a three-time Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year. NORINE NADEAU ‘96 was a versatile athlete during her days with the Bucknell track and field squad. She was named the Most Outstanding performer at the 1996 Patriot League Outdoor Championships after winning league titles in the high jump and long jump while scoring in six different events (also runner-up in the javelin, third in the 100-meter hurdles, fifth in the 200-meter dash and second in the 4x400-meter relay). All told, Nadeau won five career Patriot League outdoor gold medals and one more indoors. She was an All-East performer in the heptathlon and also placed fifth in the heptathlon at Penn Relays. Nadeau, who was a Christy Mathewson Award winner, graduated as the school-record holder in the outdoor high jump and now ranks fifth. Her personal best of 4,807 points in the heptathlon still ranks second all-time to fellow Hall-of-Famer Lonnie Fertik, and Nadeau still has the fifth-best mark in the pentathlon (3,400).


91

DAVE POMFRET HUNTER ADAMS ‘98 was a dominant defensive lineman on the gridiron, and he was one of the key players on Bison teams that captured a Patriot League championship in 1996 and finished 10-1 in 1997. Adams was a threetime All-Patriot League selection at defensive end, capturing First Team citations in 1996 and 1997. He was later named to the Patriot League All-Anniversary Team in 2000 and the 25th Anniversary Team in 2011. Adams graduated with 188 career tackles, 17 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks, and he was part of Tom Gadd’s vaunted defensive units that ranked No. 1 in the league in each of Adams’ final three seasons. A team co-captain as a senior, Adams was a two-time recipient of the George Rieu Award as Bucknell’s outstanding defensive lineman. After graduation, Adams signed a free-agent contract with the New York Giants and was later added to the team’s practice squad. DAVID POMFRET ‘00 pulled off the rare double of claiming conference championships in the pole vault and javelin throw. A seven-time All-Patriot League selection, Pomfret claimed indoor gold medals in the pole vault in 1998, 1999 and 2000, and then came back in the spring to pick up outdoor titles in the javelin in each of those years. Pomfret was the 2000 Patriot League Indoor Field Athlete of the Meet after crushing the school record in the pole vault by clearing 17 feet, 3 inches. That mark held up until this past season, when Matt Fay eclipsed Pomfret’s mark by 1.5 inches. Pomfret also graduated

MARJORIE GRAP with the outdoor pole vault record (16-3) and now ranks third, and his top javelin throw of 209-4 ranked third at graduation and now ranks eighth. A team co-captain as a senior, Pomfret was a co-recipient of the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in his class. MARJORIE GRAP ‘07 will go down as one of the top woman throwers in Bucknell track and field history. She was a big part of the stellar Class of 2007 that went 8-for-8 at the Patriot League Championships, winning all four indoor titles and all four outdoor crowns. Grap piled up points for the Bison by claiming nine career league titles. Indoors, she won gold in the 20-pound weight throw in each of her final three years and also claimed the shot put in 2005. Outdoors, Grap captured three league titles in the discus throw (2005, 2006, 2007) and one each in the shot put (2005) and hammer throw (2006). She was the 2005 Patriot League Outdoor Field Athlete of the Meet. Grap also won an ECAC title in the weight throw in 2007, and she was an NCAA Regionals qualifier in the hammer and discus in both 2006 and 2007. In the record books, Grap remains the Bucknell record-holder in the indoor weight throw (65-7.5) by more than six feet, and she broke Hall-of-Famer Maria Garcia’s school record by more than 11 feet. That mark is also the Patriot League record, and it ranked 15th nationally that year. In addition, Grap ranks No. 2 behind Garcia in the hammer throw and now ranks No. 7 in both the shot put and discus. Grap was the 2007 recipient of the Bison Club Award.

HOPE FOSTER ‘08 is the youngest member of the Hall of Fame Class of 2019. One of the top centers ever to play for the Bison women’s basketball team, Foster tallied 1,256 career points and was best-known for her rebounding and shot-blocking prowess. She broke the Bucknell career record for blocked shots as a sophomore, and her 344 career blocked shots are nearly triple the second-highest total of 132 by Marie Kocornik. Foster also broke the Patriot League career blocks record and now ranks second. She holds each of the top four best single-season marks in Bucknell annals, including a record 95 in 2005-06. Her 11 blocked shots against Michigan State in 2007-08 is the school single-game record. Foster’s 904 career rebounds was the school record until this past season, when Kaitlyn Slagus eclipsed her standard. Foster earned a spot on the Patriot League All-Rookie Team as a freshman, followed by three straight years on the All-Patriot League First Team. She was the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore and the overall Player of the Year as a junior. Foster served as a team co-captain in 2007-08, when the Bison captured the Patriot League Tournament title and went to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history. A member of the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team, Foster earned the Bryan-Humphreys Award for her versatility at both ends of the court.

• The most famous member of the Hall is probably Christy Mathewson, who is also a charter member of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. At Bucknell, Mathewson was an outstanding dropkicker and fullback on Bison football teams from 1898-1900. • Clarke Hinkle, a standout halfback who later starred for the Green Bay Packers, is a member of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. • Andrew Wyant, a Bison star from 1888-91 who later went on to play for the University of Chicago, is a member of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. • Carl Snavely and Edward “Hook” Mylin are members of the National Football Hall of Fame and the Helms Hall of Fame. Snavely went 42-16-8 at Bucknell from 1927-33 and also coached at Cornell, North Carolina and Washington (Mo.) University. Mylin, who succeeded Snavely, coached Bucknell’s Orange Bowl championship team. • Bob Odell, who coached Bucknell to Lambert Cup titles in 1960 and 1964, was inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame in 1992 in honor of his remarkable career at Penn.

ALEX PECHIN

Junior Simeon Page made a big impact as a freshman. Playing as a hybrid linebacker/defensive end, he recorded nine sacks, a Bucknell rookie record and tied for seventh in school history. In the 2017 finale, he terrorized Fordham quarterback Austin King, recording four sacks. That total matched the Bison single-game record, which was last achieved in 1998. For his efforts, Page was recognized by STATS as the National Freshman Player of the Week. He went on to earn a spot on the All-Patriot League Second Team.

CHAD FRESHNOCK

SIMEON PAGE

Against Lehigh on Homecoming in 2017, Chad Freshnock broke free for an 85-yard touchdown rush, the fifth-longest in school history. He became only the third Bison to run for at least an 80-yard score since 1980, joining Rich Lemon (83 yards against Cornell in 1994) and A.J. Kizekai (80 yards against Holy Cross in 2007). Freshnock enters his senior campaign with two 100-yard rushing games to his name: against VMI in 2016 (161) and against Lehigh (174).

Fifth-year Alex Pechin is among the nation’s elite punters. As a senior, he was recognized on six All-America Teams and made his third career All-Patriot League First Team. Pechin enters his final campaign in Lewisburg with the school record in career punting average (43.7) as well as the program’s top-three single-season punting averages of 45.1 (2017), 44.5 (2018) and 42.1 (2015). In addition, he is the school record holder in career (231) and single-season punts (81) and booted Bucknell’s third- (71) and fifth- (70) longest punts in 2018.

GEORGE YOUNG (1930-2001) George Young, noted National Football League executive and former Bison football star, passed away in December 2001 at the age of 71. Young earned Little All-America honors in 1951 after helping lead Bucknell to a 9-0 season, its most recent undefeated campaign. A 1952 Bucknell graduate, Young played in the Blue-Gray All-Star Game. Then, he played one season with the Dallas Texans before he broke into the front office ranks with the Baltimore Colts in 1968. He held several positions in that organization before he became the Miami Dolphins’ director of personnel and pro scouting in 1974. Young was named general manager of the New York Giants in 1979. In his 19 years with the organization, he helped the Giants win Super Bowl titles in 1986 and 1990. The winner of the NFL’s Executive of the Year Award an unprecedented five times, Young was named the NFL’s Senior Vice President of Football Operations in 1998. Young was inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1980.

CHRISTY MATHEWSON-MEMORIAL STADIUM

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

The Bucknell football team plays its home games in a picturesque, 95-year-old stadium that pays tribute to its university’s numerous war veterans and one of its most distinguished alumni. The stadium, dedicated in 1924 in honor of Bucknellians who served the United States during the Civil War, Spanish-American War and World War I, was renovated and renamed in 1989 to recognize perhaps Bucknell’s most honored alumnus and one of the true heroes of American sports. Christy Mathewson was one of the five original members of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. but gained his initial athletic fame as a fullback, punter and dropkicker at Bucknell from 1898 to 1900. One of the truly outstanding players of his era, Mathewson kicked a point-after touchdown in the first varsity game of his freshman year and in the next three years added 13 touchdowns and eight field goals. Mathewson gained national attention when he dropkicked two field goals against Pennsylvania in 1899 and added a 45-yard field goal against Army the following year. As a result, he was named the “12th man” on Walter Camp’s 1900 All-America team. The facility that bears Mathewson’s name has seen plenty of transformation over the last few decades. A new locker room and weight room were constructed in 1987. The locker room was later fully renovated in the summer of 2017. The Tom Gadd Weight Room was updated with brand new equipment in 1999 and again in 2014, allowing Bison players an outstanding facility for daily use and weight training. In 1988, the horseshoe edifice was totally resurfaced and new seating was added. New concession stands, restrooms, ticket booths and souvenir stands were added a year later, along with an eight-lane, all-weather track, which was resurfaced in 2017. The section at the south end of the stadium was landscaped in 1988, and a new scoreboard and message board were added. Other upgrades include new lights, which feature a nearly 10-fold increase in candle power. A FieldTurf playing surface was initially installed in the summer of 2001 as a gift from Norm Garrity ’63 and his wife, Mary Lou (Roepel) ’64. That surface was replaced during the summer of 2012 with state-of-the-art synthetic grass. Notably, Bucknell was one of the first Division I schools to install FieldTurf as a full-time playing surface in a football stadium. In 2019, Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium will celebrate its 95th year and 30th year since its rechristening. Turn to the following pages for pictures from the historic stadium’s nine decades of competition.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

also contains cardio equipment, with scenic views of the campus and natatorium. In July 2008, a new Mondo floor was installed, while new cardiovascular equipment was put in place in 2014. The third area, the Berger Family Weight Room, sits on the former site of Freas-Rooke Pool, and is used for instructional free-weight training and varsity workouts. The facility received all new weightlifting equipment in the summer of 2010.

KINNEY NATATORIUM

The Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on holding a standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 18 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups, national leadership in graduation rates, 136 Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 159 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its well-rounded intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a prominent location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff and sufficient locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the Bucknell University Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The facility surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which serves as a competition venue for the Bison volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the centerpiece of an impressive array of athletics facilities. The following gives a closer look behind its walls:

RAMER SCHAFFNER MEMORIAL HALL

Ramer Schaffner Memorial Hall greets guests as they enter the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center. The entry hall features the busts of 2nd Lt. George H. Ramer 1950 and 1st Lt. Dwite H. Schaffner 1915, Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients. Notably, Schaffner captained the Bison football team during his time in Lewisburg. The Ramer Schaffner Memorial Hall provides access to Gerhard Fieldhouse and the Krebs Family Fitness Center on the ground level. Guests may proceed to the second level to enter Davis Gym, administrative offices and the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame also celebrates Bucknell’s Patriot League championships and other notable feats.

KREBS FITNESS CENTER

Promoting lifetime wellness, the Krebs Family Fitness Center contains state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength conditioning equipment. The 16,000-square-foot center includes over 175 positions for equipment within three distinct areas. The first-level cardiovascular and pin-select equipment is open for student, faculty and staff use at all times. Directly above, the mezzanine

Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accommodates four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool features two moveable bulkheads, allowing for multiple team practices and recreational swimming to occur simultaneously. Amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands. In its first decade, Kinney Natatorium played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility has also served as host of nine Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships, five water polo conference championships and an exhibition game against the U.S. women’s water polo national team, drawing rave reviews at each. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the PIAA state swimming championships moved to Kinney Natatorium.

SOJKA PAVILION

Sojka Pavilion provides the Bison men’s and women’s basketball programs with one of the finest arenas in the east. A first-class venue capable of seating 4,000 spectators for sporting and other campus events, the pavilion has walk-down access to all seats and unobstructed views of the playing surface or concert stage for all spectators. The seating bowl features approximately 1,500 fixed seats and 2,500 retractable seats, enabling an expandable open floor area with sufficient space for three basketball courts for recreational activities and varsity practices. The spacious upper-level concourse includes two concession areas, restrooms, handicap-accessible seating and several suites that overlook the floor. Behind the scenes, on the floor level, Sojka Pavilion provides a green room for performance acts and other functions, a catering kitchen for special events, ticket windows, locker room space for home and visiting teams and officials and a loading dock capable of accommodating team buses and production trucks for televised events. Dozens of nationally televised basketball games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion. A 2005 meeting with No. 4 Villanova drew a school-record crowd of 4,433. In addition, the wrestling team set a program record by drawing 4,279 fans to a 2018 dual with No. 1 Penn State; that crowd was the third largest in Sojka Pavilion history behind men’s basketball games against Villanova and Wake Forest (4,330, 2006). In the history of the facility, which opened in January 2003, seven men’s basketball games have eclipsed 4,200 fans.

Members of the Bucknell community benefit from a wide array of first-class athletics facilities. The completion of the Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center in 2003 highlighted a facilities boon at Bucknell. Sojka Pavilion, Kinney Natatorium and the Krebs Fitness Center are the centerpieces of the sparkling indoor facility, complementing the renovated Davis Gym and Gerhard Fieldhouse, all of which lie under the same roof. Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium is the largest of the outdoor facilities, with 13,100 seats surrounding the new FieldTurf playing surface and eight-lane track. Holmes Stadium, completed in 2007, is an impressive covered grandstand featuring all chair-back seating, along with the accompanying support facilities (locker rooms, athletic training room, press box, concession/merchandise stand, etc.) that service both Emmitt Field (natural grass for soccer) and Graham Field (AstroTurf for field hockey and women’s lacrosse). The latest phase of the West Fields improvement project, completed in December 2017, included significant upgrades for Depew Field (baseball) and Becker Field (softball). Both facilities feature beautiful dugouts, fencing and scoreboards, as well grandstands, press boxes and a brick entry plaza. Also located on the western end of campus are numerous grass fields for intramurals and recreation, as well as a highly regarded 18-hole golf course, the Bucknell Golf Club. On the BGC property is an indoor/outdoor instructional golf facility, Bachman Golf Center, which provides a year-round training center for the Bison golf teams. The Bison rowing team has its own Boathouse located about 10 miles south of campus, along the scenic Susquehanna River. That is the only athletics facility that is not located within a short walk from the center of campus, but the rowing team has its own erg room adjacent to Davis Gym. The state-of-the-art Graham Building, which houses a wrestling training center and a campus health and wellness center, was opened before the 2016-17 academic year. The quality and location of these venues makes Bucknell one of the most sports-friendly campuses in the nation.

THE PREMIER SCHOLAR-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE ON AND OFF THE FIELD

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to graduation rates that are ranked annually in the national top 10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal. •

According to federal data released by the NCAA each fall, Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate annually ranks in the top 10 among all Division I institutions. The Bison have led the nation in graduation rates three times and were slotted fifth in the 2018 survey.

Once again, all 27 Bison varsity teams significantly exceeded the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) standards in 2018-19, with 10 programs boasting perfect scores in the four-year rolling average. Bucknell also received 12 NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) Public Recognition Awards, tied for the 13th-highest total among all Division I institutions.

Bucknell has claimed a league-high 159 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91. Alex Pechin was selected as the Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year each of the past two seasons; he became only the fifth student-athlete to twice receive this prestigious honor, joining fellow Bison David Berardinelli (1991 & 1992), Rob Glus (1993 & 1994) and Travis Nissley (2009 & 2010) and Fordham’s Barry Cantrell (1996 & 1997). At the end of the 2018-19 school year, Pechin became only the third football player to be honored as the Patriot League Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, joining Berardinelli (1992-93) and Lehigh’s Nick Martucci (1998-99).

A total of 458 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2018-19 after recording a GPA of 3.20 or better during their sport’s competition season. In addition, 35 Bison were honored on Academic All-Patriot League Teams, which mirror the All-Patriot League Teams for each sport; that group included three football players: Bryan Marine, Rick Mottram and Alex Pechin.

In addition to its 136 Google Cloud/CoSIDA Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 377 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including seven in 2018-19. Last season’s All-District selections included football’s Rick Mottram, a Mechanical Engineering major with a perfect 4.0 grade point average through his first four college semesters.

Bucknell has captured 115 Patriot League championships in its 29 years in the league. The Bison also boast 142 conference players of the year, 125 coaches of the year and 651 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming & diving, golf, tennis and wrestling.

All 27 of Bucknell’s varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better during the 2019 spring semester.

Bucknell has won the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 18 times in its 29-year history. In a 16-year stretch between 1999 and 2013, the Bison captured the crown 14 times.

With 136, Bucknell ranks 13th among all Division I institutions in total number of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. The Bison also stand second among Division I non-Power 5 schools.

A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excellence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olympic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, an Academic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

A NATIONAL MODEL IN PROMOTING THE SCHOLAR-ATHLETE

BUCKNELL ATHLETICS LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Athletics Leadership Institute. This program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Institute features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come. MENTAL PERFORMANCE: The mental health and performance of our student-athletes is of the utmost importance, and Bucknell University and the Department of Athletics have resources readily available. Dr. Angela Fifer, a sports psychologist and certified mental performance consultant, has office hours several days a week and works with student-athletes individually and in team settings. Bucknell also has an extensive Counseling and Student Development Center, staffed by a team of trained mental health professionals with concentrated study on the specific developmental needs of college students. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Linda Smolka, associate professor of mathematics. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy a full range of collegiate experiences. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: A member of the faculty, administration, staff or community can be invited by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams to take part in this unique initiative. The participant attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. In addition, the Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise SAAC, which is designed to enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes as well as soliciting responses into department issues, campus governance and proposed NCAA legislation. In addition, it builds a sense of community within the athletics program, organizes community service projects and serves as a collective voice for the student-athletes. BISON FUEL: In September 2017, Bucknell Athletics launched its first “BISON FUEL” nutrition station. The fueling station, open weekdays from 2 to 4 p.m. in Gerhard Fieldhouse’s Zeller Lounge, features a variety of healthy snacks and Powerade products that are available free of charge to all Bison student-athletes.

Bucknell Athletics is a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs in place.

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

The term “student-athlete” signifies something EXTRAORDINARY on the campus of Bucknell University.

BEING A BISON means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics.

BEING A BISON also means that you are a

scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, contribute to a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics.

BEING A BISON means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

The pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well-developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.

ChRisTY MaThewson (From his book, Won in the Ninth, written in 1910)

OUR MISSION: SET THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE FOR ATHLETIC PROGRAMS IN HIGHER EDUCATION The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference and the NCAA.

EMPOWERING STUDENT-ATHLETES TO BECOME CHAMPION LEADERS IN ACADEMICS, IN ATHLETICS AND IN LIFE Originally launched as the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy in 2011, the Department of Athletics’ formal leadership development program was rebranded in the summer of 2016 as The Bucknell Athletics Leadership Institute. The program is coordinated by a full-time director in Jen Kentera, and it features a robust slate of offerings. Since its inception, the program has focused on self and peer assessments related to leadership skills and personality traits; interactive leadership development seminars conducted by coaches and industry experts; and action plans where student-athletes learn to apply principles of effective leadership to real situations. LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE VISION: The Bucknell Athletics Leadership Institute will develop champion leaders, who embody academic, athletic and personal excellence and are empowered with the fortitude and skills to positively impact their teams, the Bucknell community, and the world beyond. LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE MISSION: Our mission is to create transformational leaders who excel in the classroom, on the field of play, and throughout society. We will create a culture of inclusion, appreciation, respect and excellence that transcends boundaries. In alignment with the Bucknell University and the Department of Athletics and Recreation strategic plans, we will develop bridge-builders who positively connect sports to society. Student-athletes and coaches will develop the ability to think critically, be catalysts for change, and lead with authenticity. We will mobilize teams and peers toward collective goals and have the courage to relentlessly persevere. We recognize that leadership is both inherent and learned, and we will serve to identify, challenge and support our student-athletes and coaches in their continued pursuits to be champion leaders in all facets of life.

LEWISBURG, BUCKNELL’S HOMETOWN WELCOME TO LEWISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

Bucknell’s hilltop campus slopes into Victorian Lewisburg, a town in which historic preservationists have influence. With a population of roughly 6,000, Lewisburg enjoys ornamental vanities that are not part of modern architecture. Gingerbread porches, carved wooden doors and threeglobed streetlights help make this town memorable. Lewisburg is what historians call a “Pennsylvania Town,” which has a layout consisting of a main street with a town square in the center, usually with a courthouse. Streets are typically numbered in one direction and named after trees in the other. In Lewisburg, the streets parallel to the main street are named after Saints. Historic roots are important in Lewisburg. The town celebrates the winter holidays with the annual Victorian Holiday Parade and exhibits at the Packwood House Museum and the Slifer House Museum. Its many historical sites include an Underground Railroad station. A weekly market brings Amish farmers to town in horse-drawn buggies. Lewisburg is ranked 15th in the nation in the book, The 100 Best Small Towns in America, written by Norman Crampton. The town earned this ranking by scoring high in areas such as the number of physicians per 100,000, the percentage of college-educated residents, the lowest number of serious crimes, its location near state parks and its being host to an institution of higher learning. The Borough of Lewisburg began its early life as “Derrstown,” named for its settler, landowner and miller, Ludwig Derr. While the date of the change remains obscure, historians point out that in English the German name for Ludwig is Lewis. Lewisburg, surveyed in 1769, was not officially founded by Derr until 1785. The borough was incorporated on March 31, 1812. After a ferry was built to carry wagons across the Susquehanna River and a canal was completed in 1833, the town began to experience greater population growth. It has benefited from every development in transportation: turnpike, canal, railroad and now highways. Enhanced by the chartering of Bucknell University on February 5, 1846 and the seating of the county government on October 9, 1855, the community expanded its development past Fifth Street to what is now Route 15. Most of its buildings are protected through historic district regulation. In addition to Bucknell, the Lewisburg Federal Prison System and Evangelical Community Hospital enhance the area’s financial stability. Education has always played a key role in Lewisburg’s social society. As early as 1790, the basics were taught in private homes. In 1805, the “Log Cabin Academy” was built. In 1835, three new schools were added. The present system consists of two elementary schools, a middle school that was recently named the top in the state and a high school. Sixty-five percent of Lewisburg’s high school graduates go on to college.

BISON FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

In 2018, the Bucknell football team visited organizations in Lewisburg, Danville, Mifflinburg, Milton and Selinsgrove to deliver tickets to Sept. 1’s home opener against William & Mary and Sept. 8’s Hero Appreciation Game against Sacred Heart.

BUCKNELL FOOTBALL TEAMS WITH VS. CANCER In 2018, the Bucknell football team partnered with Vs. Cancer to bring awareness to pediatric cancer and raise funds to support the cause. The Bison, who were the first collegiate football program at any level to team with Vs. Cancer, celebrated their efforts during their home opener against William & Mary. That Sept. 1 game doubled as Vs. Cancer’s kick-off to childhood cancer awareness month. In partnership with Vs. Cancer, the Bison selected Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital to receive 50 percent of donation proceeds. The other 50 percent was used to fund ground-breaking brain tumor research efforts through the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The team raised over $11,000 thanks to the generous support of family and friends. Bucknell football players and coaches visited patients and their families at Janet Weis Children’s Hospital on Aug. 13 as part of their partnership with Vs. Cancer. “It was an unbelievable experience, and I’m grateful that our team had an opportunity to spend time with the kids,” said captain Alex Pechin. “It’s a great feeling to know that simply talking and playing a game can create a smile on their face. Overall, it was an eye-opening experience that I will never forget.” After Aug. 18’s practice, Drew Newcomb, Ethan Torres and Renn Lints shaved their heads to raise pediatric cancer awareness. “There’s a lot of people out there that suffer from this disease,” Newcomb said. “It’s really terrible to see a young child have to go through something like this. So if we can do something to show support for them or help give them strength through their battle, it’s really a good cause for us to support.” The Bison welcomed five-year-old Levi Frantz and his family to Sept. 1’s season opener. Frantz, a native of Lewisburg, underwent treatment to have a brain tumor removed at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. Vs. Cancer was founded in 2012 by Chase Jones, a former collegiate baseball player at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who was diagnosed with a brain tumor as a freshman. Vs. Cancer now works with teams across the country who have joined the fight against childhood cancer. With the help of athletes, teams and communities nationwide, Vs. Cancer has raised over $4.2 million dollars since its inception and is now a signature fundraising campaign for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

The Bucknell football team will again team with Vs. Cancer during the 2019 campaign. Stay tuned for more information about how to give back.

BISON & GRIDIRON CLUBS THE BISON CLUB

<<<< 2019 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 134TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

Bucknell has continued its long tradition of academic and athletic excellence in large part because of the Bison Club, which provides support for all of Bucknell’s varsity intercollegiate athletics programs. Membership in the Bison Club helps the Bucknell athletics programs defray expenses of recruiting, equipment purchases and team travel. In fact, Bison Club gifts account for nearly 40 percent of the athletic department’s operating budget. In recent years, the Bison Club has received more than $2 million in donations and the goal is to increase that figure every year. The Bison Club also sponsors the annual Senior Athletic Awards Banquet, one of the highlights of the athletic year at Bucknell. At the banquet, each qualified senior student-athlete is presented with a Bucknell ring, watch or framed varsity letter in recognition of his or her achievements. Special awards honor the most outstanding student-athletes in the senior class. In addition, the Bison Club sponsors the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, which now includes 263 members and is located on the second floor of Gerhard Fieldhouse. Todd Newcomb, Bucknell Class of 1988, is in his 19th year as the director of the Bison Club. He is the second full-time director of the organization since it was founded nearly 70 years ago following Jim Campbell, who served in that capacity for 11 years before retiring in the summer of 2000. In addition to his duties as senior associate director of athletics for external affairs, Newcomb coordinates fundraising efforts for all 27 men’s and women’s varsity sports, alumni functions and special events. Working closely with Newcomb and the director of annual giving to identify and solicit new annual donors to the Bison Club are senior leadership gifts officer Tom Harvey and annual giving officers David Marble and Lexi Williams. For more information on supporting the Bison Club, contact Todd Newcomb by phone at 570-577-1771 or by email at tnewcomb@bucknell.edu.

Bucknell football alumni and friends of the program gathered on July 20, 2019 for the annual Bud Ranck-Tom Gadd Memorial Kickoff Classic at the Bucknell Golf Club. The tournament was founded in 1995 by late Bucknell head football coach Tom Gadd. In the tournament’s second year, Gadd named the event after good friend Bud Ranck, who had passed away earlier that year. To memorialize Gadd after his passing in March 2003, the Ranck family announced that the tournament would bear the names of both Bud Ranck and Tom Gadd. At the 2019 edition, the attendees, a diverse mix of former Bison players and coaches along with numerous fans and supporters of the program, enjoyed a round of golf under hot and muggy conditions. Later in the evening, they were treated to dinner, a silent auction, a raffle and a season preview from first-year head coach Dave Cecchini and his staff in the Langone Center’s Terrace Room. At the dinner, John Sommers ‘61 was announced as this year’s Ranck-Gadd Memorial Award winner for his contributions and support of the Bison football team. Sommers was a member of the 1960 Lambert Cup Championship team and is a leadership level supporter of the program. The golf tournament format was a scramble. Prizes were awarded to the first- and second-place finishers in each flight’s masters and open divisions.

JOHN BRAVMAN

17th President of Bucknell University 10th Year at Bucknell Stanford University ’79

John Bravman, a highly respected academic leader and distinguished professor of engineering, became the 17th president of Bucknell University on July 1, 2010. Under his leadership, the University has experienced some of the most significant achievements in its 173-year history. Bravman led the University to the successful conclusion of its most ambitious fundraising campaign ever — the $500 million WE DO Campaign — on July 1, 2017. The University surpassed the half-billion-dollar goal with $513 million raised, including more than $170 million for financial aid endowment, and more than $100 million for academic programs and support. On the same day the University announced the conclusion of the campaign, it officially established its third college — the Freeman College of Management — positioning Bucknell to capitalize on its unique combination of academic breadth in a highly personalized, undergraduate, living-learning environment. Bravman has prioritized the University’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the campus culture and deepen its commitment to providing students with an exceptional academic experience that leads to a lifetime of personal and professional success. In 2018, with broad input from faculty, staff and students, Bravman spearheaded a new Strategic Plan, which was approved unanimously by the University Board of Trustees in spring 2019. The University’s first new Strategic Plan in 13 years, it will serve as a blueprint for reaching institutional goals for academics, residence life, diversity and inclusion, accessibility, and environmental and financial sustainability, ensuring Bucknell’s leadership in higher education for generations to come. Bravman has also reaffirmed Bucknell’s commitment to providing an exceptional residential learning experience through numerous improvements to the University’s physical campus. They include: Academic West, a home for the social sciences; the South Campus Apartments, comprising four residence halls and MacDonald Commons; the Graham Building, a new building housing student health, the Counseling & Student Development Center, and a state-of-the-art wrestling facility; the renovated Carnegie Building, which houses student and faculty support offices; Hildreth-Mirza Hall, home of the University’s Humanities Center, the Griot Institute for the Study of Black Lives & Culture, and the Bucknell Press; and Academic East, a new facility providing additional space for engineering and the Department of Education, which will open in August 2019. In summer 2019, Bucknell began construction of a home for the Freeman College of Management and the Department of Art & Art History, which is scheduled to open in January 2021. Off campus, John continues to strengthen ties between the University and the region. Since his arrival, Bucknell has renovated several properties in downtown Lewisburg, including the Campus Theatre, the Post Office Building and the DeWitt Building, which is home to the University’s Entrepreneurs Incubator, Small Business Development Center and the Samek Art Museum’s Downtown Gallery. Born in 1957, John grew up in New York City and on Long Island. He completed his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in materials science and engineering at Stanford. He has published more than 160 peer-reviewed articles and has been cited in nearly 5,000 publications by scientists and engineers around the world. A tenured professor of electrical engineering, John has taught primarily in the fields of materials structure and analysis, thinfilm mechanical phenomena, microelectronic reliability and high-temperature superconductivity. He recently patented two coatings that may make coronary stents safer for heart-disease patients. In December 2016, John was elected chair of the Geisinger Health System Foundation Board of Directors. In April 2018, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to extend his contract through June 2025. John is married to Professor Wendelin Wright, who holds a joint appointment in the mechanical and chemical engineering departments at Bucknell. They have two young sons, Cole and Cooper. He has two older sons, Christopher and Matthew.

JERMAINE TRUAX Director of Athletics & Recreation 2nd Year at Bucknell Edinboro University ’06

Jermaine Truax assumed the duties of director of athletics & recreation at Bucknell on July 1, 2018. Truax (pronounced TRUE-axe) was previously Loyola University Chicago’s deputy director of athletics. Truax’s first year in Lewisburg was a success, both competitively and in the continuation of Bucknell’s outstanding track record in the area of scholar-athlete metrics. He watched the Bison women’s basketball and women’s cross country teams lift Patriot League championship trophies, with several other programs also in contention for league titles. Truax oversees a Division I program that ranked fifth nationally in student-athlete graduation rate in the most recent survey, while also easily surpassing the NCAA requirements for Academic Performance Rate (APR). In the area of fundraising, Bucknell’s “One Herd One Day” 24-hour giving challenge raised more than $530,000, with more than 2,100 donors participating. “Jermaine’s demonstrated leadership abilities, diverse administrative experience and commitment to a true student-athlete model positioned him as an exceptional candidate in what was an extremely competitive search,” said President John Bravman in announcing Truax’s hiring. “I am excited to see the ways in which he helps elevate what is already among the best Division I athletic programs in the country.” Truax’s leadership and vision were widely recognized within collegiate athletics prior to his arrival at Bucknell. In 2016, he was selected as one of 23 participants in the National Collegiate Athletics Association’s (NCAA) Pathway Program, which the NCAA describes as a yearlong experiential learning program for senior-level administrators. According to the NCAA, the program “provides an unprecedented opportunity to gain insight into every facet of an athletics department, preparing them to become well-rounded leaders who are equipped with the tools an effective athletics director needs.” Truax also holds the 2012 Rising Star Award, which the National Association for Athletics Compliance gives in recognition of young compliance professionals considered to be emerging leaders within the profession. At Loyola Chicago, Truax oversaw day-to-day operations of the athletics department and served as the sport administrator for all of its athletics programs including assisting with the administration of the men’s basketball team. Prior to his time at Loyola Chicago, he spent five years at Bowling Green State University, where he served as associate athletics director for compliance and administration. He also served as St. Bonaventure University’s director of compliance and coordinator of internal operations. Truax succeeded John Hardt, who left Bucknell in January 2018 after 18 years to become the vice president and director of athletics at the University of Richmond. WW A return to Pennsylvania was a bit of a homecoming for Truax, who played football at Edinboro University, where he earned a degree in health & physical education. He also holds a master of science degree in sport management from Slippery Rock University and is pursuing a doctorate in education from Bowling Green. Jermaine and his wife, Nimra, have three children.
