DEFENSE

SEASON PREVIEW <<< <<< OUTLOOK >>> >>>

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

It’s a reload, not a rebuild. While the Bucknell football team will have a radically different look from when it took the field for the Patriot League Championship Game this past April, head coach Dave Cecchini believes that it has the potential to be just as good. “We’re going to be a very young team, but our ceiling is extremely high,” Cecchini said. “We lost eight starters on defense, and we’re also going to have a lot of underclassmen play an awful lot for us on offense as well. If our players develop and benefit from the experience they gain during non-conference play, I believe we will have a shot at competing for the Patriot League title. I think that highly of our talent. We’re going to be a faster and more athletic team than we were in the spring. But we’re not there yet. We still need to mature and gel, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.” During the 2021 spring campaign, the Bison leaned heavily on their 23 seniors, a group that ultimately produced six of its 11 All-Patriot League honorees. Bucknell has a staggering 64 underclassmen on its roster entering the fall, split evenly between its freshman and sophomore classes; that number represents over 71 percent of its total number of players. “Most of our players are going into their first true football season at the college level,” Cecchini said. “We know less about our incoming freshmen than any other recruiting class that’s come before. Because of the recruiting dead period, we know them only from their film. At the same time, many of them didn’t have a high-school season as seniors. It will be a challenge for them, but it will also be a challenge for our sophomores. They’ve never had a football camp. They’ve never showed up in August and had the chance to focus on football. The team bonding and building that happens in a summer camp is so important, and it will be even more critical this year. We need to come together as a team.”

<<< <<< QUARTERBACK >>> >>> Returnees: Tyler Beverett, Tarrin Earle, Nick Semptimphelter Newcomers: Ethan Grady, Michael Hardyway Tarrin Earle’s moment has arrived, and Cecchini is confident that he’s prepared to seize it. For the past three seasons, Earle has appeared either as a backup or in a platoon with 2021 graduate Logan Bitikofer. Now, as a senior captain, he is ready to be Bucknell’s starting quarterback. “We’re excited about how far Tarrin has come,” Cecchini said. “In the time our coaching staff has been here, he has become a much more accurate passer. He was always a threat as an athlete, being able to scramble and hurt you on quarterback runs. Now, he’s much more of a dual-threat. He has mastered the offense we’ve installed, and we’re excited to have him under center this season.” In 14 career games, four of which were starts, Earle has thrown for 693 yards and five touchdowns; he has added 76 yards on 58 career carries, 58 of which came on 14 carries during the abbreviated 2021 spring campaign. Notably, he completed an impressive 20 of 29 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns in his two 2021 spring appearances. Cecchini said that Earle’s success as a quarterback, and as a leader, starts with one key trait. “It all starts with his confidence,” Cecchini said. “Tarrin has success because he’s confident in himself. He knows our offensive schemes. He knows his own capabilities. He has a high football IQ. He’s a great leader, and he has earned the respect of the teammates because of who he is as a person as much as who he is as an athlete.” Behind Earle on the depth chart is a pair of sophomores who complement each other very well: Tyler Beverett and Nick Semptimphelter. Bev-

TARRIN EARLE erett, who led Saguaro High School to three-straight Arizona 4A state titles, ran for a touchdown against Fordham this past spring. Semptimphelter, who threw for nearly 6,000 yards at Battle Ground Academy, also saw limited action as a Bison freshman. “Both continue to improve their knowledge of our offense,” Cecchini said. “They each execute it very well, but they bring different things to the table. Tyler is an athletic quarterback who is more of a running threat. He can scramble very well and outrun opponents. He also has a strong arm and can get the ball down field. Nick has a high football IQ and does a great job managing our offense. He’s an accurate passer, and he can really pick you apart from the pocket.” Freshman Ethan Grady may also see playing time depending on how quickly he adapts to the collegiate game. At St. Monica Catholic High School, he was a two-sport athlete; as a junior, he logged 2,266 yards and 21 touchdowns to help the Mariners win a league title. “Ethan will compete for playing time as well,” Cecchini said. “He’s a traditional drop-back quarterback with a strong arm. He impressed us on film, and we’re excited to have him in our quarterback room.” they get used to our offensive schemes.”

<<< <<< RUNNING BACK >>> >>> Returnees: Alex Barnard, Coleman Bennett, Jared Cooper, Danny Meuser, Mikey Neal Newcomers: Rushawn Baker, Paul Neel Bucknell has a wealth of depth and talent at running back, and Cecchini is excited to see what his returnees and newcomers alike will accomplish in 2021. “Running back is, without a doubt, our deepest position,” Cecchini said. “Each of our running backs has a unique style in terms of his strength, speed and size. We have a group of men who can, collectively, do everything you would ask of a running back, whether it’s carrying the ball, catching the ball out of the backfield, protecting the passer, picking up the blitzing linebacker or, in some cases, being the lead blocker for a quarterback run. It’s very rare now to have one running back play for 70 snaps and carry the ball 30 times a game. You platoon your running backs, and you need a lot of depth to be successful. We definitely have that depth.” Senior Jared Cooper is expected to lead the way. Known for his speed

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

JARED COOPER and his slipperiness, he has run for 1,022 yards and three touchdowns on 281 career carries. He can also catch the ball, contributing 424 yards and two touchdowns on 59 career receptions. Cecchini noted that, though Cooper is a smaller back, he is also extremely tough and has the ability to run downhill, pick up the blitz and pass protect. “Jared has played an awful lot and has done a lot of great things,” Cecchini said. “He’s a smaller, quicker type of back. He’s very athletic and can make big plays. He has proven that he’s a difference maker, whether he’s running the ball, catching the ball out of the backfield or serving as a returner.” Coleman Bennett made the most of his abbreviated freshman season, and Cecchini believes that he’ll be even better as a sophomore. This past spring, Bennett was named the Bison’s most outstanding newcomer after pacing the team in rushing attempts (35) and finishing second to Cooper in rushing yards (97). In addition, he returned 10 kickoffs for 226 yards, good for first on the team. “Coleman made an immediate impact,” Cecchini said. “He has tremendous speed and great hands. For a freshman, he came in and learned the offense very quickly. He’s an intelligent player who knows the Xs and Os inside and out.” Junior Alex Barnard and sophomore Danny Meuser are next in line. Barnard, an explosive back who can also catch the ball, scored a pair of touchdowns during Bucknell’s 2019 victory at Colgate; that season, he contributed 72 yards on 22 carries and 29 yards on four receptions. Meuser, a gritty, downhill runner, saw limited action as a Bison freshman; during his days at Dallas High School, he was a high-rep back who helped the Mountaineers finish as the PIAA 4A state runner-up and set a school record with 15 wins during their 2019 campaign. “Alex and Danny both have great experience,” Cecchini said. “We’re excited about what they bring to the table, and they definitely add to our depth.” Cecchini is also excited to have freshmen Rushawn Baker and Paul Neel on board, noting that they both have the ability to make an immediate impact like Cooper did in 2018 and Bennett did in the spring of 2021. Baker, who offensive coordinator Jason Miran described as the “thunder to Bennett’s lightning,” is a speedy back who is tough to tackle. As a senior at Victor Senior High School, he ran for 1,173 yards and 19 touchdowns on 123 carries en route to being named the 2021 Spring All-Greater Rochester Player of the Year; he also made two all-state teams during his time as a

Returnees: Caleb Gillen, Damian Harris, Connor Holmes, Renn Lints, Dominic Lyles, Matt McCreight, Andrew Passero, Christian Tait Newcomers: Clay Morris, Mason Muir, Marques Owens, Reed Signer Senior captain Dominic Lyles has proven that he has what it takes to be Bucknell’s featured wide receiver. A 2021 Spring All-Patriot League pick, he paced the Bison in receiving yards as a sophomore (579) and as a junior (291). “Dom is obviously our top guy,” Cecchini said. “He’s such a hard worker and just wants to win, no matter how many catches he gets. He’s a dynamic player who will be key to our offense’s success because he brings so much to the table. He really stepped up and had some big games this spring.” That he did. This past spring, Lyles matched Bucknell’s school record in single-game receptions (14) en route to a 103-yard performance in a victory at Lehigh. He then logged a team-best 97 yards on nine receptions during the Patriot League Championship Game. For his first two seasons as a Bison, Lyles was mainly utilized as a deep threat due to his ability to outrun most Patriot League defensive backs. As a junior, he shifted to the slot and proved just as difficult a matchup for linebackers and safeties. Not only does he boast explosive straight-line speed, he has the toughness he needs to go over the middle and win 50-50 balls. “Dom has become a more complete wide receiver,” Cecchini said. “We like to have all of our wide receivers learn multiple positions, and he can now play any of our wide receiver positions. Going into the year, our opponents are going to say, ‘This is the wide receiver we need to stop.’” Lyles is Bucknell’s only returning starter at wide receiver, as John McGuire was lost to graduation and former classmate Brandon Sanders, a two-time All-Patriot League First Team selection, transferred to Rutgers University. It remains to be seen who will join Lyles as a starter in 2021. “Beyond Dom, we’re a little inexperienced at wide receiver,” Cecchini said. “We need to have some of these younger supporting cast members step up and take on bigger roles in our offense.” Juniors Matt McCreight and Connor Holmes, sophomores Christian Tait, Damian Harris and Andrew Passero and freshmen Marquis Owens and Mason Muir are all in the mix to do just that. McCreight, formerly McGuire’s backup, is a physical presence who can make contested catches. Holmes, who caught 31 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown in 2019, is fearless and has proven a reliable blocker. Tait, formerly Sanders’s backup, made the most of his limited opportunities as a freshman; he caught two passes for 21 yards, including one for 16 yards in the Patriot League Championship Game. Cecchini noted that he has “tremendous upside” and praised him for his work ethic. Harris, who played both wide receiver and quarterback during his days at Hillside High School, boasts explosive speed and the height he needs to outjump opposing defensive backs. Like Tait, Cecchini said that he has a “very high ceiling.” Passero, small and shifty, can find gaps and beat oppo-

Blue Devil. “This spring, Rushawn had an amazing season,” Cecchini said. “He took his team all the way to the state championship game. It was very exciting to watch his highlight film, and we’re even more excited to watch what he’ll do in the years to come.” Neel, a power back, helped Charlotte Catholic High School win fourstraight North Carolina 3A state championships. The MVP of the 2019 state title game, he ran for 3,772 yards and 40 touchdowns over the course of his high-school career. “Paul is a very exciting player,” Cecchini said. “He is a tough back who is a physical runner. He’s a great complement to the rest of our backs.”

nents with his quick first step. Owens, a three-sport athlete out of Carl J. Harrison High School, has track speed and big-play potential; in 2019, he helped the Hoyas win the 2019 Georgia 6A state championship with a 15-0 record. Muir, who helped Greenwich High School win the 2018 Connecticut LL state title with a 13-0 record, is a larger wide receiver who has shown on film that he can go up and catch the jump ball. “We definitely have talent behind Dom,” Cecchini said. “All of our wide receivers have a chance to play. It’s just a matter of putting the best receivers on the field in any given situation.”

<<< <<< TIGHT END >>> >>> Returnees: Adam Barakat, Colby Grames, Charlie Shadek Newcomers: Kyle Fontes, Cade Rooney, Christian Spugnardi Entering camp, tight end is one of Bucknell’s biggest question marks. With four-year starter Alex Twiford lost to graduation, and heir apparent Colby Grames out for the fall with an injury, Cecchini admitted that five different players have a shot to seize the starting job. “We have some unknowns at tight end,” Cecchini said. “It’s going to be a wide-open race. We ask our tight ends to be jacks-of-all-trades. When you’re a tight end, a lot of your ability to play is based on how physical you can be. You’re a third to a half of an offensive lineman. You have to contribute in the run game and not just as a receiver. That’s hard to do when you’re a freshman.” Junior Charlie Shadek, a steady blocker, and sophomore Adam Barakat, a talented receiver who was a three-sport athlete at California’s St. Francis High School, are the Bison returnees. “Charlie is a hard worker who has done some good things on special teams,” Cecchini said. “Adam has the potential to be a very good tight end. He’s athletic, and, as a former wide receiver, he can catch the ball very well.” Cecchini said that freshmen Kyle Fontes, Cade Rooney and Christian Spugnardi will have the opportunity to play right away, depending on how well they perform during camp. Of the three, Cecchini believes that Fontes is the closest to making an immediate impact. “Right now, Kyle is the most complete player,” Cecchini said of the Central York High School product who helped the Panthers finish as the 2020 PIAA 6A state runners-up. “He could wind up starting as a true freshman. He has great size and is a very good blocker. He also has good hands and runs solid routes.” Rooney, a member of three PIAA 6A state title teams at St. Joseph’s Preparatory School, and Spugnardi, out of Allentown Central Catholic High School, both have winning pedigrees. Rooney, who played five different positions during his time as a Hawk, is more of a blocker. Spugnardi, a lengthy receiving threat, played on both sides of the ball for the Vikings, logging 100 yards and one touchdown as a tight end and 46 tackles and 11 tackles for a loss as a defensive end during the abbreviated 2020 campaign. “St. Joseph’s and Allentown Central Catholic are both powerhouse programs,” Cecchini said. “Both Cade and Christian definitely played against great competition in high school. It’s just a matter of how quickly they adapt to the college game.”

<<< <<< OFFENSIVE LINE >>> >>> Returnees: Michael Killiri, R.J. Mehan, Ethan Pitzel, Sean Quarterman, Jacob Russ, Noah Sansalone, Harrison Shepherd, Casey Stephenson, Zack Tarburton, Jack Wall Newcomers: Jake Guy, August Herbold, Grant Jones, Mason Jones, Frederick Sturgis

JACOB RUSS At offensive line, the goal is always to gel. It’s not only about putting the best five linemen on the field; it’s also about making sure that they work well together. This season, Bucknell returns five linemen with starting experience, including three of its five 2021 spring starters. Still, there will be a hole to fill on the offensive line. Lost to graduation is P.J. Barr, a two-time All-Patriot League honoree who led the class of 2021 with 34 career starts. “P.J. is a big loss,” Cecchini said. “He started at all five positions while he was here, which is so rare for an offensive lineman. He was versatile and such a great leader. He had great intensity and was a fierce competitor. We’re definitely going to miss him.” As much as the Bison will miss Barr, there is plenty of talent returning. The leader will be senior captain Jacob Russ, who is entering his third season as Bucknell’s starting center. “Jacob is ensconced as our starting center,” Cecchini said. “He’s done a great job with his leadership. He’s a steady and reliable player for us. He’s also incredibly tough and gritty.” The Bison also return sophomores Ethan Pitzel and Casey Stephenson, who started as freshmen at left tackle and left guard respectively. Cecchini expects each to take another leap forward in 2021. “Ethan and Casey are developing into outstanding offensive linemen,” Cecchini said. “They both went through some growing pains as freshmen, but that’s to be expected because offensive line is such a difficult position for freshmen to play. The fact they both started as true freshmen is a testament to how talented they are. Now, they’ve had another year in our offense. They’re bigger and stronger. I fully expect them to both be starters this year.” The question marks are at right tackle and right guard. Cecchini said that it all comes down to where sophomore Zack Tarburton, who sat out the 2021 spring campaign due to injury, fits in. As a freshman in 2019, he appeared in eight games, starting four times at left guard and twice at center. “Zack is a very talented player who can play all of the positions like P.J. did,” Cecchini said. “As long as he’s healthy, he should fit in, but whether it’s as a guard or a tackle remains to be seen. How our offensive line shakes out will depend on where he goes.” Senior Michael Killiri, who has started 11 career games at right tackle, and junior R.J. Mehan, who has been an important member of Bucknell’s rotation for the past two seasons, also could earn a starting role. “Michael has played a decent amount at right tackle,” Cecchini said. “He’s someone who has a very good shot of being a starter. R.J. has gotten

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

GRAYSON CHERUBINO a lot bigger since his freshman year. He has become a more physical presence and is more comfortable in our offense. He’s definitely in the mix as well.” Sophomore Sean Quarterman and freshman Jake Guy will vie for the backup center role. Sophomore Jack Wall will provide valuable depth at the guard positions.

<<< <<< DEFENSIVE LINE >>> >>> Returnees: Ryan Betz, Mike Bright Jr., Connor Carretta, Nathaniel Carson, Grayson Cherubino, Mark Dunckle, Luke Hamper Newcomers: Jack Barnes, Justin Fisher, Will Ohler, Pat Quinlivan, Aneesh Vyas Senior captain Grayson Cherubino is ready to make his final season in the orange and blue his best yet. A three-year starter, he has the ability to become an All-Patriot League defensive lineman. Cherubino enters 2021 with 73 tackles (34 solo), 14.5 tackles for a loss of 73 yards, 6.5 sacks for a loss of 49 yards and three forced fumbles in 24 career games, a class-best 19 of which were starts. Notably, he paced all Bison defensive linemen in tackles in both 2018 (35) and 2019 (33). “Grayson is a player we’re very excited about,” Cecchini said. “He’s really big and strong. He’s also athletic and moves very well for his size. He has a great motor. He plays hard all the time, and he can play multiple positions on the defensive line.” While Cherubino is the only returning starter, Cecchini is confident in his defensive line. There will be a learning curve as younger players adjust to new roles, he said, but Bucknell has size, athleticism and talent among its returnees and newcomers alike. Cecchini is especially excited to see what Mike Bright Jr. and Connor Carretta will accomplish as sophomores. Bright Jr., an end who was the lone freshman to start on the defensive side of the ball during the 2021 spring campaign, excels as a pass rusher. Carretta, a tackle who saw action in all four 2021 spring games, has proven capable of stopping the run due to his size and strength. “Mike and Connor did very well as freshmen,” Cecchini said. “Mike continues to mature physically. He’s bigger, stronger and faster than he was in the spring. We’re really excited about his future at defensive end. Connor gained a lot of confidence and has the potential to become a very good

Returnees: Ben Allen, Tyler Alston, Tyler Bower, Cooper Kim, Blake Leake, Cole McCabe, Chi Nnawuba Newcomers: Aidan Catania, Brad Jamison, Joe Ramos Following the 2021 spring campaign, Bucknell graduated three standout linebackers. Simeon Page, the Bison’s fifth four-time All-Patriot League honoree, was a disruptive force who terrorized opposing offenses to the tune of a school record 26.5 career sacks. Rick Mottram, the program’s fourth repeat Academic All-American, was a cerebral scholar-athlete who could be trusted to quarterback the entire defense. And Gerrit Van Itallie, who combined the athleticism of a safety with the physicality of a linebacker, excelled at the hybrid “Star” position, consistently racking up tackles. “You don’t replace guys like Simeon, Rick and Gerrit,” Cecchini said. “They were great players, leaders and people. They certainly lived up to Bucknell’s great tradition at linebacker. But, as much as we’re going to miss them, we’re also excited to watch our younger players step up and continue their legacy.” Because of what Van Itallie brought to the table, the Bison consistently played three linebackers over the past two seasons. In 2021, they will most likely start Mike and Will linebackers, with the “Star” position becoming more of a true safety. Junior Ben Allen was Mottram’s understudy at Mike linebacker; he has also been a key special teams performer since arriving in Lewisburg. Cecchini said that he’s “excited to see what Ben can do now that the linebackers ahead of him on the depth chart have graduated.” “He’s very talented,” Cecchini said. “He just played behind such solid performers. For a middle linebacker, he’s very athletic. He has both size and speed. He can play sideline to sideline. The intensity is there. He just needs to step up into his new leadership role on our defense.” At Will linebacker, a pair of sophomores who played different positions as freshmen will compete for the starting role. Blake Leake, who was Van Itallie’s backup at the “Star” position, burst onto the scene by returning an interception for a 41-yard touchdown in his collegiate debut. Tyler Alston, who was shifted to defensive end due to Bucknell’s depth at linebacker, also saw action in all four spring games. “Blake and Tyler are moving to a position they didn’t really play as freshmen, but they’re both amazing football players,” Cecchini said. “It’s just going to be how comfortable they get at their new position.” Cecchini referred to Leake as “a freak of nature.” At Eastern View High School, Leake played defensive back and wide receiver, making the 2018 all-state first team at both positions. Because of that background, he brings a unique skillset to Will linebacker. “Blake is the fastest, and most athletic, linebacker we have,” Cecchini said. “He can run like a defensive back. He could play ‘Star’ in a heartbeat instead of a defensive back. He has so much strength and athleticism. He

player here. He’s a big guy who will have an impact on the interior.” At nose guard, senior Ryan Betz is the heir apparent. Fellow senior Luke Hamper, who was a linebacker for the previous two seasons, returns to the defensive line and could factor into the Bison’s rotation. Sophomore Nathaniel Carson will also have the opportunity to earn playing time. Cecchini could see freshmen Jack Barnes, Will Ohler and Justin Fisher making an immediate impact as defensive ends. In addition, fellow freshman Aneesh Vyas has a shot at seeing game action on the interior. “We’re excited about our freshmen on the defensive line,” Cecchini said. “They’re all outstanding players. They’re going to challenge our returnees and potentially get into the rotation. It’s just a matter of how quickly they adapt to the physicality of the college game.”

GAVIN PRINGLE can play lights-out football.” Cecchini said that, depending on how Bucknell’s defense shakes out, Alston could also end up playing Mike linebacker or returning to the defensive line. “Tyler is big, fast and athletic,” Cecchini said. “He’s our biggest linebacker, and he also showed a lot of promise at defensive end in the spring. We want to put the best 11 players out there on defense, and he could be one of those guys. He’s a very talented player who will likely be a starter.” Junior Cooper Kim, a big, physical player, will back up Allen at Mike linebacker; he has been a fixture on special teams, appearing in all 15 of the Bison’s games during his time in Lewisburg to date. Senior Cole McCabe, who brings speed to the table, and freshman Brad Jamison, who can make plays sideline to sideline, are also expected to factor in Bucknell’s linebacker rotation.

<<< <<< DEFENSIVE BACK >>> >>> Returnees: Sterling Deary (CB), Micah Dennis (CB), Eric Holsinger (CB), Brent Jackson (S), Quentin Lemon (S), Justin Murray (S), Jeff Odongo (S), Gavin Pringle (CB/S), Jonathan Searcy (S) Newcomers: Ethan Robinson (CB), Ray Russell (CB), John Schlendorf (S), Chris Sims (CB), Alex Smith Jr. (S), Mason Taylor (S) With starting safeties Brandon Benson and Conner Romango lost to graduation, and the “Star” position being entrusted to a safety instead of a linebacker, the Bison’s secondary will have a different look this fall. Still, there’s plenty to be excited about due to the return of three cornerbacks with starting experience, including two-time All-Patriot League performer Gavin Pringle, as well as the progression of Benson and Romango’s former backups. “We’re very excited about our defensive backs,” Cecchini said. “All of them are extremely athletic, and there’s more to be gained the more athletic you are and the faster you are. You’re not seeing many teams that cram the ball down your throat anymore. You’re seeing teams with a base set of three wide receivers, especially in the Patriot League. It’s a lot more common to start in a nickel formation now than at any other point in football’s history. And we have fast defensive backs who can play both safety and corner.” Pringle, only a junior, headlines Bucknell’s secondary. In 15 career games, 11 of which were starts at cornerback, he has racked up 78 tackles

(57 solo), 13 defended passes and two interceptions. Because the Bison have such a versatile group of defensive backs, he might see time at safety. “As long as we have depth at corner, we might move Gavin around,” Cecchini said. “He’s a game changer on defense, which is part of the reason why he’s already a two-time All-Patriot League performer entering his junior year. Opposing offenses have to know where he is, just as they had to know where Simeon Page was. That baton is being passed to Gavin. He’s a very talented cornerback, and he’s gotten physical enough to play safety as well. We want to put the best five guys out in the secondary, so, if that means putting Pringle at safety, we’ll go with him there. We want to be able to move him around so an offense won’t know where he’s going to be. Opposing offenses are going to have to ask, ‘Where is he? What position is he? How can we avoid him?’” Having seniors Micah Dennis and Sterling Deary at cornerback will give Bucknell the flexibility to move Pringle around. Dennis has started since his sophomore year, logging 47 career tackles (32 solo) and one interception return for a touchdown. Deary is a force to be reckoned with when healthy; as a freshman, he made 25 tackles (18 solo), posted two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown, and recovered a fumble during a punt return. “Micah and Sterling are such different players, but they’re both very talented,” Cecchini said. “Micah is so reliable and consistent. He’s a guy you can count on. We don’t have to worry about him missing assignments or not doing his job. Sterling has all the talent in the world but has had some bad luck with injuries and illnesses. But, when he’s ready to go, he’s such a dynamic football player. He can make big plays.” Junior Eric Holsinger, who became the first Bison to be recognized as an All-Patriot League special teams non-specialist this spring, will add valuable depth at cornerback. “Eric had a great spring on special teams,” Cecchini said. “He gives us a lot of different looks there. He did a particularly good job as a gunner on punt team. He gets off the line of scrimmage really well. He’s getting better and better as a defensive back as well.” At safety, juniors Jonathan Searcy and Brent Jackson appear poised to step into the vacant starting roles. Both have been fixtures on special teams during their time as Bison, combining for 45 tackles. “We’re really excited to see what Jonathan and Brent can do,” Cecchini said. “They both did well as backups and on special teams. Jonathan is a hard worker with a high football IQ. Brent is athletic for his size and has the ability to play deep and around the box.” Cecchini highlighted Quentin Lemon and Jeff Odongo as sophomores to watch, noting that Lemon could play any of the three safety positions and that Odongo could be penciled in at either cornerback or safety. He also has high expectations for his six newcomers at defensive back.

Allison (P/K), Tris Lehner (LS), Nick Niemynski (P/K) Entering the 2021 spring campaign, punter was Bucknell’s biggest question mark on special teams. With Alex Pechin, who was named to a staggering 15 All-America squads during his record-breaking career, lost to graduation, it was unclear who would step up. In the end, Ruben Anderson took over punting duties as a freshman. He turned in a solid campaign, landing six punts inside the 20 and having eight go for fair catches. Cecchini believes that he’ll be even better as a sophomore. “Ruben is the guy,” Cecchini said. “He’s getting more consistent.

Notably, Page was the fifth Bison to make four career All-Patriot League squads, joining RB Rich Lemon (1993-96), OL Julién Davenport (2013-16), DL Abdullah Anderson (2014-17) and P Alex Pechin (2015, 2017-19).

MICAH DENNIS years to come.” Now, the Bison have to replace their placekicker. Ethan Torres, who capped his strong career by going 5-for-5 on field goals and 8-for-8 on extra points in the spring, was lost to graduation. Cecchini admitted that the competition to replace him “is wide open.” The contenders are sophomores Ryan Schatzel and Ben Popko and freshman Nick Niemynski. “Any one of them could be the guy,” Cecchini said. “It’s going to be a battle. From the fall to the spring, Ryan increased his leg strength dramatically. He gained confidence and became more consistent. Ben was our holder in the spring and did a good job. He had some injuries that kept him from kicking, but he’s better now and will be in the mix. Nick has a powerful leg. We think he can be entrusted to kick the longer field goals. He’s got the tools he needs to succeed at this level.” Bucknell will also have to replace Mike Colantuono, who served as long snapper for three seasons, including the two in which Pechin picked up 14 of his 15 All-America nods. Cecchini expects sophomore Aidan Davenport, who received a 4.5-star rating from Rubio Long Snapping while in high school, to take over for Colantuono. At return specialist, the Bison expect big things from Cooper, Bennett and Dennis. In the spring, Cooper became the first Bison since 2009 to make an All-Patriot League Team as a return specialist after returning five punts for 46 yards. Bennett impressed as a freshman kick returner, most notably returning the Fordham game’s opening kickoff for 76 yards. Dennis has returned kickoffs since his sophomore year, logging 218 yards on 13 attempts; in 2019, he led Bucknell with 165 yards on 10 attempts.

HEAD COACH DAVE CECCHINI

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

DAVE CECCHINI Bob Odell Head Coach 3rd Season at Bucknell Lehigh University ’95

since 1986. Other highlights of his time at Valparaiso included defeating rival Butler in back-to-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 Houston Texans. Beginning in 2003, Cecchini spent three seasons as the offensive coordinator/ quarterbacks 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 a member of the Washington Football Team, has also spent time in eight 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. Tammy is currently the head women’s tennis coach at Bucknell.

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. During the 2021 spring campaign, Cecchini was voted as the Patriot League Dick Biddle Coach of the Year for leading the Bison to a spot in the first-ever Patriot League Championship Game. Bucknell, which was picked to finish last in the Patriot League preseason poll, knocked off Pennsylvania rivals Lafayette (38-13) and Lehigh (6-0) to earn a date with defending champion Holy Cross. In addition, Cecchini was selected as a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, presented by STATS to the FCS Coach of the Year, for the second time in his career. Cecchini’s Bison placed 11 on the 2021 Spring All-Patriot League Team, headlined by a school-record seven First Team selections. Senior linebacker Simeon Page became the fifth Bison to make four All-Patriot League Teams; he later joined Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year Rick Mottram on the Academic All-Patriot League Team. In 2019, Cecchini led the Bison to a third-place finish in the Patriot League, their highest placement since they were the 2014 runners-up. Their Patriot League victories came over defending champion Colgate (32-14), rival Lehigh (20-10) and Georgetown (20-17); two of their three league losses came by a touchdown or less. Bucknell faced a grueling non-conference schedule, featuring FBS opponent Temple and three nationally ranked FCS teams; the Bison ultimately finished the year with a 3-8 overall record. Cecchini’s offense set school records in completions (229) and passing attempts (426) during the 2019 season. All-Patriot League First Team wide receiver Brandon Sanders became the sixth Bison to make at least 50 catches in a single campaign while quarterback Logan Bitikofer cracked Bucknell’s top 10 in single-season completions (8th, 175) and single-season passing attempts (t-8th, 305). Defensively, the Bison excelled, leading the Patriot League in conference action in yards per play allowed (4.4), takeaways (14), sacks (32) and defensive touchdowns (4); they also finished second in total defense (319.7) and rushing defense (96.3). The head coach at Valparaiso University from 2014 to 2018, 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 TWITTER HANDLE: @DaveCecchini of the Year and the AFCA FCS Region 4 Coach of the Year.

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. He began as an assistant coach at Yale, then moved on to Temple and Wisconsin. Odell retired to Lewisburg and volunteered his time and football expertise back to the program on the field, in the radio booth and as a loyal supporter of the Bison football squad. And, thanks to the generosity of Norm Garrity, he will forever have his name associated with Bucknell’s endowed head coaching position — The Bob Odell Head Football Coach.

JASON MIRAN

Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks 3rd Season at Bucknell University of Pennsylvania ’09

Jason Miran was named the Bucknell football team’s offensive coordinator on February 15, 2019. Miran, who was selected to the prestigious AFCA 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute in 2021, also works with the Bison quarterbacks. 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. Miran’s first position out of college was at Franklin & Marshall, where he spent a year as a tight ends/assistant offensive line coach.

ISAAC COLLINS Defensive Coordinator 3rd Season at Bucknell University of Rochester ’94

Isaac Collins was named the Bucknell football team’s defensive backs and special teams coach on February 18, 2019. He took on the position of defensive coordinator in advance of the 2021 spring season. Collins spent the previous nine seasons as a head football coach, first at Widener University and then at Seton Hill University. From 2010 to 2012, Collins led Widener to national prominence, posting a combined record of 25-8. In 2012, the Pride went 11-1, captured a Mid-American Conference title and reached the NCAA Division III quarterfinals for the first time since 2001. For his role in Widener’s success, Collins was recognized as the MAC Coach of the Year, the D3Football.com East Region Coach of the Year and the Maxwell Touchdown Club’s Tri State Coach of the Year. The year before, bolstered by an explosive offense that averaged a nation’s best 47.1 points per game, the Pride rolled to a 9-2 record, capped by a 48-27 victory over Waynesburg in the ECAC South Atlantic Bowl. Under Collins’s watch, Widener rose to as high as No. 8 in the AFCA Coaches Poll and No. 10 in the D3Football.com rankings. Eight members of the Pride captured First Team All-MAC honors, with two being named Second Team All-Americans by Beyond Sports College Network. In addition, quarterback Chris Haupt was voted as the 2012 MAC Offensive Player of the Year and ECAC South Offensive Player of the Year. Collins spent six seasons at the helm of Seton Hill’s program, helping the Griffins post their best overall record since 2008 in 2016. That season, Seton Hill paced the Division II ranks in passing offense and finished sixth in total offense. The year before, the Griffins stunned then No. 14 Slippery Rock, 41-38, in Greensburg; the Rock, the highest ranked opponent Seton Hill ever knocked off, finished that season with a 12-2 record and reached the NCAA quarterfinals. From 2006 to 2009, Collins served as defensive coordinator at The Citadel. In 2007, his defense led the Southern Conference in total defense, helping the Bulldogs finish with their best record in 15 years. During his time in Charleston, which overlapped with Dave Cecchini’s three-year stint as Citadel’s offensive coordinator, Collins mentored nine all-conference honorees. Collins was the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Delaware (2005), associate head coach and defensive coordinator at the College of the Holy Cross (2004), assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Lehigh University (2000 to 2003) and assistant coach at Columbia University (1998 to 2000). Collins broke into the coaching ranks at Hobart College, where he was an assistant coach from 1994 to 1998; there, he was elevated to defensive coordinator for his final season. Collins participated in the National Football League Minority Fellowship Program as an assistant secondary coach with the New York Giants (1999) and Philadelphia Eagles (2001). Through the program, he helped install defensive systems, develop and implement practice plans for the defensive secondary and run special teams drills in practice. During his collegiate playing days, Collins was a standout running back for the University of Rochester. A four-year letterwinner and 1993 team captain, he rushed for at least 100 yards 14 times over the course of his career. In 1992, he helped Rochester win a University Athletic Association championship; for his efforts, he was honored as the league’s Co-Offensive Player of the Year. He graduated from Rochester with a degree in political science in 1994. A 1990 alumnus of Geneva High School, Collins also had an impressive high school career.

GAME NOTES • This was the first time Bucknell kicked off a season against a Patriot League opponent. • The Bison led the Leopards in total offense (415-284), rushing yards (87-15), passing yards (328-269), first downs (21-13) and time of possession (34:0425:56). Notably, Bucknell did not commit a single turnover. • WR Brandon Sanders became the sixth Bison to eclipse 170 receiving yards in a single game, joining Tom Mitchell (264 against Temple in 1965), Will Carter (246 against Lehigh in 2014), Lester Erb (202 against Fordham in 1989, 194 against Lafayette in 1989), Carl Probst (201 against The Citadel in 1971) and David Berardinelli (184 against Towson in 1992). • This was the third time Sanders eclipsed 100 receiving yards in a single game. He previously did so at Temple (115) and against Holy Cross (122) during the 2019 campaign. • TE Alex Twiford’s touchdown was the first of his collegiate career; he also set new career highs in receiving yards and long reception (35). • P/K Ethan Torres went a career-best 5-for-5 on PATs and matched his career long with his 38-yard field goal. His eight points represented a new career-high figure. • Four freshmen started the opener: RB Coleman Bennett, DL Mike Bright Jr., OL Ethan Pitzel and OL Casey Stephenson. DL Clay Myers, a senior, also made his first start.

Powered by strong defensive play, and 179 receiving yards and two touchdown catches from All-Patriot League wide receiver Brandon Sanders, the Bucknell football team toppled Lafayette, 38-13, at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Despite taking the field for the first time in 490 days, the Bison (1-0, 1-0 PL South) showed few signs of rust. After allowing the Leopards (1-1, 0-1 PL South) to score on their first drive of the game, they piled up 38 unanswered points. Logan Bitikofer and Tarrin Earle tossed two touchdown passes apiece, with each also throwing for over 140 yards. Defensively, Bucknell limited the 2019 Patriot League runners-up to 284 yards of total offense, including only 15 on the ground. Four different Bison intercepted a pass, with freshman Blake Leake returning his first career interception 41 yards for a touchdown to put an exclamation mark on his team’s commanding victory late in the fourth quarter. Sanders’s career-high 179 yards came on 12 receptions, two shy of the school record he set against Holy Cross in 2019. His 179 yards stands seventh in school history and is 57 higher than his previous career-best total set against the Crusaders. Alex Twiford (52) and Dominic Lyles (51) rounded out Bucknell’s top three in receiving yards, each also catching a touchdown pass. Bitikofer completed 14 of 22 passes for 183 yards while Earle went 11 for 13 for 145 yards and added a team-best 25 yards on seven carries. Notably, the Bison offensive line ceded just a single sack over the course of the contest. Defensively, six players tied for the Bucknell lead with four tackles, with Ryan Brida’s all being solo. Seven different Bison registered at least one tackle for a loss, with Simeon Page and Gerrit Van Itallie’s coming on sacks. In his first collegiate start, freshman Mike Bright Jr. tied Patriot League Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Malik Hamm for the game high with 1.5 tackles for a loss. Beyond Leake, seniors Page, Brandon Benson and Conner Romango each picked off a pass. Bucknell scored on its possessions following Benson and Page’s interceptions, both of which came in the third quarter. Less than two minutes into the game, Lafayette found the end zone. After converting on a 3rd and 2, Cole Northrup found a wide-open Julius Young for a 61-yard touchdown. The Leopards’ extra-point bid went wide, keeping the score at 6-0. The rest of the half, the Bison didn’t allow Lafayette to advance further than its own 41-yard line. They got on the board at the first quarter’s 8:30 mark, with Lyles hauling in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Bitikofer. Ethan Torres kicked his first of a career-high five extra points to give Bucknell a 7-6 lead. With the clock winding down in the second quarter, the Bison marched to the red zone. The Leopards came up with a sack on a 3rd and 1 at their own 18-yard line, forcing Bucknell to attempt a field goal. Torres booted a 38 yarder to send the Bison into the locker room with a 10-6 advantage. Bucknell then scored two unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter. Bitikofer connected with Sanders for a diving 35-yard score at the 11:51 mark while a scrambling Earle found a wide-open Twiford for another 35-yard touchdown with 9:01 on the clock. Earle connected with Sanders for a highlight-reel touchdown catch 40 seconds into the fourth quarter, extending the Bison’s advantage to 31-6. Sanders matched his career-best figure in touchdown receptions, set in 2019 at Lafayette, by hauling in a 12-yard pass while draped by a Leopard defensive back. Leake’s pick 6 came with 6:25 remaining in regulation; Leake stepped in front of a pass and raced 41 yards to the end zone. With Bucknell resting the majority of its starters, Lafayette broke its scoring drought with a nine-yard touchdown that capped a nine-play, 74-yard drive with 2:45 left to play.

GAME NOTES • The Bison held their opponent to less than 25 rushing yards for the second-straight game. Dating back to the 2019 campaign, they have limited four of their past five foes to fewer than 40 rushing yards. • Bucknell led in total offense (239-190), rushing yards (92-23) and time of possession (36:43-23:17) while Lehigh held a slim advantage in passing yards (167-147). • The Bison offensive line only ceded a single sack for the second-straight game; in addition, Bucknell didn’t turn over the ball for the second game in a row and took only one penalty over the course of the contest. • This was the Bison’s 12th shutout of the Mountain Hawks. Bucknell last held its rival off the scoreboard in 1976, a 3-0 victory at then Memorial Stadium. Before that, the Bison blanked Lehigh for threestraight seasons in 1964 (3-0), 1965 (41-0) and 1966 (45-0); they also shut out their rival twice in the 1890s, once in the 1900s, once in the 1910s and three times in the 1920s. • This was Bucknell’s first shutout since Nov. 11, 2017, a 12-0 Senior Day whitewashing of Georgetown. • LB Rick Mottram made the 100th solo tackle of his career while QB Logan Bitikofer completed his 300th career pass. • Head coach Dave Cecchini improved to 2-0 against his alma mater at the helm of the Bison football program.

The Bucknell football team clinched its spot in the Patriot League Championship Game with a 6-0 shutout of rival Lehigh at Goodman Stadium. The Bison (2-0, 2-0 PL South) only needed a pair of Ethan Torres field goals to down the Mountain Hawks (0-2, 0-1 PL South) and capture the Patriot League South Division title. Bucknell’s suffocating defense limited Lehigh to 190 yards of total offense, only 23 of which came on the ground, in head coach Dave Cecchini’s first game on the visiting sideline at his alma mater. Bucknell’s victory over Lehigh came on the heels of its 38-13 rout of Lafayette. By sweeping their Pennsylvania rivals for the first time since the 2014 campaign, the Bison completed South Division play with a perfect 2-0 record. On the offensive side of the ball, Dominic Lyles had a banner day, matching classmate Brandon Sanders’s school record by catching 14 passes. He accounted for 103 of Bucknell’s 147 receiving yards; it was the junior wide receiver’s second career 100-yard receiving game. During the fourth quarter, the Mountain Hawks had one drive stall in Bison territory. That drive, which reached the Bucknell 38, was halted by a Simeon Page sack that brought up 4th and 13 and forced a punt. Later, Lehigh got the ball back with 3:08 remaining in regulation; Gerrit Van Itallie sealed a Mountain Hawk three and out with a sack that pushed them all the way back to their own six-yard line. Lehigh’s final offensive possession came with 1:22 left to play, following TyGee Leach stuffing a Bison rush short of a first down on 4th and inches. The Mountain Hawks were immediately sent back five yards due to a penalty; back-to-back Bison sacks by Clay Myers and Mike Bright Jr. pushed them all the way back to their own 20-yard line, facing 3rd and 23. Though Cross Wilkinson regrouped to complete two passes, they combined for 22 yards, a single yard short of what they needed to try for a Hail Mary pass. Defensively, Bucknell was led by Van Itallie, who made a team-best seven tackles along with his critical sack. Conner Romango (6) and Rick Mottram (5) completed the Bison’s top three in tackles. Bright Jr. continued the strong start to his collegiate career, leading all players with two sacks. In total, Bucknell posted five sacks for a loss of 23 yards. Tarrin Earle and Logan Bitikofer split time at quarterback, with Earle throwing for 64 yards and running for 33 yards and Bitikofer completing 13 of 18 passes for 83 yards. Sanders made three catches for 24 yards. During the scoreless first quarter, the teams combined for just six first downs and 117 yards of total offense. Lehigh had the frame’s best scoring opportunity, covering 67 yards to Bucknell’s 10-yard line on its first possession. With the Mountain Hawks facing 3rd and 4, Roger Mellado batted down a pass to force them to attempt a field goal. That 27-yard bid ultimately sailed wide right, keeping the score at 0-0. With 4:50 remaining in the second quarter, the Bison broke the scoreless deadlock. Torres’s 26-yard field goal capped a 16-play, 68-yard drive orchestrated by Earle. During that drive, Earle rushed for 20 yards and passed for 22 yards; most notably, he kept the drive alive with a three-yard quarterback keeper on a 4th and 2 at Lehigh’s 11-yard line. Following Torres’s field goal, the Mountain Hawks used three-straight catches to advance to the Bucknell 33, highlighted by Alex Snyder’s 23-yard reception. Bucknell’s defense held fast, bringing up a Lehigh 4th and 2 at the Bison 25. Blake Leake, who returned his first career interception 41 yards for a touchdown against Lafayette, stepped in front of Snyder and knocked away a pass to help preserve his team’s lead going into halftime. The Bison converted on their first drive of the second half, taking advantage of a Mountain Hawk personal foul during a punt that gave them the ball back at the Lehigh 44. Following that penalty, Earle and Bitikofer combined to lead Bucknell to the Mountain Hawks’ seven-yard line. Most notably, Bitikofer scrambled down the sideline for a 13-yard gain to advance to the Lehigh 10. The Bison ultimately had to settle for a 24-yard field goal, Torres’s second of the game.

GAME NOTES • Fordham led in total offense (421-199), passing yards (335-153) and rushing yards (86-46) while Bucknell held a slim edge in time of possession (30:39-29:21). • The Bison, who did not turn the ball over during their first two games, threw three interceptions and lost one fumble. The Rams scored 21 of their 31 points off of turnovers. • LB Simeon Page’s sack brought his career total to 25.5, matching the school record held by Dave Hibbard (1978-1980) and Ed Burman (1993-95). • S Brandon Benson made his 200th career tackle. • CB Gavin Pringle led all players with nine tackles, matching his career-best total, while LB Gerrit Van Itallie paced Bucknell with two tackles for a loss. • The Bison used three QBs, with Logan Bitikofer seeing the most time.

The Bucknell football team fell to Fordham, 31-17, at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The Rams (2-1, 1-1 PL North) scored three unanswered touchdowns in the second half to hand the Bison (2-1, 2-0 PL South) their first loss of the 2021 spring campaign. Quarterback Tim DeMorat, the Patriot League’s Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, completed 32 of 42 passes for 335 yards and three touchdowns to lead Fordham to its eighth-straight victory over Bucknell. In addition, linebacker Glenn Cunningham filled the stat sheet with eight tackles, one sack and two interceptions. The Rams’ touchdowns came at the third quarter’s 5:49 and 2:42 marks and the fourth quarter’s 8:45 mark. One was a 49-yard pick 6 while the other two were passing touchdowns of at least 45 yards that came on the heels of interceptions. For the Bison, freshmen Coleman Bennett and Tyler Beverett each ran for his first career touchdown. Bennett had a strong showing, totaling a career-best 186 all-purpose yards on 34 rushing yards, 24 receiving yards and 128 kick return yards. Bucknell got on the board early, bolstered by Bennett returning the opening kickoff 76 yards to the Fordham 16. The Ram defense held fast, most notably forcing a fumble that pushed the Bison back six yards. Ethan Torres ultimately booted a career-long 39-yard field goal to put Bucknell up by a 3-0 margin. Following Torres’s field goal, Fordham marched 67 yards to the Bison’s one-yard line. A big hit by Conner Romango caused DeMorat to cough up the ball, which was pounced on by Simeon Page to halt the promising Ram drive a single yard short of a go-ahead score. During the second quarter, the Rams picked up a field goal and scored the game’s first touchdown to claim a 10-3 advantage. Their field goal, a 41 yarder, came after the ball hit a Bison during a punt return, resulting in them gaining possession at the Bucknell 21. Gerrit Van Itallie tied up Trey Sneed for a loss of seven yards to bring up 4th down and force the field-goal attempt. Fordham’s touchdown, a three-yard pass from DeMorat to M.J. Wright, capped a 10-play, 87-yard drive. During that go-ahead possession, Sneed rattled off a 17-yard run while DeMorat connected with Fotis Kokosioulis for a 38-yard gain; after spinning out of a tackle, Kokosioulis nearly found the end zone himself but stepped out of bounds three yards shy. Just when it looked like the Bison would go into the locker room facing a deficit for the first time this spring, Rick Mottram picked off a DeMorat pass to give them one last scoring opportunity. Mottram returned his interception 36 yards to the Fordham 23 with 35 seconds left in the half; one play later, Bennett found a seam to score his first career touchdown. Bucknell took its first lead of the game at the third quarter’s 9:22 mark following Beverett’s four-yard touchdown run. The Bison covered 76 yards in nine plays, with Logan Bitikofer connecting with three different wide receivers for four first downs, including three in a row to advance from the Bucknell 24 to midfield. The Rams went three and out after Beverett’s touchdown run. The Bison appeared poised to add to their lead on their next possession, with Jared Cooper’s 30-yard scamper advancing them quickly to Fordham’s five-yard line. Three plays later, Cunningham picked off a pass in the end zone to put an end to that drive; DeMorat then found Dequece Carter for a 33-yard gain and Kokosioulis for a 50-yard touchdown on back-to-back plays to even the score at 17-17. Mike Courtney’s 49-yard interception return for a touchdown proved to be the game-winning score. The Rams added a 46-yard touchdown catch by Carter from DeMorat in the middle of the fourth quarter when Bucknell was resting the majority of its starters.

GAME NOTES • This was the Patriot League’s first-ever Football Championship Game. Entering the 2021 spring campaign, all 34 of the Patriot League’s football champions were decided by overall league record. • Holy Cross led in rushing yards (192-22), total offense (289-217) and time of possession (31:57-28:03) while Bucknell held the advantage in passing yards (195-97). • The Crusaders extended their winning streak over the Bison at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium to six games. • LB Simeon Page’s sack brought his career total to 26.5, breaking the school record held by Dave Hibbard (1978-1980) and Ed Burman (1993-95). • S Conner Romango made his 100th career tackle while Page registered his 100th career solo stop. • S Brandon Benson tied Page for the game high with 10 tackles. Page paced all players with 2.5 tackles for a loss and was one of four Bison to record a sack, joining Romango and DLs Grayson Cherubino and Nnamdi Unachukwu. • QB Logan Bitikofer completed 23 of 45 passes for 195 yards. RBs Jared Cooper and Coleman Bennett tied for the team lead with 34 rushing yards. • For Holy Cross, RB Peter Oliver totaled a game-best 67 rushing yards. LB Jacob Dobbs made nine tackles while DL Benton Whitley totaled two tackles for a loss.

Holy Cross topped the Bucknell football team, 33-10, in the first-ever Patriot League Championship Game at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The Crusaders (3-0, 1-0 PL North) seized the momentum early by scoring 17 unanswered points in the first quarter and kept the Bison (2-2, 2-0 PL South) off balance for large chunks of the game by intercepting five passes. With its victory, Holy Cross defended its 2019 Patriot League title and secured the league’s automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Football Championship. Defensive back John Smith was selected as the Patriot League Championship Game MVP after recording four tackles, one tackle for a loss, two pass breakups and one interception return of 58 yards. Smith’s interception halted a promising Bucknell drive one yard short of the red zone and set up a touchdown that extended the Crusaders’ lead to 31-10 early in the fourth quarter. Holy Cross quarterback Matthew Sluka, the Patriot League Rookie of the Year, proved a dual threat, running for 61 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries and completing eight of 11 passes for 78 yards and one touchdown. His efforts helped his team keep many drives alive; overall, the Crusaders went 6-of-13 on their third-down conversions and 2-of-3 on their fourth-down bids. For the Bison, Dominic Lyles caught nine passes for 97 yards, highlighted by a 32 yarder that set up a touchdown. In his last game for Bucknell, four-time All-Patriot League selection Simeon Page made a gamehigh 10 tackles (seven solo) and claimed sole possession of the school record in career sacks (26.5). Holy Cross scored on its first drive of the game, marching 85 yards in 10 plays. Early in the drive, Sluka kept the drive alive by scampering for 27 yards on a 3rd and 16 at his team’s nine-yard line. Later, Sluka found Jalen Coker for a 34-yard gain. Sluka capped the drive with a six-yard touchdown run. The Crusaders got the ball right back after Jacob Dobbs picked off a pass deep in the Bison end. Despite starting at Bucknell’s 15-yard line, Holy Cross was forced to settle for a 26-yard field goal after advancing only six yards on three plays. With six seconds remaining in the first quarter, the Crusaders extended their lead to 17-0; that time, a sixyard passing touchdown completed a 12-play, 51-yard drive. For the second time after a scoring drive, they got the ball right back thanks to an interception on Bucknell’s first play following the kickoff. On that drive, which started in the second quarter, the Bison defense came up with a crucial three and out. Bucknell got on the board with 4:20 remaining in the first half, capitalizing on a fumble recovered by Brent Jackson during a Holy Cross punt return. On the second play following the turnover, Lyles hauled in a 32-yard pass from Logan Bitikofer; Lyles’s diving catch gave Bucknell the ball at the Crusaders’ three-yard line, and Bitikofer found a seam and scampered into the end zone. Holy Cross went three and out on its next drive, giving the Bison one last opportunity to chip away at their deficit before halftime. They advanced as far as the Holy Cross 44, with Bitikofer connecting with Lyles for a 17-yard gain and Jared Cooper rushing for 18 yards on three carries. The Crusaders ultimately held fast, with Benton Whitley halting the drive as time expired with a sack on fourth down. Bucknell cut Holy Cross’s advantage to 17-10 with a field goal on its opening drive of the second half. The Bison covered 64 yards in 14 plays, with Bitikofer completing first-down passes to Brandon Sanders and Lyles. Bucknell nearly found the end zone on a trick play; after Bitikofer pitched the ball to wide receiver John McGuire, the open Bison in the end zone couldn’t come up with McGuire’s rising pass. Ultimately, Ethan Torres booted a 28-yard field goal. Bucknell then attempted an onside kick, which was recovered by the Crusaders. Three plays later, Peter Oliver found a seam and raced for a 37-yard touchdown; that score put Holy Cross back up by two possessions, at 24-10. Sluka’s 15-yard touchdown followed Smith’s interception return, which halted a promising Bison drive set up by a Gavin Pringle interception. The final score was brought to 33-10 by a safety just over a minute later.

GAME NOTES • WR Brandon Sanders was the first Bison to record at least 100 receiving yards in a single game since WR Justin Bethea posted 111 during the 2018 Lafayette game. • CB Gavin Pringle’s pick 6 was the first by a Bison since CB Sterling Deary returned an interception 41 yards during the 2018 Lafayette game. Like Pringle, Deary was a freshman at the time. • For Bucknell, Logan Bitikofer (6-for-9, 39 yards), John Chiarolanzio (3-for-8, 69 yards) and Tarrin Earle (11-for-25, 82 yards) all saw action at quarterback. • S Conner Romango paced the Bison with 12 tackles, matching his career-high total set in 2018 at then No. 14/15 Villanova. LB Rick Mottram also reached the double digits, making 10 tackles. • P Alex Pechin averaged 51.6 yards on eight punts. He set a new career high in punting average, a figure just 0.4 shy of the school record set in 1962. • The Bison never turned the ball over during the contest; it was the first time since their 12-0 shutout of Georgetown on Nov. 11, 2017 that they didn’t commit a turnover. • Temple QB Anthony Russo set a new career high with his four touchdown throws; despite exiting the game early in the fourth quarter, he totaled 409 yards on 32-for-41 passing.

Brandon Sanders caught nine passes for 115 yards, and Gavin Pringle returned an interception 36 yards for a touchdown, but Temple rolled to a 56-12 victory over the Bucknell football team at Lincoln Financial Field in front of 26,378 fans. Sanders’s play and the energy displayed on the Bison sideline were highlights of head coach Dave Cecchini’s debut. The Owls, Bucknell’s first FBS opponent since 2015, used stout defensive play, particularly in the first quarter, and a banner game by quarterback Anthony Russo to take the first meeting between the once long-time rivals since 1970. “I’m really proud of how we sustained our effort in the second half,” Cecchini said. “We had some great drives on offense. We moved the football but couldn’t finish. We made some threeand-outs on defense, and we did it playing a lot of third-team guys. Unfortunately, we gave up a couple of big plays, and that was young guys making mistakes. We can live with that.” Temple (1-0) set the tone early, covering 75 yards in 12 plays to score a touchdown on its opening drive. By the end of the first quarter, the Owls held a 21-0 lead; they posted 229 yards of total offense and 12 first downs while limiting the Bison to a single first down and 22 passing yards. Bucknell (0-1) chipped away at Temple’s edge during the second quarter. After the Owls scored a touchdown on their first possession of that frame to make it a 28-0 game, the Bison put together the next two scoring plays. Pringle’s pick 6 gave the Bison new life with 8:13 on the clock. The freshman stepped in front of a Russo pass and dashed 36 yards up the sideline to the end zone; a failed extra point kept the score at 28-6. Bucknell’s defense forced a punt on Temple’s next possession. John Chiarolanzio then engineered an eight-play, 60-yard drive capped by a 37-yard Ethan Torres field goal; the highlight of that drive was a sprawling, one-handed grab by Sanders on a Chiarolanzio deep ball that advanced the Bison 42 yards to the red zone. The Owls ultimately went into the intermission up by a 35-9 margin after Russo found Re’Mahn Davis for a 51 yard touchdown with 1:02 remaining in the half. They held sizable advantages in total offense (427-66) and first downs (22-4) at that point in the contest. Tarrin Earle came in at quarterback to start the second half and led Bucknell on a 13-play, 64-yard march down the field. The Bison ultimately settled for a 28-yard Torres field goal that made it a 35-12 game. Temple went on to score three more touchdowns to bring the final score to 56-12. The Owls ended the game with advantages in total offense (695-211), first downs (32-16) and time of possession (30:31-29:29). “With how well we performed in the second half, it was sad to see it go to 56-12,” Cecchini said. “I felt like we competed a little bit better than the final score shows. On the whole, I’m really proud of them. We didn’t just show glimpses of being a very good football team out there, we showed some drives.” Bucknell is now 0-7 against FBS schools since the FBS/FCS (formerly I-A and I-AA) classification began in 1978. Once long-time rivals, the Bison and Owls met every season between 1927 and 1970, with the winner receiving the “Old Shoe” trophy.

GAME NOTES • WR Dominic Lyles’s touchdown catch was the first of his collegiate career. • QB Logan Bitikofer’s touchdown pass to Lyles was Bucknell’s first passing play of at least 50 yards since Bitikofer found RB Jared Cooper for a 74-yard touchdown against Monmouth on Oct. 13, 2018. • While the Bison again utilized three quarterbacks, John Chiarolanzio proved the most productive, throwing for 141 yards on 14-for-29 passing. • S Conner Romango led Bucknell in tackles for the second-straight game, finishing with nine (eight solo). S Brandon Benson added seven tackles (five solo) and a career-best three pass breakups. • For Sacred Heart, WRs Naseim Brantley (96) and Tyrese Chambers (94) came close to reaching 100 receiving yards. • The Pioneers held advantages in total offense (507-311), first downs (23-19) and time of possession (31:59-28:01). • The teams combined to miss three field goals. Sacred Heart also had one failed extra point attempt. • CB Shawn Ramcheran’s interception of a Bitikofer deep ball at the fourth quarter’s 6:21 mark was Bucknell’s first turnover of the 2019 campaign; the Bison went the first 113:39 of the season without turning the ball over.

Sacred Heart used an explosive second quarter to power past the Bucknell football team, 30-10, at Campus Field. The Pioneers (1-1) scored three unanswered touchdowns in the final seven minutes of the second quarter to flip a 3-3 tie into a 23-3 advantage. That flurry proved to be the difference in the game, as the Bison (0-2) would only draw as close as 13 points the rest of the way. Julius Chestnut was a standout performer for Sacred Heart, factoring into three touchdowns. The sophomore ran for 162 yards and one touchdown and also caught two of Logan Marchi’s three touchdown throws. Marchi, a former Temple player, finished the game with 316 yards on 21-for-37 passing. For Bucknell, Dominic Lyles was a breakout performer, catching five passes for 98 yards and a 50-yard touchdown. While the Bison again utilized three quarterbacks, John Chiarolanzio proved the most productive, throwing for 141 yards on 14-for-29 passing. “That’s a good football team,” said head coach Dave Cecchini of Sacred Heart. “They’re going to make a lot of noise in their quest for a NEC Championship. There’s some good takeaways from the game, but overall it was a disappointing outcome.” After a scoreless first quarter, the teams traded field goals to make it a 3-3 game at the second quarter’s 7:50 mark. Just over a minute after Ethan Torres’s 31-yard field goal evened the score for Bucknell, Chestnut broke free for an 86-yard touchdown run. Then, the Pioneers recovered an on-side kick, giving them the ball right back on the Bison 33. They capitalized three plays later, with Marchi completing a 28-yard touchdown pass to Tyrese Chambers with 6:26 on the clock. Trailing 17-3, Bucknell began to march up the field. Taking over at their own 33, the Bison advanced as far as the Sacred Heart 36. Near the beginning of that drive, Tarrin Earle was pushed out of the pocket on a 3rd and 5; facing significant pressure, he still found Marquis Carter for a first down. Later on, Carter rumbled for an eight-yard gain on a 4th and 1 to advance Bucknell to the Pioneer 40. Ultimately, Sacred Heart’s defense held fast, with the Bison turning the ball over on downs after a pass fell incomplete on 4th and 6. That gave the Pioneers the ball back with just under a minute and 30 seconds remaining in the half. After R.J. Trimble-Edwards made a sprawling one-handed grab of a 37-yard Marchi pass, they reached the Bucknell 12. Two plays later, with just three seconds left to play before the break, Marchi found an open Chestnut for the score. Because of a failed extra point, Sacred Heart went to the locker room with a 23-3 advantage. The rest of the way, the teams only combined for two scores. At the third quarter’s 11:54 mark, directly following an 18-yard punt return by Brandon Sanders, Bitikofer found Lyles for a 50-yard touchdown; Lyles, made a spin move to haul in Bitikofer’s deep ball and shed his defender. Sacred Heart’s final score, a nine-yard Chestnut touchdown catch, came with 11:11 on the clock during the fourth quarter. “The glimpses are there,” Cecchini said. “We’re excited as a coaching staff. We see the flashes of brilliance. We see the potential that our guys have. Right now, we’re just inexperienced, and not just inexperienced at playing football but inexperienced in the offensive scheme as well. It’s a frustrating part of that growing and maturing that needs to take place. At times, it’s going to be one step up, two steps back, then it’s going to be two steps up, one step back, and then, all of a sudden, we’re going to have a quarter where it’s all clicking. The more our players grow in our system, the more consistent they’ll be at making plays.”

GAME NOTES • The Bison held edges in first downs (16-15) and passing yards (225-124) while the Wildcats led in rushing yards (262-46), total offense (386-271) and time of possession (30:19-29:41). • WRs Blais Herman (72) and John McGuire (46) led Bucknell in receiving yards, each setting a new career high. • QBs John Chiarolanzio (134 yards, 11-for-32 passing) and Logan Bitikofer (91 yards, 12for-22 passing) both saw action. • LB Rick Mottram not only intercepted his first career pass; he also led the Bison defense with six tackles. • LB Simeon Page made the 100th tackle of his collegiate career; his career total stood at 102 following the game. • On the strength of his four solo tackles, S Conner Romango eclipsed his 2018 total of 22 tackles in just three games; he finished the night with 25 tackles (21 solo). • P Alex Pechin had yet another strong game, averaging 51.0 yards on six punts. He landed five of his six punts inside of the 20, with four sailing for at least 50 yards. • Bucknell’s home opener doubled as its First Responder and Hero Appreciation Night. The Bison wore special baseball hats and helmet decals to honor fallen soldiers and Gold Star Families.

No. 23/22 Villanova rolled past the Bucknell football team, 45-10. The Wildcats (3-0) used a fast start and strong defensive effort to spoil the Bison’s (0-3) first home game of the Dave Cecchini era. Villanova’s scoring drives were quick and efficient, with all but two taking less than two minutes off the clock. Daniel Smith threw touchdown passes to three different receivers and also ran for a score while Justin Covington totaled 119 yards on seven carries. At halftime, the Wildcats held a 28-0 lead, scoring two touchdowns in each of the first two quarters. They opened the scoring in the first 22 seconds when Jaquan Amos picked off Bucknell’s third pass of the game and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown. The Bison made two trips to the red zone during the first quarter but couldn’t put points on the board. Their first trip happened after Rick Mottram picked off his first career pass; Brandon Benson deflected the pass, which Mottram dove to catch at Villanova’s 21-yard line. The Wildcat defense ultimately held fast, forcing Bucknell to attempt a 23-yard field goal; that bid sailed wide left at the first quarter’s 7:39 mark. Later on, John Chiarolanzio found a wide-open Blais Herman for a 59-yard gain to the Wildcat 19. Three short gains later, the Bison found themselves facing 4th and 2 at the Villanova 10; linebackers Forrest Rhyne and Amin Black stuffed Chad Freshnock a yard shy of a first down, giving their team the ball back at their 10. And, one play later, the Wildcats were deep in Bucknell territory. Covington, who is among the FCS’s top rushing threats, rattled off a 64-yard run to the Bison 26; that play set up a 23-yard touchdown pass from Smith to Todd Summers at the first quarter’s 1:38 mark. During the second frame, Villanova tacked on touchdowns at the 13:19 and 5:50 marks. The Wildcats’ first touchdown, a three-yard quarterback keeper by Smith, came after they took over deep in the Bucknell end following a failed fake punt. The second, a six-yard pass from Smith to Changa Hodge, was set up by a Drew Wiley interception in Bison territory. Bucknell had a chance to chip away at Villanova’s lead in the final three minutes of the second quarter. The Wildcats were forced to punt from their own end zone after Simeon Page sacked Smith for a loss of nine yards at their one. The Bison ultimately took over at Villanova’s 46-yard line following an eight-yard return by Brandon Sanders. Bucknell advanced to the Villanova 21, but two incomplete passes and a fumble that the Bison recovered brought up 3rd and 14 at the Wildcat 25. A 42-yard field goal attempt ultimately sailed wide right, keeping Bucknell off the board. In the second half, the Bison got on the board with a 37-yard Ethan Torres field goal at the third quarter’s 3:49 mark. They added a four-yard Logan Bitikofer rushing touchdown at the fourth quarter’s 7:36 mark; Bitikofer’s second career rushing touchdown came after Benson recovered a fumble following a bad snap, setting up Bucknell at the Villanova 16. Villanova added two touchdowns in the third quarter and a field goal in the fourth quarter to bring the final score to 45-10. “I believe we have a long ways to go until we’re playing our best football,” Cecchini said. “The biggest factor is going to be injuries. We’re really, really banged up. A ton of guys went down again today. Hopefully, all of them can get back for Princeton. The bye week has come at the right time. If we can get healthy and have guys continue to plug away, this football team has some bright days ahead.”

GAME NOTES • WR Dominic Lyles became the second Bison to record at least 100 receiving yards in a single game this season, joining WR Brandon Sanders. • QB Logan Bitikofer’s total of passing yards was one more than his previous career best, set last year against Lafayette. • WR Connor Holmes became the first member of the class of 2023 to score an offensive touchdown with his 15-yard touchdown catch from Bitikofer in the fourth quarter. • WR John McGuire’s touchdown catch was the first of his career. The junior is in his first season as a starter. • K Ethan Torres’s 38-yard field goal, which came at the third quarter’s 10:06 mark, was a new career long; his previous career long was 37 yards, achieved three times. • Princeton was Bucknell’s second ranked opponent of 2019. • A year ago, the Tigers went an undefeated 10-0 and won the Ivy League title. They scored at least 50 points in five games and held eight opponents to 14 or fewer points. • Bucknell’s Family Weekend tilt doubled as its Vs. Cancer Game. The Bison raised money for Geisinger’s Janet Weis Children’s Hospital and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation; before kickoff, they presented a check for nearly $15,000 to Vs. Cancer’s Rachel Mark.

No. 23 Princeton, the defending Ivy League champion, stormed past the Bucknell football team, 56-23. Quarterback Kevin Davidson had a banner day for the Tigers (2-0), completing 29 of 37 passes for 381 yards and an Ivy League-record seven touchdowns. His favorite target was wide receiver Andrew Griffin, who caught nine passes for 200 yards and a school-record four touchdowns. For the Bison, quarterback Logan Bitikofer set a new career high with 268 yards on 28-for-42 passing; he threw two touchdown passes and ran for one more over the course of the contest. Wide receivers Dominic Lyles (108) and Connor Holmes (88) each exceeded 80 receiving yards on eight catches, helping Bucknell nearly reach 400 yards of total offense. “We’re a work in progress,” said head coach Dave Cecchini. “We are getting better. We’ve certainly played as tough of a non-conference schedule as anybody so far, and we’re not done yet. Despite that, we’ve continue to play better football, more consistent football. There’s a lot to be positive about. We’re going to keep moving forward. We may have some temporary setbacks here or there, but we’re going to keep our eyes on the prize.” The Bison (0-4) got off to a strong start, holding the high-powered Tigers to just 79 yards of total offense and a single touchdown in the first quarter. They jumped out to a 7-0 lead at that frame’s 6:57 mark after stuffing Princeton on a 4th and 1; Roger Mellado and Gerrit Van Itallie combined for the tackle that gave Bucknell the ball at midfield. Bitikofer then orchestrated a nine-play, 50-yard scoring drive capped by a nine-yard John McGuire touchdown catch; McGuire made a sprawling play, just getting his toes in bounds, to come up with Bitikofer’s throw in the right corner of the end zone. Like the Bison, the Tigers got on the board following a successful fourth-down stop. After taking over at the Bucknell 40, they needed just three plays to even the score. With 2:36 on the clock, Davidson found Andrei Iosivas for a 29-yard touchdown. The Bison had an opportunity to regain their lead after advancing to the Princeton 22 on their next drive. But Samuel Wright came up with a sack for a loss of nine yards on 3rd and 7, pushing Bucknell back to the Tiger 31. Ultimately, a 48-yard field goal attempt came up short. Princeton then took its first lead of the contest, with Davidson finding Andrew Griffin twice in a row for 69 yards. Griffin’s 57-yard touchdown catch came down the home sideline at the second quarter’s 12:54 mark. The Bison regrouped, finding the end zone themselves two drives later. Their second scoring drive was a seven-play, 80-yard march that was capped by a one-yard Bitikofer quarterback keeper; highlights of that drive included a 15-yard catch by Chad Freshnock and a 54-yard rumble by Lyles on back-to-back plays; Lyles shed multiple tackles en route to his big gain, a new career long. Princeton answered on its next drive, covering 75 yards in nine plays to regain its advantage. From that point, the Tigers took control of the game, scoring six touchdowns to a Bucknell field goal and a touchdown the rest of the way. Princeton held advantages in first downs (30-23) and total offense (595-398). The Bison’s 398 yards of total offense was their highest number of the 2019 campaign; it came on 127 rushing and 271 passing yards. “The biggest story for us was lack of getting pressure on the quarterback,” Cecchini said. “We weren’t able to pressure him enough into bad throws, into sacks, into negative yardage plays. That made a really big difference because they have so many football players at so many positions. Jared Cooper led Bucknell with 65 rushing yards while Freshnock totaled 48. Cooper added 23 yards on returns to finish with 92 all-purpose yards. Rick Mottram made a game-high 11 tackles; it was the second time he reached the double digits this season. Van Itallie was next with a career-best 10. For Princeton, Collin Eaddy (83) and Ryan Quigley (64) surpassed 50 rushing yards while Jacob Birmelin (68) and Iosivas (55) exceeded 50 receiving yards. T.J. Floyd and James Johnson tied for the team lead with nine tackles while James Stagg and Sultaan Shabazz both picked off passes.

GAME NOTES • Bucknell’s previous school record in single-game receptions was 13, set by Tom Mitchell in a 24-21 victory at Harvard on Oct. 3, 1964. Mitchell is a member of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame and the grandfather of current Bison DL Joe Schiano. • WR Brandon Sanders went over 100 receiving yards for the second time; he previously posted 115 on nine catches at Temple in the 2019 opener. • S Gerrit Van Itallie’s pick 6 was the Bison’s second of the season; CB Gavin Pringle returned an interception 36 yards for a score at Temple. • Bucknell moved to 18-16 in Patriot League openers. • A year ago at Fitton Field, the Bison spoiled Holy Cross’s Homecoming with their 19-16 victory; the Crusaders, who Bucknell has faced four times on its Homecoming, returned the favor in 2019. • This is only the fourth time in program history that Bucknell has started 0-5; the Bison previously started 0-6 in both 1958 and 1988 and 0-5 in 2010. • Bucknell’s loss to Holy Cross was its 11th in a row, matching the school record in consecutive losses set between 1957 and 1958. The 1958 campaign was the Bison’s first under eventual Bucknell Athletics Hall of Famer Bob Odell, who lost the first six games of his acclaimed tenure.

Holy Cross outlasted the Bucknell football team, 21-14, in their Patriot League opener. In a defensive battle punctuated by explosive offensive plays, the Crusaders (2-3, 1-0 PL) flipped a 14-0 deficit into their fifth-straight road victory over the Bison (0-5, 0-1 PL). Bucknell, which was celebrating Homecoming, had Gerrit Van Itallie return an interception for a touchdown and Chad Freshnock, who missed the 2018 season due to injury, find the end zone for the first time since his sophomore campaign. “Holy Cross deserved to win the football game,” said head coach Dave Cecchini. “We didn’t do our job. When you play championship games against an opponent who is no better and no worse than you, it comes down to doing the little things right. When it came to offense, defense and special teams, we failed to do that in the second half.” For the Bison, Brandon Sanders broke a school record that had stood since 1964 with 14 receptions; he finished the game with a career-best 122 receiving yards. Freshnock added 78 yards on 14 carries while Logan Bitikofer completed 20 of 29 passes for 185 yards. Van Itallie and Conner Romango each picked off a pass while Nnamdi Unachukwu posted two sacks. Trailing by a touchdown, Bucknell got the ball back with 8:59 remaining in regulation following a strong defensive stand highlighted by a Joe Schiano sack. Starting at their own 32, the Bison advanced as far as the Holy Cross 18; a highlight of that drive was a 25-yard reception by Dominic Lyles down the home sideline that brought Bucknell to the red zone. But incomplete passes and an untimely personal foul stalled the drive, and the Bison opted to attempt a 40-yard field goal when 4th and 15 came up. That field goal went wide left, and the Crusaders were able to run the remaining 4:27 off the clock by slowly and methodically advancing the ball up the field. In the first half, the Bison scored two unanswered touchdowns, both in the second quarter’s first five minutes. Their first scoring drive, which began in the first quarter’s waning minutes, was sparked by Simeon Page, who blocked and recovered a punt at the Holy Cross 38. Freshnock capped the abbreviated drive, which was extended by Bitikofer’s 14-yard rush on a 3rd and 5, with a two-yard touchdown rush up the middle. After the teams traded truncated drives, the Crusaders covered 23 yards in three-straight Cozier rushes to advance to their 45. Two plays later, Van Itallie stepped in front of a Degenhardt pass and returned it 48 yards up the visiting-team sideline for his first career pick 6. The Holy Cross offense, which the Bucknell defense stymied for long stretches of the first half, put together a 12-play, 92-yard scoring drive following Van Itallie’s pick 6. The Crusaders converted on three-straight 3rd and longs before Degenhardt found a wide-open Derek Mountain for a 33-yard touchdown with 6:52 remaining before the break. After forcing Bucknell to go three and out on its next possession, Holy Cross got the ball back with 4:28 left to play in the half. The Crusaders proceeded to cover 70 yards in seven plays, with Degenhardt capping the drive with a one-yard touchdown rush. Highlights of that drive included a 27-yard pass from Degenhardt to Asante and three rushes by Cozier that covered at least eight yards. Degenhardt’s touchdown rush sent the teams into the intermission locked in a 14-14 stalemate. The Crusaders held leads in total offense (282-121), first downs (14-7) and time of possession (16:45-13:15) at that point in the contest). They also held the Bison to 1-for-6 on third-down conversions while going 4-for-8 themselves. Bucknell appeared poised to put points on the board in the opening minutes of the third quarter. Bitikofer led the Bison from their own 19 to Holy Cross’s 20, completing three passes for 26 yards; in addition, Freshnock rushed twice for 16 drives, and the Crusaders were assessed two personal-foul penalties. Holy Cross ultimately held fast, forcing Bucknell to attempt a 37-yard field goal; that field goal was blocked by Kevin Bucceroni and recovered by Grant Holloman, giving the Crusaders the ball back at their own 39. And Holy Cross would score what proved to be the game-winning touchdown on that drive. The Crusaders rattled off two third-down conversions, the first on a one-yard Degenhardt rush and the second on a 45-yard Degenhardt pass to Gilliam that was found a single yard short of a touchdown after a video review. Degenhardt ultimately capped the drive with his second rushing touchdown, going up the middle for the score. Two possessions later, Bucknell took over near midfield after a strong defensive stand forced Holy Cross to punt out of its end zone. After Alex Barnard brought the Bison into Crusader territory with a six-yard rush, Bitikofer found Sanders for an eight-yard gain to the 38-yard line; Sanders, who wa s hit hard, ultimately fumbled the ball, and Corey Stefanik pounced on it to cut short a promising Bucknell drive. Holy Cross held advantages in total offense (394-297), time of possession (31:19-28:41) and first downs (20-16). The Bison took an uncharacteristic six penalties, which cost them 55 yards; the Crusaders were also bit with the penalty bug, ceding 82 yards on nine penalties. Holy Cross converted on 8-of-16 third downs compared to Bucknell’s 5-of-14. The Bison defense had its strongest game of the season, posting four sacks for a loss of 18 yards and seven tackles for a loss of 22 yards. Gavin Pringle and Rick Mottram tied Holy Cross’s Chris Riley for the game-high with nine tackles; Pringle also matched his career high with a game-best three pass breakups.

GAME NOTES • Entering the contest, Colgate had won five-straight games over Bucknell. The Bison last downed the Raiders on Nov. 2, 2013, a 28-7 victory at Andy Kerr Stadium. • LB Simeon Page cracked Bucknell’s top-10 in career sacks; his three sacks gave him 18.5 in his career, good for seventh in the Bison annals. • Page’s fumble return for a touchdown was Bucknell’s first since the 2017 opener against Marist, when DL Blake Fletcher pounced on a fumble forced by DL Nick Zarkoski in the end zone. • S Brandon Benson made his 150th career tackle. • With eight points on two field goals and two extra points, P/K Alex Pechin matched his career high set in the 2016 opener at Marist; his two field goals also equaled his career high, set in that same game. • WR Brandon Sanders’s touchdown catch was the first of his career; he previously scored a four-yard rushing touchdown against Sacred Heart on Sept. 8, 2018. • The Bison had a pass fall incomplete on a two-point conversion following Sanders’s touchdown catch and an extra-point attempt blocked after Page’s touchdown. • Bucknell’s victory was its first since a 19-16 win at Holy Cross on Sept. 29, 2018; it halted a school-record 11-game losing skid.

The Bucknell football team toppled Colgate, 32-14, on a drizzly Saturday afternoon at Andy Kerr Stadium. Bolstered by a strong defensive performance and a pair of touchdowns by freshman Alex Barnard, the Bison downed the defending Patriot League champion Raiders for the first time since 2013. The victory was also the first of head coach Dave Cecchini’s tenure at Bucknell. Logan Bitikofer orchestrated a Bison offense that posted 359 yards of total offense, completing 18 of 29 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns. Dominic Lyles (81), Brandon Sanders (64) and Jared Cooper (51) all surpassed 50 receiving yards while Cooper added a game-best 76 rushing yards on 21 carries. Defensively, Bucknell was paced by Simeon Page, who filled the stat sheet with six tackles, three sacks for a loss of 21 yards and two pass breakups; Page also returned a fumble for a touchdown that put an exclamation mark on the Bison’s commanding victory with 44 seconds remaining. In addition, Rick Mottram made a game-best nine tackles while Roger Mellado registered two sacks, one of which was the strip sack that led to Page’s touchdown. “When it was time to make plays, we stepped up and made plays,” Cecchini said. “I’ll give our team all the credit in the world. They do not quit. They keep fighting. Without fail, they’ve embraced the changes we’ve been making. It was a hard lesson to lose a 14-point lead last week against Holy Cross, but we were a better team for it today in Hamilton, New York. When adversity struck, we answered the call this time.” The Bison (1-5, 1-1 PL) raced out to an early 14-0 lead, with Barnard finding the end zone on their first two possessions. Both of Bucknell’s scoring drives covered more than 75 yards. During the first, Cooper accounted for 43 yards, posting 32 on five carries and 11 on the first reception of the game. The highlight of the second drive was Steven Walier’s one-handed grab on a Bitikofer deep ball down the visiting sideline; Walier’s acrobatic catch netted the Bison 41 yards to the Colgate 17. Barnard’s first touchdown, a 13-yard catch, came at the first quarter’s 11:12 mark. His second, a 16-yard scamper on a 3rd and 9, came with 6:17 left to play in the opening frame. They were the first two touchdowns of his collegiate career; entering the game, the freshman owned 53 yards on 10 carries and 11 yards on two receptions. The Raiders (0-7, 0-2 PL) got one back at the first quarter’s 2:01 mark, taking advantage of a short field following a Bucknell fumble during a punt return. A 13-yard Malik Twyman touchdown rush capped the abbreviated drive, which covered 22 yards in three plays. Handling kicking duties for the first time since his sophomore year, All-American punter Alex Pechin booted two field goals in the second quarter to extend the Bison’s advantage to 20-7. His first, a 38 yarder, came with 6:17 on the clock; he kicked his second, a 29 yarder, with 20 seconds remaining before the break. During each of those drives, Bitikofer completed a 30-yard pass, first to Cooper (30) and then to Sanders (31); the second scoring drive started when the defense stopped Colgate on a 4th and 3 at midfield. Bucknell’s offense and defense were both clicking in the first half. Through the first 30 minutes, the Bison held significant advantages in total offense (258-127), first downs (14-5) and third-down conversions (4-of-8 to 1-of-6). They posted four sacks, including an emphatic bring down by Sean Naiman in the first half’s dying seconds; the senior’s first career sack fired up his teammates going into the locker room. Colgate put together a scoring drive on its first possession of the third quarter, covering 74 yards in nine plays. With its lead trimmed to 20-14, Bucknell immediately responded with a scoring drive of its own. That drive was extended by Pechin, who faked a punt and ran for 12 yards on a 4th and 1 at midfield. A 20-yard reception by Lyles followed by a Raider pass interference penalty during a trick play brought the Bison to the red zone; Sanders outleaped his defender to haul in a 13-yard touchdown pass to cap the eight-play, 61-yard drive. Beginning at the fourth quarter’s 12:25 mark, the Raiders began to march down the field, advancing as far as the Bison’s six-yard line. But the Bucknell defense held fast, not yielding a score. After Grant Breneman’s pass fell incomplete on 1st and goal, Page stuffed Twyman a yard short of the line of scrimmage. Then, Gerrit Van Itallie sacked Breneman for a critical loss of 14 yards. On 4th and goal, Page broke up a Breneman pass to give his team the ball back with 5:43 on the clock. After Bucknell was forced to punt with 50 seconds remaining, Mellado stripped Breneman of the ball at Colgate’s six-yard line. Page scooped up the ball at the 12-yard line and scampered into the end zone, causing the Bison sideline and fan section to erupt in celebration. Bucknell finished with advantages in total offense (359-305), first downs (22-19) and third-down conversions (6-of-14 to 2-of-12). Overall, the defense totaled eight sacks for a loss of 51 yards and 11 tackles for a loss of 54 yards.

GAME NOTES • Towson was No. 20 in the AFCA FCS Coaches Poll and No. 18 in the STATS FCS Top 25 this week. The Tigers, who were ranked in the top 10 from week two to week seven, have been slotted as high as fifth. • This was the first meeting between the Bison and Tigers since 2003, Towson’s final year as an affiliate member of the Patriot League. The Tigers took a 9-8 lead in the all-time series. • QB Logan Bitikofer surpassed 1,000 passing yards on the season; at the conclusion of the game, he had 1,005. • S Conner Romango and LB Rick Mottram each exceeded 50 tackles on the season; at the conclusion of the game, each had 53. • Freshman LB Ben Allen registered his first career sack, which went for a loss of eight yards and forced Towson to punt in the first quarter. • S Brent Jackson, who started at free safety, became the fourth freshman to start in 2019, joining WR Connor Holmes, CB Gavin Pringle and OL Zack Tarburton. • Bucknell’s non-conference schedule in 2019 was grueling; the Bison faced three nationally ranked FCS squads (then No. 23/22 Villanova, then No. 23/ RV Princeton and then No. 20/18 Towson) and an FBS team (Temple) that recently cracked the national rankings in its division.

No. 20/18 Towson dispatched the Bucknell football team, 56-7, at Johnny Unitas Stadium. The explosive Tigers, the Bison’s third ranked opponent of the 2019 campaign, used record-setting performances by quarterback Tom Flacco and wide receiver Shane Leatherbury to cruise to their victory. “Towson is a very good football team,” said head coach Dave Cecchini. “To be successful, we had to have a good start, and that didn’t happen. Towson was explosive and took advantage of our mistakes. From here on out, with it being Patriot League play, every game is an elimination game. We have to recover from this and turn our attention to correcting our mistakes.” At halftime, Towson (4-3, 1-2 CAA) held a sizable 42-7 advantage. Flacco threw for all of his touchdowns in the first half, connecting five times with Leatherbury. Though D’Ago Hunter opened the second half by returning the first kickoff 92 yards for a score, Bucknell (1-6, 1-1 PL) held the Tigers to a single touchdown the rest of the way. The Bison’s touchdown, a three-yard scamper by Jared Cooper at the second quarter’s 8:25 mark, was set up by Dominic Lyles’s 52-yard reception. After taking a screen pass from Logan Bitikofer on a 3rd and 8, Lyles broke two tackles en route to the Towson 21. The Tigers finished the game with edges in total yards (560-161), first downs (28-8) and time of possession (35:27-24:33). They limited the Bison to just six rushing yards over the course of the contest, bolstered by making eight tackles for a loss of 31 yards. For Bucknell, Bitikofer and John Chiarolanzio combined for 155 passing yards. Lyles led all Bison receivers with 52 yards on his single reception while Brandon Sanders added 37 on a team-best five catches. Defensively, Conner Romango paced all players with 10 tackles, nine of which were solo stops. Gerrit Van Itallie added nine tackles while Brent Jackson made seven in his first career start. All-American punter Alex Pechin had an impressive game, averaging 50.7 yards on a career-best 11 punts. He had six sail for at least 50 yards and four land inside the 20. His previous career high in punts was 10, set in the 2017 finale at Fordham. For Towson, Flacco completed 16 of 22 passes for 203 yards and a school-record six touchdowns; notably, Flacco played only one series in the second half, with three other Tigers seeing action at quarterback. Leatherbury made six catches for 84 yards and a school-record five touchdowns. Towson’s ground game paved the way for its success; Yeedee Thaenrat (112) and Adrian Feliz-Platt (101) reached the triple digits in rushing yards, helping their team build a 328-6 advantage in that statistical category.

GAME NOTES • This was RB Jared Cooper’s first career 100-yard rushing performance. He became the first Bison to reach the triple digits in rushing yards in a single game since RB Chad Freshnock ran for 174 against Lehigh on Nov. 4, 2017. • WR Brandon Sanders became the sixth Bison to catch at least 50 passes in a single season, joining WRs Will Carter (2x), Dave Kucera (2x), Tom Mitchell (2x), Jim Horan and Shaun Pasternak. With 52, he stands eighth in school history with three games left to play. • Sanders became the first Bison to catch two touchdown passes in a single game since TE Andrew Owers did so against Lafayette on Oct. 20, 2018. • LBs Rick Mottram and Gerrit Van Itallie each made his 100th career tackle. • Mottram eclipsed his previous career high of 14 tackles, set in the 2018 finale against Fordham. He became the first Bison to make at least 15 tackles in a single game since S Benson made 15 against Monmouth on Sept. 30, 2017. • Van Itallie became the third Bison to reach 50 tackles on the season, joining Mottram and S Conner Romango. • With his sack, LB Simeon Page moved to fifth in Bison history with 19.5. The junior finished the game needing a half sack to become the fifth Bison with at least 20 in his career.

Lafayette scored two unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter to down the Bucknell football team, 21-17, at Fisher Stadium. After Keegan Shoemaker found Nick Pearson for a 43-yard touchdown, the Leopards forced a turnover on the Bison’s very next drive. Four plays later, Selwyn Simpson rushed for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown. For the Bison, Logan Bitikofer completed two touchdown throws to Brandon Sanders while Jared Cooper rushed for a career-high 103 yards on 15 carries. Birthday boy Rick Mottram paced a strong defensive effort, making a career-best 16 tackles (12 solo), posting two sacks and picking off his second career pass. “We win as a team, and we lose as a team,” said head coach Dave Cecchini. “Unfortunately, we lost as a team today. We had failures in the second half. All of the little things went out the window in the fourth quarter. Hats off to Lafayette for making the plays that they did to get back in this ball game. This was a game, with the opportunities that we had, that we should have walked away with a win. But we didn’t do that.” Both teams scored on their first drive of the game. Lafayette’s march down the field was methodical, covering 70 yards in 11 plays and draining 5:45 from the clock. Bucknell’s, in contrast, covered 75 yards in five plays and less than two minutes. On the second play of the Bison’s first scoring drive, Cooper found a seam and rumbled 40 yards into Leopard territory. After Cooper picked up another two yards, Bitikofer connected with Sanders for a 17-yard gain and for a 16-yard touchdown on back-to-back plays. Bucknell took its first lead of the contest at the second quarter’s 3:23 mark. After a short punt, the Bison gained possession at their 47-yard line. On the first play of that drive, Cooper broke free for a 17-yard gain. The seven-play, 53-yard scoring drive was capped by Bitikofer’s second touchdown throw to Sanders, that one a 13-yard score. During the first half, Bucknell twice had a short field to work with but came away with nothing. Late in the first quarter, Simeon Page forced a fumble that Sean Naiman recovered at the Bison 42. While Bucknell advanced to the Lafayette 21, with Cooper making a leaping play to come up with a 24-yard Bitikofer pass early in that drive, a 39-yard field goal ultimately sailed wide left. With 13:33 on the clock in the second quarter, a shanked punt gave the Bison the ball at the Leopard 40. Lafayette’s defense held fast at first, but Bucknell extended its drive by faking a 49-yard field goal; Alex Pechin hit Naiman with a four-yard pass to pick up a first down on 4th and 2. The Leopards ultimately forced the Bison to attempt a 26-yard field goal, which went wide right. Bucknell extended its lead to 17-7 at the third quarter’s 7:07 mark on a 28-yard Ethan Torres field goal. Torres’s field goal capped a 10-play, 59-yard drive highlighted by 23- and 31-yard receptions by Dominic Lyles that brought the Bison from their end to Lafayette’s in short succession. On 3rd and goal, Sanders nearly hauled in his third touchdown catch on a fade route, but his feet touched down just out of bounds. The Leopards cut Bucknell’s lead to 17-14 with 11:10 on the clock in the fourth quarter. After the Bison failed to take advantage of Mottram’s interception, which gave them the ball at the Lafayette 35, the Leopards got the ball at their own five-yard line following a short punt. Shoemaker proceeded to engineer a seven-play, 95-yard scoring drive, completing three passes for 70 yards and running for 10 yards. That drive was capped by Pearson’s 43-yard touchdown, which came on a deep ball down the middle of the field. On Bucknell’s next drive, Marco Olivas forced a fumble that was recovered by Yasir Thomas at the Bison 45. Four rushing plays later, Lafayette was back in the end zone. Simpson’s 22-yard touchdown rush decided the game as the Leopards didn’t allow the Bison to advance past midfield on their final two drives of the game. For Bucknell (1-7, 1-2 PL), Bitikofer completed 17 of 33 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns. Sanders totaled 66 yards on a game-high eight receptions while Lyles added 57 on three catches. Beyond Mottram, Brandon Benson had a strong game defensively, making 10 tackles. For Lafayette (1-7, 1-1 PL), Shoemaker completed 23 of 27 passes for 207 yards; he also ran for 47 yards on 12 carries. Pearson caught six passes for 95 yards while Zadok Scott added 51 on six receptions. On the ground, Simpson posted 68 yards on nine carries. Major Jordan made 14 tackles while Olivas added two sacks to his forced fumble. The Leopards finished with advantages in total offense (369-287), first downs (20-18) and time of possession (33:48-26:12). They snapped a two-game home losing skid to the Bison.

GAME NOTES • LBs Rick Mottram, Simeon Page and Gerrit Van Itallie combined for 22 tackles, six tackles for a loss and four sacks. • Page became the fifth Bison to post at least 20 career sacks, joining Dave Hibbard (25.5, 1978-80), Ed Burman (25.5, 1993-95), Joe Massey (22.5, 1999-2002) and Pete Mauritz (22, 1978-80). He finished the game with 21.5. • S Brent Jackson’s critical 3rd and goal sack was the first of his career; it was also his first career tackle for a loss. • WRs John McGuire and Stefone Moore-Green’s touchdown catches were also career-long receptions. • QB Logan Bitikofer threw two touchdown passes for the second-straight game and for the fourth time this season. • WR Brandon Sanders’s three catches brought his season total to 55, good for seventh in school history. He also went above 500 receiving yards on the year. • Bucknell snapped a four-game losing streak to Lehigh. Entering the game, the Mountain Hawks had won eight of their past 10 meetings with the Bison; during that stretch, Bucknell’s victories came in 2013 (48-10) and 2014 (45-24). • The Bison also halted an eightgame home losing slide. Their last win at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium was on Nov. 11, 2017, a 12-0 Senior Day shutout of Georgetown.

A suffocating defensive performance propelled the Bucknell football team to a 20-10 victory over rival Lehigh on a frigid Saturday at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Bolstered by seven sacks for a loss of 52 yards, the Bison held the Mountain Hawks to -6 rushing yards in a full 60 minutes of action. Six different Bison posted a sack, with Simeon Page registering two for a loss of 14 yards to go along with his six solo tackles and three quarterback hurries. Bucknell’s linebackers paved the way defensively throughout the game. Beyond Page, Rick Mottram reached the double digits in tackles for the second-straight game, logging a team-best 10, while Gerrit Van Itallie filled the stat sheet with six tackles, 2.5 of which went for a loss, and a fumble recovery that halted Lehigh’s final drive of the game. Offensively, Logan Bitikofer threw touchdown passes to Stefone Moore-Green and John McGuire to help head coach Dave Cecchini earn his first home win over his alma mater. In addition, Tyler Keiser, a senior walkon who graduated from nearby Southern Columbia High School, booted the first two field goals of his career. “The bottom line is, when our guys needed to make a play, they made the play time and time again,” Cecchini said. “That made the difference. Hopefully, this win will help us gain a little bit of confidence so we can be able to make plays over the last two weeks of the season.” At halftime, the Bison (2-7, 2-2 PL) held a 10-3 lead over the Mountain Hawks (4-5, 3-2 PL), who entered the game second in the Patriot League standings. They opened the scoring at the second quarter’s 11:45 mark on a 20-yard Keiser field goal; Keiser’s first career field goal capped a 13-play, 50-yard drive that saw Jared Cooper run for 31 yards on four carries. On a 3rd and 6 at the Lehigh 26, Bitikofer kept the drive alive by scrambling for an eight-yard gain. Bucknell extended its advantage to 10-0 with 4:23 on the clock in the second frame. Moore-Green’s first career touchdown, a 24-yard grab down the visiting sideline, put an exclamation mark an explosive six-play, 73-yard drive. During that drive, Bitikofer completed three passes of at least 10 yards and ran for a 10-yard gain the play before his touchdown throw to Moore-Green. The Mountain Hawks advanced into Bison territory just once in the first half. They came away with a 33-yard field goal, which trimmed Bucknell’s lead to 10-3 with 47 seconds left. Lehigh started that drive at the Bison 20 following a 26-yard Riley O’Neil interception return and a Bucknell penalty; the Bison defense ultimately held fast, forcing Lehigh to settle for a field goal. During the first half, Bucknell limited the Mountain Hawks to just 66 yards of total offense, all of which came through the air. The Bison’s suffocating defense was led by Mottram, who totaled six tackles, and Page, who posted five tackles and a sack. Van Itallie also had a sack that forced a Lehigh punt in that frame. After forcing Bucknell to go three and out on its first drive of the second half, the Mountain Hawks began to march down the field. Starting at their 30-yard line, they advanced as far as the Bison three-yard line. Bucknell came up with a critical goal-line stand, with Van Itallie and Grayson Cherubino teaming for a sack on 1st and goal and Brent Jackson coming up with a sack for a loss of nine yards on 3rd and goal. Lehigh ultimately had a 31-yard field goal bid go wide left, keeping the Bison’s lead at 10-3. A shanked punt gave Bucknell the ball at the Mountain Hawk 30 with 4:07 on the clock in the third quarter. Four plays later, the Bison were in the end zone; McGuire made a one-handed grab to come up with a 19-yard Bitikofer touchdown catch. The Bison made it a three-score game with 9:23 left to play in regulation on a 21-yard Keiser field goal. The Mountain Hawks scored their only touchdown of the game less than three minutes later, with Alec Beesmer’s two-yard touchdown throw to Devon Bibbens capping a nine-play, 76-yard scoring drive aided by four Bucknell penalties. The Bison forced Lehigh to go three and out on its next possession. The Mountain Hawks got the ball back for one last drive with 1:44 remaining in regulation. While Beesmer led Lehigh from its 12 to Bucknell’s 43, Joe Schiano came up with a strip sack; Van Itallie pounced on the ball to seal the victory. Bitikofer completed 23 of 39 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns. McGuire set a new career high with 73 receiving yards while Chad Freshnock (64) and Jared Cooper (44) each surpassed 40 yards on the ground. With two field goals and two extra points, Keiser posted eight points in his collegiate debut. Brandon Benson intercepted a pass while Gavin Pringle broke up two. Pringle and Cherubino finished behind Bucknell’s standout linebackers with five tackles apiece. For Lehigh, Pete Haffner had a strong game defensively, logging 16 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble. Keith Woetzel also reached the double digits in tackles, making 11. Three different Mountain Hawks saw action at quarterback, combining for 215 yards on 26 of 42 passing. Bibbens was Lehigh’s offensive spark, making 11 catches for 92 yards. Jorge Portorreal logged 87 all-purpose yards, with 37 coming on receptions and 46 coming on kickoff returns. Overall, Bucknell held advantages in total offense (305-209), first downs (19-15) and time of possession (32:02-27:58).

GAME NOTES • The Bison emerged victorious when they trailed at the end of the third quarter for the first time since Oct. 8, 2016, a 21-20 comeback victory at Holy Cross. They had lost their previous 19 games in which they trailed entering the final frame. • LB Rick Mottram reached the double digits in tackles for the third-straight game and for the fifth time this season. • LB Gerrit Van Itallie set career highs in tackles (11), pass breakups (2) and fumble recoveries (2); he posted three fumble recoveries in Bucknell’s past two games. • S Brandon Benson finished one tackle shy of his career high set during the 2017 Monmouth game.

The Bucknell football team scored two unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter to edge Georgetown, 20-17, at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Trailing 17-6 at the end of the first three frames, the Bison found the end zone on back-to-back possessions to send their senior class out with a victory. Bucknell’s first touchdown, a three-yard rushing score by Chad Freshnock, was set up by Brent Jackson recovering a punt blocked by Simeon Page deep in the Hoya end; the go-ahead touchdown came on a 45-yard pass from Logan Bitikofer to Dominic Lyles down the home sideline. Bitikofer gave Bucknell a three-point cushion by finding Dylan DeMarco for a two-point conversion following his touchdown throw to Lyles. The Hoyas, who had one drive end in a Conner Romango interception and one drive end in a punt, got the ball back with 21 seconds left to play after the Bison chewed 4:47 off the clock with a 10-play drive highlighted by a 32-yard Freshnock rumble on 3rd and 6. As was the case in Bucknell’s victory over rival Lehigh, Gerrit Van Itallie iced the game by recovering a fumble, this one forced by Gavin Pringle. “It’s great to win a fourth quarter as completely as we did,” said head coach Dave Cecchini. “I’ve got to give Georgetown a lot of credit. They have an outstanding defense, and they’re very well-coached. But our players dug down deep, and our defense set the tone from start to finish. The offense made plays when we needed to, and the special teams made plays to help us as well. In the end, that turnover margin was what put us over the top.” The Bucknell defense again set the tone, forcing four turnovers and posting three sacks for a loss of 27 yards and 10 tackles for a loss of 41 yards. Brandon Benson (14), Rick Mottram (12) and Van Itallie (11) all reached the double digits in tackles, with Van Itallie recovering two fumbles. Four different Bison posted a sack and eight made at least one tackle for a loss, with Nnamdi Unachukwu accounting for two. Offensively, Bucknell stepped up in the fourth quarter, recording 146 of its 236 yards of total offense during that frame. Bitikofer completed three of four passes for 74 yards, highlighted by his touchdown throw to Lyles. Freshnock ran for 69 of his 92 yards in the fourth quarter; he played a key role in helping the Bison chew up time on its final offensive drive of the contest. At halftime, the Hoyas held a slim 10-6 lead. They opened the scoring at the first quarter’s 5:01 mark, with Gunther Johnson completing a three-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Tomas to cap a six-play, 39-yard scoring drive. Georgetown successfully recovered an on-side kick to get the ball right back. But Unachukwu stripped a Hoya ball carrier of the ball on the third play of that drive; Pringle picked it up and raced 55 yards to the end zone. A blocked extra point made it a 7-6 game in Georgetown’s favor. The Hoyas extended their lead with a 23-yard Brad Hurst field goal at the second quarter’s 14:05 mark. The Bison defense held fast after Joseph Brunell found Michael Dereus for a 26-yard gain to their nine-yard line; during that sequence, Brunell had two passes fall incomplete, and Mottram tied up Joshua Stakely short of the end zone. With 2:39 left to play in the second quarter, Georgetown had a seven-yard touchdown pass by Brunell called back due to offensive pass interference. Forced to replay third and goal, Brunell was flushed out of the pocket and ultimately called for an intentional grounding penalty that pushed the Hoyas back to the Bucknell 35. Georgetown proceeded to punt, giving the Bison the ball with 2:26 on the clock. Georgetown’s suffocating defense stymied the Bucknell offense for the majority of the first half. The Hoyas held a 209-37 advantage in total offense at the break; all but one of the Bison’s yards came on the ground. Georgetown extended its lead to 17-6 at the third quarter’s 8:27 mark. Stakely’s 15-yard touchdown rush capped a six-play, 39-yard drive that began when Jonathan Honore intercepted a pass and returned it 15 yards to the Bucknell 39. While the Bison advanced to the red zone once during that frame, they ultimately turned the ball over on downs at the Georgetown 14. Bucknell cut the Hoyas’ advantage to 17-12 at the fourth quarter’s 13:48 mark. After Jackson recovered the blocked punt at the Georgetown 18, Bitikofer completed a 16-yard pass to Connor Holmes to bring up 1st and goal at the two. Two plays later, the Bison were in the end zone, with Freshnock scampering for a three-yard score. Bucknell had a pass fall incomplete on its two-point conversion attempt, keeping the score at 17-12. After the Bison defense forced the Hoyas to go three and out on their next drive, Bitikofer engineered a five-play, 73-yard scoring drive. Bitikofer found John McGuire for a 13-yard gain while Freshnock scampered for a 15-yard gain to set up what proved to be the game-winning touchdown. Bitikofer finished the game with 102 yards and one touchdown on nine for 19 passing. Freshnock (92) and Cooper (44) each surpassed 40 rushing yards while Lyles posted 61 yards on three catches. Stefone MooreGreen made an impact on kickoff returns, returning two for 73 yards. Georgetown finished with advantages in first downs (23-14), total offense (362-236) and time of possession (35:04-24:56). Johnson and Brunell split time at quarterback, combining for 199 yards on 20 for 34 passing. Stakely was a force on the ground, amassing 139 yards on 28 carries. Tomas (83) and Dereus (55) each surpassed 50 receiving yards.

GAME NOTES • The Bison took third in the Patriot League, their highest placement since they were the 2014 runners-up. • Bolstered by their big second half, the Rams held advantages in total offense (279-259), first downs (21-18) and time of possession (32:54-27:06). • P Alex Pechin finished the season with a 47.3 punting average, a new Patriot League record and a figure good for seventh in FCS history. • QB Logan Bitikofer attempted 50 passes, the fourth-highest total in Bucknell history. He finished 2019 ranked eighth in the program annals in both single-season completions (175) and single-season passing attempts (305). • LB Rick Mottram led the Bison with 11 tackles. He reached the double digits in tackles for the fourth-straight game and sixth time overall in 2019. • Mottram wrapped up the season with 102 tackles. He became the first Bison since 2014 to reach the century mark in tackles during a single campaign. • LB Gerrit Van Itallie set new career highs in tackles for a loss (4) and sacks (2); with 10 tackles, he finished one shy of his career-best total set the week before against Georgetown.

The Bucknell football team dropped a 31-14 decision to Fordham at Jack Coffey Field in the 2019 finale for both teams. The Rams scored three unanswered touchdowns in the second half to down the Bison. Bucknell wrapped up the season, its first under head coach Dave Cecchini, tied for third in the Patriot League standings with a 3-3 record. This is the first time since 2014 the Bison finished in the Patriot League’s top three. “There are a lot of positive things to take away from this season,” Cecchini said. “We started the season pretty much unanimously picked to finish last in the Patriot League and finished 3-3. In the three games we lost, we had a lead and couldn’t hold it together. We’re close, and we’re bringing everyone back next year. There’s going to be a ton of carryover offensively and defensively. We’ve got a long off-season here to continue to work to get bigger, stronger and faster. It’s a shame we didn’t play our best football game at the end, but we’re on the right track to where we want to be in the future.” Down 14-10 at halftime, Fordham regained the lead thanks to a 17-play, 99-yard scoring drive that chewed 7:01 off the clock in the third quarter. The Rams then tacked on two touchdowns in the fourth quarter’s final six minutes to bring the final score to 31-14. Bucknell’s defense accounted for both touchdowns: a Rick Mottram fumble return and a Micah Dennis interception return that took place in a 30-second span during the final two minutes of the first half. Gerrit Van Itallie had a big game, posting 10 tackles, four of which went for a loss of 17 yards, two sacks and two pass breakups. Mottram reached the double digits in tackles for the fourth-straight game, finishing with a game-best 11 to become the first Bison to eclipse 100 in a single season since 2014. In total, Bucknell’s defense posted seven sacks for a loss of 51 yards and 14 tackles for a loss of 85 yards. Van Itallie was one of three Bison who made at least three tackles for a loss, joining Grayson Cherubino (three for a loss of 31 yards) and Sean Naiman (three for a loss of 10 yards). Cherubino’s three tackles for a loss were all sacks; both Cherubino and Naiman also forced a fumble over the course of the contest. Offensively, Logan Bitikofer completed 28 of 50 passes for 250 yards; he became the first Bison to attempt at least 50 passes since 2001. His favorite target was John McGuire, who caught seven passes for 65 yards. In his final collegiate game, Chad Freshnock led Bucknell on the ground with 66 yards on 10 carries. Fordham took a 7-0 lead at the first quarter’s 2:03 mark on a three-yard Tim DeMorat touchdown. That 12-play, 61-yard drive began after the Rams blocked a 38-yard field goal attempt; it was extended after the Bison took a roughing the kicker penalty on 4th and 8. That penalty brought up 4th and 3 at the Bucknell 43; DeMorat proceeded to complete a 12-yard pass to DeQuece Carter to keep the drive alive. The Bison had a promising drive, which was highlighted by a 33-yard Dominic Lyles gain, stalled at the Fordham 39 following a fumble. The Rams proceed to advance as far as the Bucknell 23; a sack by Van Itallie on 3rd and 5 forced them to settle for a 44-yard field goal that extended their lead to 10-0. After scoring two defensive touchdowns in a 30-second span during the final two minutes of the half, Bucknell carried a 14-10 lead into the intermission. The flurry started when Mottram returned a fumble forced by Cherubino for a five-yard touchdown with exactly two minutes on the clock. Then, 30 seconds later, Dennis returned an interception 39 yards for a touchdown; he broke two tackles and leapt over a fallen teammate en route to his first career pick 6. Defense was the story of the first half. Bucknell held a 181-50 edge in total offense; the Bison were bolstered by five sacks, which helped them hold the Rams to -39 rushing yards. Of Bucknell’s 181 yards of total offense, 159 came on 16 of 29 passing from Bitikofer. “The defense probably played its best half of football,” Cecchini said. “In the first half, they were amazing. This Fordham offense is clearly the most talented we’ve seen in the Patriot League, and giving up the 99-yard touchdown drive was the turning point. They were solid in the second half, but they really gave us the momentum in the first half.” The Rams outgained the Bison, 229-78, in the second half. Their go-ahead touchdown came at the third quarter’s 3:17 mark. A one-yard Trey Sneed touchdown capped that 99-yard scoring drive; Bucknell All-American punter Alex Pechin pinned the Rams at their own one-yard like with a 70-yard bomb, matching his second-longest punt of his prestigious career.

ABOUT THE PL >> 2021 SPRING AWARDS Who We Are

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH 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 30-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

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH 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 136th season in 2021. Scores of marvelous players have donned the Orange and Blue over the course of the 135 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.

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.

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 (right) 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.

2019

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.

In his first season as head coach, Dave Cecchini led the Bison to a third-place finish in the Patriot League, their highest placement since they were the 2014 runners-up. Their Patriot League victories came over defending champion Colgate, rival Lehigh and Georgetown; two of their three league losses came by a touchdown or less. Two-time captain Alex Pechin (left with Cecchini at the STATS FCS Awards Banquet) capped his decorated career by becoming the 14th consensus All-American in Patriot League history, being named the inaugural FCS Punter of the Year and capturing the FCS Doris Robinson Scholar-Athlete Award, which is presented to a student-athlete who excels not only in the classroom but in the community and beyond. At the time of his graduation, Pechin ranked fifth in FCS history in career punting average (44.5) and seventh in single-season punting average (47.3); he was named to a staggering 15 All-America teams over the course of his decorated career.

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH 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 6-2-1 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

1895 TEAM 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 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

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. In 2006, Landis helped orchestrate an impressive turnaround as the Bison equaled the program record by posting a five-win improvement from the year before. Bucknell finished with a record of at least .500 for the third time in Landis’ tenure as it alternated wins and losses the entire season for a 6-5 mark. The final game of the 2007 season, an impressive 38-24 win over Patriot League champion Fordham, served as a springboard toward an improved 2008 campaign for the Bison, who finished 5-6, a two-win improvement over the previous season. Former Bucknell assistant coach (1981-90) Joe Susan took over the Bison in 2010. In 2011, he led Bucknell to a 6-5 record, a school record-tying five-win improvement from the previous fall. In 2013, Susan once again guided the Bison to a 6-5 record with a 48-10 Homecoming victory over Lehigh, a road win at Colgate and a narrow loss to undefeated and top-10 ranked Fordham highlighting the season that featured Bucknell winning five of its final six contests. 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 began a new era in 2019 as Dave Cecchini took the reigns of the program as its 27th head coach. In his first season at the helm, Cecchini led the Bison to a third-place finish in the Patriot League, their highest placement since they were the 2014 runners-up. Cecchini’s offense set school records in completions (229) and passing attempts (426). All-Patriot League First Team wide receiver Brandon Sanders became the sixth Bison to make at least 50 catches in a single campaign while quarterback Logan Bitikofer cracked Bucknell’s top 10 in single-season completions (8th, 175) and single-season passing attempts (t-8th, 305). 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.

<<<< 2021 BISON << 2021 SPRING IN REVIEW << 2019 IN REVIEW << PATRIOT LEAGUE << HISTORY & RECORDS << GENERAL INFORMATION <<<<

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 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 gametime 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.

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 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

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

Seven alumni representing seven different teams have been elected to the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame and will be enshrined as part of the 43rd induction class. This is Bucknell’s first Hall of Fame class to feature as many as four women. Three women were inducted on eight previous occasions. 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 284 the number of outstanding student-athletes, coaches, administrators and friends of Bucknell whose contributions are forever preserved in the Hall of Fame. JULIA DIAZ ‘95 becomes the second Bison women’s tennis player to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame, and the first who focused solely on the sport of tennis. Majorie Deck ‘73 was inducted in 1989, but Deck also starred in field hockey and basketball, in addition to tennis. Diaz was a two-year captain and one of the most successful players in Bison women’s tennis history. She compiled career records of 34-11 in singles and 26-6 in doubles, and her singles mark was far and away the best in team history for a No. 1 player in the lineup at that time. Diaz’s career totals might have climbed even higher had she not missed her entire junior year due to a knee injury suffered in preseason training. Her .779 career winning percentage is one of the best in team history and is all the more impressive considering that she played in the No. 1 position in the lineup from her freshman year on. A native of Lutherville, Md., and a graduate of McDonogh School, Diaz played on teams that compiled a 49-8 record in dual matches (43-3 in the three seasons in which she was not injured), and she helped lead the Bison to Patriot League team championships in 1992 and 1994 under Hall-of-Fame coach Rose Ewan. From early in the 1991 season until midway through the 1992 campaign, Bucknell established a

JULIA DIAZ

JENNY SNYDER school record with 25 consecutive victories, all with Diaz playing in the No. 1 singles position. She was an All-Patriot League selection in doubles in 1993-94 and was the only Bucknell player named to the Patriot League All-Decade Team in 2001. Diaz was the co-winner of the Christy Mathewson Award along with Lisa Gibbons (soccer) and Tameka Hinton (track and field), both of whom are also enshrined in the Hall of Fame. JENNY SNYDER ‘99 is one of the most decorated players in the history of the Bucknell softball program. She was a Second Team All-Patriot League selection as a freshman, and then she earned First Team honors in each of the next three seasons. All of that culminated with a Patriot League Player of the Year honor as a senior, when she hit .429 and set Bucknell single-season records for hits (66), doubles (14) and runs scored (44). Playing for Hall-of-Fame coach Terrie Grieb, Snyder fashioned a .336 career batting average and graduated with 15 team records, including career

KYLE WALTER

AMANDA FAUST marks in games played (166), games started (163), assists (472) and at-bats (563). She graduated ranked No. 2 all-time in hits with 189, trailing only fellow Hall-of-Famer Lisa Fink. Snyder was the starting shortstop on Bucknell’s very first Patriot League championship team in 1997, and her double was one of the key blows in a three-run top of the 19th inning rally in an epic 4-1 win over Colgate in the title game. KYLE WALTER ‘06 was recruited by Hall-ofFame baseball coach Gene Depew from just down the road in Mifflinburg, and Walter put together a terrific four-year career for the Bison. He became the first player in Bucknell history and just the second in Patriot League history to earn four All-Patriot League citations. Walter was just the third player in team history ever to amass over 200 career hits (210), a total that ranked second on Bucknell’s all-time list at the time of his graduation, only seven behind fellow Hall-of-Famer Tyler Prout. Walter also broke the school record for career doubles (45), and his career batting average of .337 ranked seventh all-time at graduation. Walter enjoyed a huge senior year, hitting .335 with a team-best 37 RBIs, 33 runs scored and 17 doubles. Walter made an immediate impact at Bucknell, hitting .308 with 30 runs scored and 24 RBIs as a freshman in 2003, helping the Bison to a Patriot League championship and a trip to the NCAA Regionals in Austin, Texas. He earned Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America honors that season. Walter played center field all four years as a Bison, and as a senior he was also thrust into action as a left-handed pitcher. In 10 innings of work he struck out 13 batters, and later that summer he was drafted as a pitcher in the 18th round of the MLB Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. Walter played three years of minor league baseball, and he was later named to the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team.

ANDREW COHEN AMANDA FAUST ‘09 was not only a four-time All-Patriot League selection, but she also became the first Bucknell field hockey player to garner three First Team All-Region citations. Named the Patriot League Rookie of the Year in 2005, Faust went on to compile 29 goals and a school-record 34 assists in her stellar career. A dominant defensive player who was also a prolific scorer, particularly on penalty corners, Faust was the captain of an 11-win team as a senior. She graduated with 92 career points, the most by a Bucknell player in 29 years. In fact, the only two players in team history with more points were 1970s-era Hall-of-Famers Karin Wegener and Kathy Kline. Faust was invited to play in the North-South All-Star game following her senior year, and she was later named to the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team. ANDREW COHEN ‘10 is one of the top golfers in Bucknell history, and he helped keep the program’s run of success going following the graduation of another Hall-of-Famer in Charlie Waddell. Cohen was part of two Patriot League championship teams, he made two NCAA Regionals appearances, and he posted four individual tournament wins and 18 top-10 finishes, including 15 in his final 22 career events. Cohen finished in the top 10 at the Patriot League Championship all four years, giving him four all-conference medals, and that run was highlighted by his league title as a junior in 2009. That year Cohen shattered the Patriot League Championship scoring record with rounds of 71-68-69 at West Point to lift the Bison to their third team crown in four years. Cohen was named the Golf Week Division I National Player of the Week after a stretch in which he completed 90 consecutive holes in 3-under par. In five fall events in his senior year, he finished 3rd1st-2nd-3rd-4th, and then in the spring he posted three more top-10s, including a win at the Lafayette

KEVIN LeVALLEY Invitational where he closed with a 6-under 66. That established a new school record for strokes under par in a round. Cohen broke Waddell’s school record with a 72.4 fall scoring average and a 73.2 mark over a full season, and he tied Waddell’s record with the four tournament wins. Cohen was later named to the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team. KEVIN LeVALLEY ‘11 was part of the Dan Wirnsberger’s second wrestling recruiting class after the sport was reinstated to varsity status in 2005, and LeValley spent his four undergraduate years rewriting the Bucknell record book. LeValley became Bucknell’s third two-time All-American after finishing seventh at 149 pounds at the NCAA Championships in both 2010 and 2011. He also set the team records for wins in a season (42) and career (127), breaking the marks previously held by former teammate Andy Rendos, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame with the Class of 2020. LeValley’s senior campaign will go down as one of the best in school history. He finished 34-3 for a .919 winning percentage that ranked second all-time behind only Hall-of-Famer Tom Scotton, who was 28-1 in 1977-78. LeValley was ranked as high as No. 2 nationally in 2010-11, and the highlight of his career was upsetting four-time national champion Kyle Dake of Cornell to win the EIWA title at 149 pounds. Dake, considered one of the finest collegiate wrestlers of all-time, held a career record of 137-4. LeValley earned the EIWA Coaches’ Trophy after that performance. LeValley posted a 10-6 record in his three career trips to the NCAA Championships. He was also a three-time EIWA placewinner, with second and sixthplace finishes to go along with his title as a senior. LeValley became the first Bison ever to win an individual title at the Midlands Championships, and he was the first Bison to win at the NWCA All-Star Classic.

CHRISTA MATLACK ‘11 also earned a Hall-ofFame nod in her first year on the ballot. One of the most prolific scorers in Bucknell women’s soccer history, Matlack was the 2009 and 2010 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year and was also a three-time First Team All-Patriot League honoree. Matlack recorded at least seven goals in all four of her seasons at Bucknell, and her 32 career goals were fifth-most in team history at the time of her graduation. She also ranked fifth in total points (78) and seventh in assists (14) on Bucknell’s career lists. Matlack scored the lone goal in Bucknell’s 1-0 win over Colgate that gave the Bison the 2010 Patriot League regular-season title, and she was part of teams that went 20-7-1 against Patriot League competition. Matlack was named to the Philly Soccer News Best XI Team and was also an NSCAA All-Region selection in 2009. Just as prolific in the classroom, Matlack became the first player in team history to garner NSCAA Scholar All-America honors, doing so twice as a junior and senior. She was one of 35 national recipients and was honored at the NSCAA national convention. A Christy Mathewson Award winner and a member of the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team, Matlack later became head women’s soccer coach at Penn College in her native Williamsport.

A two-year team captain who went 20-10 against ranked opponents in his final two collegiate seasons, LeValley competed internationally after graduation and was ranked as high as 12th in the world. He won a gold medal at the 2013 Cerro Pelado International in Cuba and the 2017 Dave Schultz Memorial International. He was runner-up at the 2014 Alexander Medved International in Belarus, fourth at the 2014 U.S. Open, and third at the 2015 World Team Trials. LeValley, who was the Christy Mathewson Award recipient as the top senior athlete in his class at Bucknell, later returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach.

NATIONAL HALL OF FAME MEMBERS • 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. • George Young, the co-captain of the undefeated 1951 Bucknell football team who went on to achieve tremendous success as an NFL executive, will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Centennial Class of 2020. • 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.

BUCKNELL’S ALL-TIME 1,000-YARD RUSHERS

BISON LEGENDS: “Touchdown Twins” Brad

Myers (L) and Burt Talmage (R) both eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards to lead Bucknell to a 9-0 record in 1951. Here, they celebrate with head coach Harry Lawrence after the 33-6 victory over Delaware that clinched the perfect season. To this day, they remain the only set of Bison teammates to rush for at least 1,000 yards in the same season.

<<<< 2021 BISON << 2021 SPRING IN REVIEW << 2019 IN REVIEW << PATRIOT LEAGUE << HISTORY & RECORDS << GENERAL INFORMATION <<<<

The Bucknell football program presented its All-Decade Team for the 2010s, as selected by Bison Nation through fan polls on BucknellBison.com, in August 2020. Among the honorees were six All-Americans: DL Abdullah Anderson, LB Evan Byers, OL Julién Davenport, DB Clayton Ewell, P Alex Pechin and DB Bryce Robertson. Other headliners include DL Josh Eden, an FCS record holder, QB R.J. Nitti, RB C.J. Williams and WR Will Carter, among the top offensive threats in school history, and eight defensive players who rank in the Bison’s top 10 in their respective statistical categories. Anderson, Davenport and Pechin represent three of Bucknell’s four four-time All-Patriot League honorees; Pechin is only the fourth football player to make four All-Patriot League First Teams, joining Holy Cross DB Dave Murphy (1986-89), Colgate QB Ryan Vena (1996-99) and Lehigh RB Dom Bragalone (201518). In addition, Pechin became the 14th consensus All-American in Patriot League history by making the 2019 AP, AFCA, STATS and Walter Camp squads. Six of Bucknell’s All-Decade honorees made three All-Patriot League teams: Byers, DL Robert De La Rosa, Eden, TE/ FB Travis Friend, LB Simeon Page and LB Mark Pyles. All of Eden’s nods were to the First Team. Page, a current senior, earned All-Patriot League recognition all three of his seasons in Lewisburg to date.

BISON LEGENDS: George Young earned 1951 Little All-America

honors after leading Bucknell to a 9-0 season, the program’s most recent undefeated campaign. Then, he played one season with the Dallas Texans before breaking into the front office ranks with the Baltimore Colts in 1968. He held several positions in that organization before becoming the Miami Dolphins’ director of personnel and pro scouting in 1974. Young was named the New York Giants’ general manager in 1979. In his 19 years with the organization, he helped the Giants win the Super Bowl in 1986 and 1990. The winner of the NFL’s Executive of the Year Award an unprecedented five times, Young became the NFL’s Senior Vice President of Football Operations in 1998.

CHRISTY MATHEWSON-MEMORIAL STADIUM

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

The Bucknell football team plays its home games in a picturesque, 97-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 celebrated 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.

PASCUCCI FAMILY ATHLETICS COMPLEX

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL <<<< BUCKNELLBISON.COM <<<< @BUCKNELL_FB <<<<

Bucknell University president John C. Bravman announced on August 9, 2021 a pledge of more than $40 million from Michael Pascucci ‘58. The largest single pledge in Bucknell history will include $30 million in unrestricted financial aid endowment for the University, along with $10 million more directed toward enhancements in and around Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. In recognition of Pascucci’s historic commitment to both financial aid and athletics, the area of campus that includes the stadium and the Christy Mathewson Gates will be named the Pascucci Family Athletics Complex. The complex’s name will be displayed on a new video board at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, construction of which is also supported by more than $1 million in giving by additional donors. The new board will be operational this fall. Additional Athletics enhancements funded by the pledge are anticipated to open in 2023, and they include the new Michael C. Pascucci Team Center and an artificial turf practice field, offering additional training and practice space for several men’s and women’s teams. The improvements will be 100 percent donor funded, including an endowment to offset operations. They will also have a ripple effect that will benefit all of Bucknell’s 27 Division I athletics teams by freeing up locker room, training and rehabilitation space in the Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center and elsewhere on campus. The practice field will also be available for recreational use, spreading the impact on student life even further. “The extraordinary generosity of Michael Pascucci will have a permanent impact on our University’s most imperative calling — ensuring that the power and opportunity of a Bucknell education is accessible,” John C. Bravman, Bucknell University president, said in recognition of the pledge. “Many future generations of Bucknellians to come will owe a deep gratitude and appreciation for the generosity of Michael, his family and the Pascucci Family Foundation. On their behalf, we extend a heartfelt thank-you.” “Enhancements like the Pascucci Family Athletics Complex enable Bucknell to excel as a highly competitive NCAA Division I school with one of the broadest men’s and women’s athletics programs in all of college sports,” said Jermaine Truax, director of athletics & recreation. “Michael Pascucci’s commitments to both financial aid and athletics will help Bucknell fulfill our mission of helping our student-athletes reach their fullest potential, on and off the field.” The picturesque Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium was dedicated in 1924 and was known originally as Memorial Stadium as a tribute to Bucknell’s numerous war veterans. The stadium underwent a major renovation in 1989, and at that time it was rededicated to honor the iconic Christy Mathewson, who was

a three-sport star and model student-athlete during his playing days at Bucknell. Mathewson is best known as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, and he was one of five original inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Today, Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium is the home to the Bucknell football, men’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s track and field teams. The brand new, state-of-the-art video board will greatly heighten the fan experience at all of these team’s home events. The 25’ x 50’ high-definition display will allow for enhanced in-game entertainment, replays, sponsorship opportunities, and eight-lane timing for track and field meets. The Pascucci Team Center will be equipped with a new strength and conditioning center, men’s lacrosse locker room, and team meeting and event space. Outside the north gates of the stadium and adjacent to the Team Center will be the site for the new all-weather artificial turf practice field, which will provide even greater training opportunities for a variety of programs beyond the ones that call the stadium home. “I can’t thank Mr. Pascucci enough for his incredible pledge, which will have a profound impact on Bucknell University and the Bison football program for generations to come,” said Dave Cecchini, the Bob Odell Head Coach of Bucknell Football. “The new video board looks magnificent perched in the south end of the stadium. Not only will it be a great addition for our fans, but our current players are going to realize a whole new level of excitement when they take the field on Saturdays in that enhanced atmosphere. The new team support facility will also be a game-changer for our program, as it will allow us to relocate our cramped weight room and meeting rooms into a beautiful new space.” “Mr. Pascucci’s landmark gift is going to have an immeasurable impact on the current and future student-athletes in the Bucknell men’s lacrosse program,” said head coach Frank Fedorjaka. “Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium has been a great home field for us since we started playing games there 20 years ago, but now with locker room, weight room and meeting spaces all part of the Pascucci Family Athletics Complex, it will truly feel like a home for our team.” “The Bucknell track and field program hosts a number of high-profile meets every year, and the enhancements to the stadium with the new scoreboard and the Pascucci Team Center will give Bucknell one of the finest track and field facilities in the East,” said Kevin Donner, head cross country and track and field coach. “On behalf of the nearly 170 student-athletes in the Bison spiked shoe program, a sincere thank you to Mr. Pascucci for giving back to Bucknell in such a deeply impactful way.”

ATHLETICS 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, 140 Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 164 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. Kinney Natatorium has 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, seven 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, at the Pascucci Family Athletics Complex, 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

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH 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 sixth with an 89% federal graduation rate in the 2020 survey.

•

In 2019-20, all 27 Bison varsity teams significantly exceeded the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) standards, with nine programs boasting perfect scores in the four-year rolling average. Bucknell also received 10 NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) Public Recognition Awards, with football earning a spot in the prestigious group.

•

Bucknell has claimed a league-high 164 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91. All-American punter Alex Pechin was selected as the Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2017, 2018 and 2019; the Biomedical Engineering/Management for Engineers double major became the first football player to earn this prestigious honor three times. 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 fellow Bison David Berardinelli (1992-93) and Lehigh’s Nick Martucci (1998-99).

•

A total of 524 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2020-21 after recording a GPA of 3.20 or better during their sport’s competition season. In addition, 25 Bison were honored on Academic All-Patriot League Teams, which mirror the All-Patriot League Teams for each sport. That group included two football players: Rick Mottram and Simeon Page. Mottram was also among Bucknell’s three Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year.

•

In addition to its 140 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 387 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including seven in 2020-21. Last season’s Academic All-American honorees were wrestling’s Zach Hartman, football’s Rick Mottram and men’s soccer’s Matt Thorsheim. Notably, Mottram became the fourth Bison football player to make two Academic All-America squads, joining Larry Brunt (1975 & 1976), Mike Morrow (1984 & 1986) and Berardinelli (1991 & 1992).

•

Bucknell has captured 116 Patriot League championships in its 30 years in the league. The Bison also boast 146 conference players of the year, 130 coaches of the year and 660 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 2021 spring semester.

•

Bucknell has won the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 18 times in its 30-year history. In a 16-year stretch between 1999 and 2013, the Bison captured the crown 14 times.

•

With 140, Bucknell ranks among the Division I leaders in total number of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans.

•

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 in the 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.

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH 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.

LEWISBURG, BUCKNELL’S HOMETOWN WELCOME TO LEWISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH 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.

The Bison, who the season before became the first collegiate football program at any level to team with Vs. Cancer, celebrated their efforts during their Family Weekend game against Princeton. In partnership with Vs. Cancer, the Bison again 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 $17,000 thanks to the generous support of family and friends. The Bison eclipsed their 2018 total by over $6,000. To date, they have raised over $28,000 as part of their partnership with Vs. Cancer. Bucknell football players and coaches visited patients and their families at Janet Weis Children’s Hospital on Aug. 19 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.” The Bison also welcomed 12-year-old cancer survivor Madeline Cross and her mother, Brenda Hill, to practice on Sept. 19. At that same practice, fifth-year Pechin, juniors Simon Krizak and Simeon Page, sophomore Renn Lints and freshmen Cooper Kim, Seth Pletcher and Hayden Snyder shaved their heads to raise pediatric cancer awareness. Pletcher had been growing out his hair since seventh grade; he cut it off to benefit Locks of Love. 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.

BISON & GRIDIRON CLUBS THE BISON CLUB

<<<< 2021 BUCKNELL FOOTBALLL MEDIA GUIDE <<<< THE 136TH 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 277 members and is located on the second floor of Gerhard Fieldhouse. Todd Newcomb, Bucknell Class of 1988, is in his 20th 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. 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 for the annual Bud Ranck-Tom Gadd Memorial Kickoff Classic at the Bucknell Golf Club on July 31, 2021. 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 2021 edition, a return from a one-year absence due to the COVID-19 public health threat, the attendees enjoyed a round of golf under brisk, cool conditions. Later in the evening, this diverse mix of former Bison players and coaches along with numerous fans and supporters of the program was treated to dinner, a silent auction, a raffle and a season preview from head coach Dave Cecchini in the Langone Center’s Terrace Room. The golf tournament format was a scramble.

JOHN BRAVMAN

JERMAINE TRUAX

17th President of Bucknell University 12th 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 175-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 build upon 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 the Plan for Bucknell 2025, which was approved unanimously by the University Board of Trustees in spring 2019. The University’s first new strategic plan in 13 years, it serves 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, the home of 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 space dedicated to engineering and the Department of Education. In summer 2021, Bucknell will complete construction of a home for the Freeman College of Management and the Department of Art & Art History. 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; and has 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 Bucknell Board of Trustees unanimously voted to extend his contract through June 2025. John is married to Professor Wendelin Wright, who holds the Heinemann Family Professorship in Engineering in the mechanical and chemical engineering departments at Bucknell. She also serves as chair of the mechanical engineering department. They have two young sons, Cole and Cooper. He has two older sons, Christopher and Matthew.

Director of Athletics & Recreation 4th 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 two years in Lewisburg have been a success, both competitively and in the continuation of Bucknell’s outstanding record of accomplishment in the area of scholar-athlete metrics. He has watched several teams lift championship trophies, and in the spring of 2021 the Bison field hockey and men’s water polo teams both advanced to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. Truax oversees a Division I program that ranked sixth nationally in student-athlete graduation rate in the most recent survey, while also easily surpassing the NCAA requirements for Academic Performance Rate (APR). Additionally, Bison Athletics set a fundraising record with $2,910,140 in annual support during Truax’s first year at the helm, and the 2021 “One Herd One Day” 24-hour giving challenge eclipsed the $1 million mark in financial support for the first time, as $1,057,765 was raised from 2,903 supportive donors, even with the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Truax has revamped the department’s external relations and development teams, and he has led the effort in increasing revenue through annual support and improved branding, marketing, and ticketing for Bison Athletics. 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. He also participated in the Sport Management Institute, and NACDA’s Senior Administrators Mentoring Institute.
