2021 Preseason All-Patriot League Selections Gavin Pringle

Bucknell hosts the No. 24/18 Fordham Rams at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium for its fourth Patriot League game of the season on Saturday. The Bison are challenged with stopping the nation’s top scoring offense in their 38th all-time meeting with the Rams.

The Bucknell defense has limited its last two opponents to 16 points per game, Fordham represents the second ranked opponent the Bison have faced this season. Saturday’s game against Fordham is one of two home games remaining on the schedule for the Bison.

WITH A VICTORY BUCKNELL WOULD...

• defeat the Rams for the first time since 2012

• beat a ranked opponent for the first time since 2013

• win its first home game this season

• even the all-time series with the Rams at 19-19

BUCKNELL AT A GLANCE

• Bucknell (1-7, 1-3 PL) seeks its second Patriot League win and its first victory at home when it hosts Fordham at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The Bison are coming off a loss to Colgate, which proved to be a defensive battle featuring just three scores.

• Bucknell was picked to finish seventh in the Patriot League based on a vote by the league’s head coaches and sports information directors ahead of the 2022 season.

• The Bison finished 1-10 overall in the 2021 season and went 0-6 against league oppo nents. They were picked in the same spot prior to the shortened 2021 spring season before capturing the Patriot League South Division title and earning a spot in the first-ever Patriot League Championship. Bucknell eventually fell to Holy Cross in the title game that spring, and the Crusaders were picked to win the league again in 2022 as the three-time defending champions.

• Senior DB Gavin Pringle was voted to the 2022 Preseason All-Patriot League Team for a third time in his career. Pringle is a two-time All-Patriot League selection and tied for the team lead in pass breakups last year despite missing more than half the season with injury.

• The Bison returned a staggering 51 letterwinners in 2022, as dozens of underclassmen gained playing experience during an injury-plagued season last fall. The young group of returning lettermen include 18 sophomores, 23 juniors and 10 seniors. Five seniors are three-time letterwinners: Pringle, DB Jonathan Searcy, LB Ben Allen, Jackson and DL Cooper Kim.

• Bucknell’s lone victory during the 2021 campaign came at home in week 4 against Cornell. The Bison scored two unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter and generated four turnovers during Homecoming Weekend. Quarterback Nick Semptimphelter connected with tight end Christian Spugnardi for the go-ahead touchdown. Semptimphelter later ran for a two-yard touchdown.

• Bucknell is in its fourth season under head coach Dave Cecchini, who spent the previous five years at Valparaiso. For leading the Bison to a spot in the Patriot League Champion ship Game during the 2021 spring season, he was voted as the Patriot League Dick Biddle Coach of the Year.

• Searcy, Allen, Jackson and junior OL Ethan Pitzel were selected as team captains for the 2022 season.

INSIDE THE COLGATE BOX SCORE

• S Brent Jackson led a Bison defense that limited the Raiders to just 13 points as the senior captain posted a career-high 16 tackle, including 12 solo stops and three tackles for loss, along with a sack and a pass breakup. Tyler Alston added a sack for Bucknell as well.

• Bucknell punched it into the end zone on a 1-yard Rushawn Baker rushing touchdown to draw within six of tying in the fourth quarter, but the Bison were unable to score again in the 13-7 loss. It was Baker’s fourth touchdown in the last three weeks and his sixth overall this season.

• QBs Ethan Grady and Alex Brown combined for 147 passing yards, while RB Coleman Bennett led the rushing attack with 71 yards on 12 carries. The Bison saw a number of long completions, including a 31-yard reception by WR Damian Harris, a 23-yard catch by Bennett, a 39-yard reception by WR Marques Owens and a 22-yard catch by TE Charlie Kreinbucher.

• Along with his two completions for 62 yards, Brown added 29 yards on 11 rushing attempts.

• DL Aneesh Vyas blocked his second kick of the season, getting his hand on Colgate’s first PAT attempt of the game. It was Bucknell’s first blocked PAT since 2017.

• The only turnover of the game was on a muffed punt by the Bison in the first quarter that gave Colgate possession at their own 47-yard line.

• QB Michael Brescia rushed for both of Colgate’s touchdowns, finishing with 66 yards on the ground. He also completed 20 of 28 pass attempts for 176 yards. He hooked up with

BISON NOTES

women’s teams, the new field provides even greater training opportunities for a variety of programs beyond the ones that call Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium home.

• The stadium’s new, state-of-the-art video board made its debut last season, greatly heightening the fan experience at home events.

• Future additions to The Pascucci Team Center include a new strength and conditioning center, a men’s lacrosse locker room, and a team meeting and event space.

• 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 has been named the Pascucci Family Athletics Complex.

• 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.

HOW TO FOLLOW THE BISON

• All of Bucknell’s home games and its road contests at VMI, Yale, Holy Cross, Lehigh and George town will air on ESPN+, which became home of the Patriot League Network ahead of the 2020-21 school year.

• The Bison’s game at FBS foe Central Michigan will be broadcast on ESPN3.

• All of the Bison’s games will be broadcast on 100.9 The Valley (WVLY). The broadcast will also be available on WVLY.com/The__Valley and BucknellBison.com.

• Bucknell is active on Twitter (@Bucknell_FB) and Instagram (Bucknell_FB). Interact with the team using the hashtags #ACT and #rayBucknell.

UP NEXT

• Bucknell plays its final road game of the season at Georgetown on Saturday, Nov. 12.

HEAD

Dave Cecchini, one of the all-time great wide re ceivers 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 presea son poll, knocked off Pennsylvania rivals Lafayette (38-13) and Lehigh (6-0) to earn a date with defend ing 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-re cord 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 Pio neer Football League Coach of the Year and the AFCA FCS Region 4 Coach of the Year.

Cecchini left Valparaiso as the program’s winningest coach through 50 games since 1986. Other highlights of his time at Valparaiso included defeating rival Butler in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2005, go ing 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 of fensive 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 receiv ers 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 receiv ers 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.

MEETING

Bucknell Football Toppled by Fordham

The Bucknell football team was downed by Fordham, 66-21, at Jack Coffey Field. The Rams (4-3, 2-0 PL) found the end zone on their first four drives of the game, and converted on five of their first six overall, en route to their ninth-straight victory over the Bison (1-5, 0-2 PL). Reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year Tim DeMorat threw for 318 yards and a school-record six touchdowns in just two and a half quarters of work to lead the offensive onslaught.

For Bucknell, running backs Rushawn Baker, Jared Cooper and Danny Meuser rushed for touchdowns, with Baker’s being the first of his collegiate career. In addition, Ethan Robinson made 15 solo tackles in his first collegiate start while Aneesh Vyas recovered a pair of fumbles; Vyas also forced the first, which led to Baker’s touchdown run.

Fordham led 21-7 at the end of the first quarter and 45-14 entering halftime. DeMorat matched his school’s record by throwing six touchdown passes in the first half alone, with half being hauled in by Fotis Kokosioulis.

With the Rams out to an early 14-0 lead, the Bison responded with an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive that cut their deficit to 14-7 at the first quarter’s 4:53 mark. That drive, which saw Nick Semptimphelter complete a 36-yard pass to Coleman Bennett, was capped by Cooper’s two-yard touchdown run, his first of the season and fourth of his career.

Fordham answered Bucknell’s touchdown with two more of its own, extending its advantage to 28-7 by the second quarter’s 14:14 mark. A 24-yard field goal made it a 31-7 game with 9:46 on the clock.

Baker’s touchdown, a 22-yard rumble, was set up by Vyas, who forced and recovered a fum ble at the Rams’ 35-yard line. The Bison took advantage of the short field, needing just three plays to find the end zone.

The Rams tacked on two more touchdowns in the second quarter’s final four minutes, with the first coming after a Bucknell fumble and the second on three quick passes.

Football Drops Overtime Heartbreaker to Towson, 14-13 in Season Opener

Ethan Grady hooked up with tight end Christian Spugnardi for the duo’s second touchdown of the night, pulling Bucknell within one point on the second possession of overtime, but the extra point was off the mark and Towson escaped with a 14-13 victory on Saturday night before a spirited crowd at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

The 2022 season opener for both teams was a defensive struggle throughout. The game re mained scoreless until just over two minutes remained in the third quarter, when Bison and Tigers swapped touchdowns in quick succession. A 1-yard TD pass from Grady to Spugnardi, set up by a 69yard run by Rushawn Baker down to the one, drew the Bison even 39 seconds into the fourth quarter.

Towson converted a big 4th-and-8 on the first possession of overtime and then cashed in on a Devin Matthews touchdown to take a 14-7 lead. Running backs Baker and Coleman Bennett com bined to get the Bison to the 4-yard line, and on 3rd-and-goal Grady dropped a pass over a defender to Spugnardi in the end zone.

Bucknell ran for 149 yards on the night, with Baker gaining 95 yards on 15 carries and Bennett 60 yards on 14 totes. Grady completed 12 of 31 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. The Bison did not turn the ball over.

Brent Jackson and Blake Leake made 12 tackles and Ethan Robinson picked off a pass to lead a stout defensive effort.

Bucknell’s defense forced Towson to punt on five of its 13 drives in the game and made two crucial fourth down stops.

Getting the Bucknell offense going in the first quarter, Grady connected with Damian Harris on a 43-yard flea flicker that set the Bison up at the Towson 29-yard line for Bucknell’s longest play of the first half. The second drive of the game stalled, however, and Bucknell failed to convert on fourth down.

Grady’s second-longest pass of the night was a 38-yard heave to Bennett down the sideline in the third quarter, and Bennett followed it up with a 12-yard scamper that took Bucknell to the Towson 31-yard line. Still, the game remained scoreless after a narrowly missed 45-yard field goal attempt.

Bucknell Football Downed at VMI, 24-14

Junior quarterback Nick Semptimphelter came off the bench to throw two second-half touchdown passes, but Bucknell could not climb all the way back from a 24-point deficit and fell 24-14 at VMI on Saturday at rain-soaked Foster Stadium.

Down 21-0 at the half and 24-0 after Jerry Rice’s 39-yard field goal with 9:33 left in the third quarter, the Bison got back into the game with a couple of scoring drives.

Semptimphelter capped an eight-play drive with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Rushawn Baker out of the backfield with 1:05 left in the third period. The two-point conversion was off the mark.

QB Seth Morgan had the ball slip out of his throwing hand on the second play of VMI’s next possession, and Patrick Quinlivan recovered at the Keydets’ 40-yard line. Moments after the turnover, Akeyo Ayungo made a spectacular catch on the right sideline with a defender in his face, moving the ball to the 5-yard line. On 3rd-and-goal from the 4, Semptimphelter picked out tight end Kyle Fontes in the back of the end zone.

This time the Bison hit the two-point conversion, with Josh Gary catching a pass in the flat before powering through a defender into the end zone to make it 24-14 with 13:04 to play.

The Bucknell defense forced a turnover on downs and a punt later in the fourth quarter but could not get any closer.

Semptimphelter ended up 9 for 18 passing while accumulating 95 yards, including 34 yards on the Ayungo connection. Ethan Grady, who started the game at quarterback, was 10 for 20 with 54 yards.

VMI ended up out-gaining the Bison 326 to 178, racking up 178 yards on the ground and 148 through the air. Bucknell ended up winning the turnover battle thanks to a Gavin Pringle interception with under two minutes remaining in the first half. The senior finished with four pass breakups as well.

Freshman Charlie Kreinbucher corralled a 19-yard pass during Bucknell’s opening series, but the drive ended with the Bison throwing an interception. The Keydets were forced to punt on their opening possession, but they marched 67 yards down the field on their second and were helped by a roughing the passer penalty that kept the drive alive. VMI opened the scoring with a 9-yard rushing touchdown up the middle with 7:37 to play in the quarter.

VMI doubled its lead three minutes later when Morgan threw a short pass out wide on 4th-and-2 from their own 45-yard line to Max Brimigion, who went 55 yards to the end zone. Opening the second quarter, VMI drove 73 yards on 11 plays and scored on a 2-yard rush by Hunter Rice to make it a 21-0 Bucknell deficit.

Pringle’s interception kept the VMI lead at three touchdowns in the first half as he stepped in front of a Keydet receiver and returned the pick 17 yards to midfield with 1:14 remaining.

After Bucknell turned it over on downs to open the second half, VMI added three more points with Rice’s only field goal attempts of the day, which capped a 9-play, 46-yard drive.

Momentum began to swing in Bucknell’s favor once the quarter hit the five-minute mark. Semptimphelter led a 43-yard drive that culminated with the Baker score with 1:05 to play in the third quarter. Baker finished the game with four receptions for 20 yards. It was just three minutes later that Fontes caught the first touchdown of his career. The two-point conversion brought Bucknell within 10.

Bucknell was forced to punt on its next drive and turned it over on downs on the next two, resulting in the 24-14 final.

Senior safety Brent Jackson led the Bison with eight tackles, including six solo stops and a tackle for a loss. Blake Leake was second with seven tackles, including one for a loss. Also notable were three receptions for 38 yards for Damien Harris, one of which went for 21 yards.

GAME NOTES

• The Bucknell defense limited Central Michigan to seven points in the first half and came away with two turnovers in the game, but the Chippewas ran away with 34 points in the second half to hand Bucknell its third loss of the season.

• Bucknell QB Ethan Grady went down in the third quarter and replaced by Tyler Beverett, who completed six passes for 57 yards. Grady finished the day with 96 yards on 11 completions.

The Bucknell defense limited Central Michigan to just seven points and grabbed an interception in a stout defensive effort over the first two quarters, but the Chippewas got hot in the second half and rattled off touchdowns on five consecutive drives to secure a 41-0 victory at Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Saturday.

After Central Michigan punted, threw an interception and missed two field goals on its first four drives, the Chippewas broke the scoreless tie with 4:37 to play in the second quarter on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Richardson to Joel Wilson. It was the first of two passing TDs for the sophomore.

Bucknell’s best scoring chance was on a 10-play, 42-yard drive in the second quarter that ended up at the Central Michigan 28, but the Bison’s field goal attempt went wide. It was one of four missed field goals in the game, with the Chippewas missing the mark on three of them.

Central Michigan’s leading rusher, Lew Nichols III, cashed in on two rushing touchdowns in the third quarter, and quarterback Jase Bauer ran for two more in the fourth.

Ethan Grady, who started the game at quarterback for the Bison, finished 11 of 24 with 96 yards through the air and an interception. Tyler Beverett played most of the second half and went 6 for 12 for 57 yards. Christian Tait hauled in four receptions for 35 yards. Meanwhile, Rushawn Baker ran for a team-high 31 yards on eight attempts.

Safety Brent Jackson matched his career high with 12 tackles and two pass breakups. Alex Smith Jr. had the Bison interception, and Gavin Pringle posted three pass breakups and five tackles.

Bucknell saw several extended drives that ended in Central Michigan territory over the first half. The offense crossed midfield on its second possession of the game thanks to a 13-yard completion to Okeyo Ayungo, a seven-yard pass to Damian Harris and 11 yards on the ground by Coleman Bennett. The drive stalled at the CMU 47 and the Bison punted it away.

Bucknell’s next drive began with an 18-yard run by Beverett. Beverett later hit Josh Gary on an 18-yard completion down to the 19-yard line, but a fumbled snap backed the offense up to the 28, resulting in the 48-yard field goal attempt.

Central Michigan’s first scoring drive went 80 yards and took 12 plays as well as two fourth-down conversions. Richardson’s pass initially bounced off one reciever’s hands and into another’s in the end zone.

The Bison piled up 103 yards to Central Michigan’s 177 over the first two quarters and posted nine first downs to CMU’s 12.

Central Michigan missed a field goal and punted on its first two possessions of the second half, but the Chippewas got right back into scoring position when a blocked punt set their offense up and Buck nell’s 25-yard line. It look Nichols just two rushes to get in the end zone and extend the lead to 13-0.

The Chippewas then scored on a six-play, 43-yard drive, a seven-play, 71-yard drive, a five-play, 72-yard drive and an eight-play, 67-yard drive on consecutive possessions. Sandwiched between the four rushing TDs by Nichols III and Bauer, Richardson connected with Langston Lewis for a 45-yard heave deep down the middle of the field.

The Bison nearly got on the board in the fourth quarter when Baker broke free down the sideline for a 14-yard gain, but he narrowly stepped out of bounds at the Central Michigan 35-yard line. Buck nell later turned it over on downs.

Coleman Bennett added another Bison touchdown and a two-point conversion late, but it wasn’t enough as the Leopards held on for a 24-14 victory at a rain-soaked Christy Mathewson-Me morial Stadium.

Lafayette quarterback Rent Montie ran for touchdowns in the second and third quarters, including one of 42 yards 3:11 into the second half. Lafayette put the lead just out of reach when defensive back A.T. Ntantang returned an interception 80 yards with 8:01 to play in the game to make the score 24-6.

Bucknell quarterback Ethan Grady completed 20 of 40 attempts for 199 yards and three intercep tions. Baker finished with 71 yards rushing on 15 attempts. Marques Owens hauled in three catches for 44 yards, and Josh Gary caught three for 41 yards.

Bucknell piled up 307 yards for the game compared to 257 for the Leopards.

Bucknell saw several opportunities to score points in the first quarter, including on the opening kickoff of the game when Bennett ran it back 97 yards to the end zone, but a holding penalty wiped it off the board and pushed the Bison all the way back to their own 10-yard line. After forcing a Lafayette punt, Bucknell drove 45 yards on eight plays down to the five, but again it couldn’t capitalize and turned it over on downs.

The Leopards opened the scoring on their second possession, moving the ball 88 yards on 13 plays and settling for a 24-yard field goal to make it 3-0 at the 13:42 mark in the second quarter. La fayette had a chance to add on another field goal on its following drive, but the attempt hi the upright from 21 yards out.

The Bison caught a break when they punted the ball away from their own 27-yard line with 4:12 to go in the half and Lafayette’s returner dropped it, allowing Caleb Gillen to recover it at the Leopards’ 20. Bucknell took advantage, as Bennett hauled in a one-handed catch for 14 yards, and two plays later Baker turned in his second touchdown of the season. The extra point attempt was missed, how ever, and the Bison settled for a 6-3 lead.

With just 2:05 to play in the half, Lafayette drove 45 yards on seven plays and scored on a 1-yard run by Montie to make it 10-6 going into the locker rooms.

After forcing Lafayette to punt on its opening drive of the third quarter, the Bison gave it back three plays later as Ntantang grabbed his first of two interceptions in the game. It was on Lafayette’s second drive of the half that Montie ripped off the 42-yard run up the middle of the defense to push the lead to 17-6.

Bucknell saw another chance to score points two possessions later after moving the ball 36 yards on 13 plays down to the Lafayette 23, but a 40-yard field goal attempt was blocked with 4:14 to go in the third.

Lafayette added its final touchdown on the pick-six with just over eight minutes to play in the game. On Bucknell’s final drive, Grady connected with Derrick Anderson Jr. for 23 yards, Christian Tait for 12 yards, and Josh Gary for 14 yards down to the Lafayette 13.

Five Takeaways Not Enough in Fotball’s Loss at Yale

The Bucknell defense came up with five takeaways, including four interceptions, but it wasn’t enough as Yale went on to win 29-9 at the historic Yale Bowl on Saturday. Bucknell trailed by just a touchdown heading into the final quarter at 16-9 before the Bulldogs added a safety and two touch downs late in the game.

It was the first time since Sept. 30, 2000 that Bucknell intercepted four passes in a game. Bison running back Rushawn Baker put together a strong game on the ground, rushing for 113 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. Quarterback Ethan Grady completed 13 of 26 pass attempts for 102 yards, and Damian Harris hauled in four catches for 38 yards.

Brent Jackson led all Bison with 12 tackles and grabbed the first interception of his career. Alex Smith Jr., Jonathan Searcy, and Gavin Pringle also ended up with picks, and John Schlendorf finished with seven tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. Bucknell last forced five total turnovers against Penn in 2018.

Baker’s 75-yard run in the opening quarter set up kicker Matt Schearer for a 39-yard field goal that gave the Bison an early 3-0 lead. The Bulldogs then scored 14 unanswered points before Baker rushed for a 13-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The Bison were unable to find the end zone again. Yale quarterback Nolan Grooms ran for 95 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries. He also threw for one more.

The Bison ended up with 260 yards of total offense while the Bulldogs picked up 433.

The defense forced Yale to punt on its first three drives and forced the fumble on its fourth drive. As the defense came up with stops, the offense scored first in the game for the first time this season. On Bucknell’s second possession of the opening quarter, Baker caught a pass out of the backfield and ran for nine yards to set up a 3rd-and-1 at the Bison’s 14-yard line. Baker found a hole on the third down attempt and rushed up the middle for a career-long 75-yard gain to the Yale 11. From there, Schearer drilled the first field goal of his career.

The long run, as well as a 36-yard scamper by Danny Meuser, helped the Bison rack up 123 of their 158 rushing yards in just the first 15 minutes.

Last-Minute Field Goal Lifts Bucknell to 19-17 Win at Lehigh

Freshman kicker Matt Schearer sent a 19-yard field goal through the uprights with 18 seconds left to give the Bucknell football team a 19-17 win over Lehigh at Goodman Stadium on Saturday. It was Schearer’s second field goal of the game as he highlighted a special teams performance that provided plenty of drama in Bucknell’s Patriot League victory. The game-winning drive was only made possible by a successful onside kick attempt by the Bison with 2:01 remaining that they recovered at the Lehigh 47. Quarterback Nick Semp timphelter then led Bucknell down the field and hit tight end Charlie Kreinbucher with a 24-yard pass to the Lehigh 2-yard line to set up Schearer.

Bucknell was forced to attempt the onside kick because its extra-point attempt was blocked following a Rushawn Baker touchdown with 2:05 to play that would have tied the game at 17-17.

Schearer also booted a 48-yarder earlier in the quarter.

Bucknell’s defense was also outstanding in the game as it limited the Mountain Hawks to just 10 points. Lehigh’s first touchdown was scored on a blocked punt early in the third quarter. The defense came up with two interceptions and a forced fumble, all in the second quarter. Bucknell has now forced eight turnovers over its last two games.

Linebackers Blake Leake and Ben Allen each finished with seven tackles. Safety Brent Jackson posted five tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception.

Baker scored both of Bucknell’s touchdowns on runs of three yards and one yard. He finished with 48 yards on the ground. Semptimphelter threw for 146 yards, completing 18 of 28 passes. 95 of his passing yards came during the fourth quarter.

Bucknell punted nine times, including on each of its first five drives as the game remained scoreless throughout the first quarter. The excitement picked up in the second quarter when the Bison generated their three turnovers and opened the scoring with 2:15 to go in the half.

Jackson grabbed his second interception in as many games on a deep pass down at the Bucknell 5-yard line, ending a 10-play drive for the Mountain Hawks. The senior then forced a fumble on Lehigh’s following drive, knocking the ball out of the quarterback’s hand on a sack. Jackson, who leads the FCS in solo tackles this season, recovered the fumble as well. Two drives later, Alex Smith Jr. picked off his third pass of the season and returned it 20 yards into Lehigh territory. This time the Bison took advantage as Baker capped a four-play drive with his first score of the game to make it 7-0.

GAME NOTES

• Bucknell scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, including nine points in the final 2:05 of the game to beat Lehigh for its first win of the season.

• Matt Schearer kicked a 19-yard game-winning field goal with 18 seconds remaining. He also made a 48-yarder earlier in the quarter, which was the lon gest by a Bucknell kicker in more than three decades.

• The game-winning drive was set up by a Bucknell onside kick, which they had to recover after the extra point that would have tied the game with 2:05 remaining was blocked.

• RB Rushawn Baker scored two touchdowns in the game and finished with 48 yards on 18 carries.

• QB Nick Semptimphelter completed 5 of 11 passes for 95 yards in the fourth quarter, including a 39-yard pass and a 24-yard pass that set up the final two scores.

• Bucknell came up with three takeaways in the second quarter, including an interception and a forced fumble by S Brent Jackson.

Lehigh closed out the quarter with an 11-play, 48-yard drive and kicked a 34-yard field goal to make it 7-3 going into halftime.

Bucknell started the second half backed up at its own 8-yard line and tried to punt it away after a 3-andout, but the Mountain Hawks broke through the line and blocked it back into the end zone where they recov ered to go up 10-7. It was the only score of the third quarter by either team.

Schearer’s 48-yard field goal tied the game on the second play of the fourth quarter. It was just the third attempt of his career and Bucknell’s longest make in over three decades.

Bucknell’s defense continued to do its part, forcing Lehigh punts on the next two possessions, but a Bucknell fumble with 9:28 to play in the game set the Mountain Hawks up at the Bison 24, and seven plays later they punched it in with a one-yard touchdown run to take a 17-10 lead.

Bucknell took over with 4:54 to play, and Semptimphelter and the offense played some of their best football over that final stretch. On the touchdown drive that cut the deficit to 17-16, Semptimphelter connected with Coleman Bennett up the middle for 16 yards, hit Damian Harris for an 8-yard gain, and threw a 39-yard bomb to Marcus Owens on fourth down that put Bucknell at the goal line for Baker’s second touchdown run.

After the blocked extra point, Bucknell elected to go for the onside kick with just two minutes on the clock. Kicker Ryan Schatzel played it beautifully as the ball bounced 18 yards down field before being recovered by Ethan Robinson.

Now with the momentum of potentially sealing the game on a final drive, Semptimphelter connected with Harris for eight yards, rushed for a 12-yard gain, and threw 24 yards down field to Kreinbucher on a gutsy call that placed Bucknell at the 2-yard line.

After Schearer kicked the go-ahead field goal, Lehigh was left with 12 seconds on offense but was unable to get past midfield.

Football Falls at Home to Colgate in 13-7 Defensive Battle

The Bison defense limited Colgate to 13 points, and running back Rushawn Baker scored a touch down midway through the fourth quarter to draw within six points of tying, but the Raiders held on to capture a 13-7 win over Bucknell football at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

Colgate quarterback Michael Brescia rushed for two touchdowns, including one just before half time and one during the third quarter. The Raiders’ first extra point was blocked by Aneesh Vyas. Colgate led in total offense (327-297), gaining 151 yards on the ground and 176 through the air. Bucknell rushed for 150 yards and passed for 147. Running back Coleman Bennett accumulated 71 yards on the ground, and Baker added 46.

Ethan Grady completed 10 of 29 passes for 85 yards. Alex Brown also passed for 62 yards, adding 39 more rushing.

Brent Jackson led the Bison defensive effort with a career-high 16 tackles and had one of Buck nell’s two sacks. Tyler Alston also added a sack. Ethan Robinson and Blake Leake finished with eight tackles each, and John Schlendorf posted two of Bucknell’s four pass breakups.

The Bison offense converted seven of 19 third downs on the day, but it had several scoring op portunities negated by penalties and started many of its drive backed up in its own territory. The Bison ended up punting seven times, while Colgate punted it away on eight of its possessions. The Bucknell defense also made a stop on one of Colgate’s three fourth down plays.

The two teams went scoreless through the first quarter, as Bucknell forced three punts and stuffed a Colgate run on 4th-and-1 at the Bison 39-yard line. The offense was unable to take advantage, however, as Bucknell started two of its first three drives inside its own 10. The lone turnover in the game came on Colgate’s second punt, which the Bison muffed at midfield.

The Bison saw one of their better offensive possessions at the start of the second quarter with Brown leading the team on a 14-play drive that included a 39-yard pass to Marques Owens and a 23-yard completion to Bennett. Brown also ran for 27 yards on the drive, and Bucknell got down to the Colgate 10, but penalties and an 11-yard loss on a reverse backed the Bison up to the 36 and they were forced to punt.

GAME NOTES

The Raiders eventually made their way onto the scoreboard with 2:31 left to play in the first half, as Brescia rushed for a 5-yard score to cap a 16-play 91-yard drive that chewed nearly eight minutes of game clock. Brescia ended up with 66 yards on 21 carries in the game.

Colgate managed to get the ball back again with 1:17 left in the half and drove another 63 yards on 12 plays, but the Raiders missed a field goal from 35 yards out as time expired and took a 6-0 lead into the locker rooms.

Colgate added to its lead on its second possession of the third quarter after Brescia hit a receiver on a 46-yard pass down to the Bucknell 1-yard line and then ran it in to make it 13-0.

Bucknell cut into the lead on its first drive of the fourth quarter, which included a 14-yard rush by Baker, a 17-yard run by Bennett and a 31-yard completion from Grady to Damian Harris that set the offense up at the Colgate 14. The offense ran 10 more plays in the red zone and eventually punched it in on Baker rush up the middle. It was the sophomore’s fourth touchdown in three games and fifth overall this season.

The Bison got the ball back two more times but was unable to score again. They got as close as the Colgate 41 but were unable to convert on a fourth down and had just 36 seconds left in the game on their final possession.
