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

SEASON PREVIEW
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SELFLESS <<<< ACCOUNTABLE <<<< MENTALLY TOUGH <<<< SCHOLAR-ATHLETES <<<< BAND OF BISON <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
<<< <<< QUARTERBACK >>> >>> Logan Bitikofer is a competitive guy. Bucknell’s presumptive starting quarterback hates to lose, and head coach Joe Susan joked his foursome’s disappointing second-place finish at the annual Bud Ranck-Tom Gadd Kickoff Classic golf tournament has only fueled his fire going into preseason camp. “Logan is a unique athlete,” Susan said. “He’s going to win the bowling tournament. He’s going to win the golf tournament. He’s going to win the basketball game. He’s confident, and he’s a competitor. He wants to win at everything he does, and he believes he can because he has the tools to do so.” The Bison’s 2017 QUARTERBACK Career Offensive Scout Team Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts Player of the Year, Bitikofer 12 Logan Bitikofer So. 6-3 200 boasts a big arm backed 4 John Chiarolanzio Jr. 6-3 190 8 (2) up by an imposing 6-foot-3, 10 Tarrin Earle Fr. 6-3 185 200-pound frame. During 15 Renn Lints Fr. 6-3 190 the spring, the sophomore 18 Jake Wilson Jr. 6-2 210 impressed the coaching Note: Number listed in parenthesis indicates a streak of consecutive starts staff with his poise, under5 on roster: 2 juniors, 1 sophomore, 2 freshmen standing of the offense and ability to make the right decisions under fire. While more of a drop-back quarterback who has the arm strength to find receivers down the field and the accuracy to find them in the slot through traffic, he can also run the ball when called upon. “Coming out of the spring, Logan proved he can start,” Susan said. “He showed savvy and development in his ability to run our offense instead of the scout-team offense. He’s accurate, has a strong arm and does a good job making time for himself from an athletic standpoint.” Bitikofer will be challenged for the starting job by John Chiarolanzio, who has started eight career games under center. Chiarolanzio, a dual-threat gunslinger, enters his junior year with 1,433 yards and six touchdowns on 146for-277 passing. In 2017, he threw three touchdown passes of at least 35 yards, including a 64-yard scoring heave at Cornell. He also completed a 76-yard pass against NCAA FCS Tournament participant Monmouth. “John is still in the competition to start,” Susan said. “He’s a driven young man who understands the things he has to improve upon. He came a long way in the spring, and he’ll continue to work hard to put himself into contention for the starting position.” Junior Jake Wilson and freshmen Tarrin Earle and Renn Lints give Bucknell significant depth at quarterback. “Quarterback is as competitive and as talented as we’ve had it,” Susan said. “Jake is a confident young man who believes he can start here. We’re also fortunate to have two talented freshmen in Tarrin and Renn who might be able to help us right away.”
<<< <<< RUNNING BACK >>> >>> With Chad Freshnock and Marquis Carter, Bucknell could prove dangerous on the ground in 2018. “For the size of backs they are, Chad and Marquis have exceptional speed,” Susan said. “That makes them dangerous, and it’s important to have a strong running game in the Patriot League. Beyond that, they’ve both proven to be effective blockers and receivers. Their repetitions in the running game are what people think about, but their repetitions in protection and in our passing game are just as critical. They’re capable of helping us in many facets of our offense.” For the past two years, Freshnock backed up Joey DeFloria, who became the 10th Bison to surpass 1,000 rushing yards in a single season during the 2016 campaign and graduated with 1,653 rushing yards and 432 receiving yards. When DeFloria was hampered by injury in 2017, Freshnock stepped up, leading the Bison with 525 yards on the ground. A big, physical back who can run by or over defenders, the junior showed flashes of greatness in Bucknell’s 2017 Homecoming game against rival Lehigh. He shredded the Mountain Hawk defense, rushing for 174 yards on 16 carries. He also became the first Bison
ALAN BUTLER since 2014 to score three RUNNING BACK Career rushing touchdowns in Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts a single contest, one of 35 Marquis Carter So. 6-0 210 which was an 85-yard 21 Jared Cooper Fr. 5-7 175 scamper good for fifth in 20 Chad Freshnock Jr. 6-0 220 5 (0) 29 Alex Jones Fr. 6-0 200 Bucknell’s history. “Chad is going to be a 4 on roster: 1 junior, 1 sophomore, 2 freshmen very important part of our offense’s success,” Susan said. “Last year, he took a big step in terms of his leadership ability and his ability to contribute to what we want to do offensively. I’m excited to see him take on an expanded role this year.” As a freshman, Carter made the most of his limited action. Against Monmouth, he became the first member his class to find the end zone, rushing for a three-yard score. At Lafayette, he set seven career highs, including in rushing yards (31) and receiving yards (18). He ultimately wrapped up the year with 50 yards on 28 carries. “Marquis is a big, powerful runner,” Susan said. “He likes to run downhill, and he’s very explosive. He’ll give us a one-two punch at running back.” Susan said freshmen Jared Cooper and Alex Jones, who both excelled in multiple sports in high school, will also see game action.
<<< <<< WIDE RECEIVER >>> >>> Bucknell has options at wide receiver, and Susan believes the fierce competition for playing time will make it one of his team’s most dynamic positions. “The competition at receiver is going to be some of the best we’ve ever had here,” Susan said. “All nine of our receivers will get repetitions during camp, and all nine have a chance to contribute. We’ll also cross train these guys in a lot of positions, which will make us better as a team.” Leading the way is Alan Butler, a senior who ranks second in his class with 20 career starts. Butler, who surpassed 200 receiving yards each of the past three seasons, enters 2018 with 669 yards and two touchdowns on 60 career receptions. “Alan has played a lot of football and made a lot of big plays for us,” Susan said. “He’s a big receiver compared to other Patriot League receivers. He’s not a blazer, but his strength helps him beat the defenders who are trying to cover him. He uses his body well to create space for himself. Beyond that, he has excellent hands, great route definition and significant rapport with our quarterbacks. But

<<< <<< TIGHT END/FULLBACK >>> >>> Like they do at running back, the Bison boast a solid one-two punch at tight end. And, with this being their last season in Lewisburg, Marcus Ademilola and Andrew Owers are ready to make it their best yet. “We’re fortunate to return TIGHT END Career two seniors who are very Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts talented and have played 88 Marcus Ademilola Sr. 6-4 230 4 (1) a lot of football for us,” 87 Dylan DeMarco Fr. 6-4 225 Susan said. “Because of 85 John Reedy Jr. 6-3 240 their size and strength, 45 Alex Twiford So. 6-3 250 6 (0) and because they can FULLBACK play attached, detached 48 Maanik Lal So. 6-0 190 and in the backfield, 80 Andrew Owers Sr. 6-3 240 15 (0) we can create match6 on roster: 2 seniors, 1 junior, 2 sophomores, 1 freshman up issues for opposing defenses. They’re going to be hard to defend, and they’re going to be critical to our offense because of that.” Owers has battled injuries over the past two seasons, limiting him to 15 of Bucknell’s 22 games in that time. The hybrid tight end/fullback enters 2018 with 569 career receiving yards, 386 of which came during his freshman campaign. “Andrew is one of the better athletes on our team,” Susan said. “He’s an excellent receiver who can catch the ball in traffic. If he can stay healthy, he’ll be an important part of our offense.”
Ademilola enjoyed a breakout junior year, leading the Bison in receptions (32) and finishing fourth in receiving yards (233). In Bucknell’s final three games, he racked up 157 yards and hauled in a 36-yard touchdown pass against Georgetown. Susan said Ademilola could have a similar impact on the offense as Andrew Podbielski, who graduated with 537 career receiving yards and 30 starts, including 23 in a row from 2014 to 2017. “It’s hard to replace a guy like Andrew,” Susan said. “He was a guy who could do everything. He took pride in his blocking and was also an effective receiver. He gave a workman-like effort every repetition. If Marcus keeps the weight he has gained, he can be that guy.” Beyond Owers and Ademilola, Alex Twiford will also see plenty of action in 2018. A year ago as a freshman, he started six of his 10 games and totaled 61 receiving yards on six catches. “When people look at him, they see an attached tight end,” Susan said. “But he’s more than athletic enough to play in space. His hands are also great, and he works hard to be able to both block and catch the ball. He’s going to wind up being an excellent player in the Patriot League.”
<<< <<< OFFENSIVE LINE >>> >>> As a former offensive lineman at the University of Delaware, Susan knows success in the trenches, more often than not, comes with experience. “At this level, one of the most important things an offensive line can have is birthdays,” Susan said. “Last year, our offensive line was very young, and they had to learn by experience. They battled some great defensive players in our practices and also learned by fire in playing against our opponents. Everything went into their experience bank, and they gained a greater understanding of how to work together in combination blocking, man blocking and protections.” A year ago, the Bison not only had to replace All-American Julién Davenport, now a member of the Houston Texans. They also had to find replacements for four other starters from a group that featured just two players, Chase Watkins and Pat Finn, with game experience. By the end of the campaign, seven different Bison had started in the trenches, including four sophomores and one freshman. While Susan is the first to admit the offensive line took its lumps in 2017, he believes that experience has set the group up for success this season, which will help Bucknell’s running game in particular rebound. “The starting five is important, but you also need to be able to play your sixth and seventh guys,” Susan said. “We now have depth and possibilities.”

his experience is the biggest thing that will help us.” Justin Bethea is another receiver who can make big plays. Though he struggled with injuries as a sophomore in 2017, he still finished with a career-high 138 receiving yards, 61 of which came on three catches during the season 9 on roster: 1 senior, 4 juniors, 2 sophomores, 2 freshmen finale at Fordham. “When Justin is healthy, he’s shown he has big-play talent,” Susan said. “He’s a long and tall receiver, which gives him an advantage against the secondaries we typically face in the Patriot League. He also has excellent leaping ability and very good speed.” Mike Balzofiore, a junior who can burn opposing defenses with his straightline speed, and John McGuire, a hard-working sophomore who impressed Susan during the spring, enter camp as Butler and Bethea’s backups. In 2017, Balzofiore totaled 41 of his 47 receiving yards at Colgate while McGuire was named Bucknell’s Special Teams Scout Team Player of the Year. “Mike, when healthy, can be an effective receiver, particularly in the slot,” Susan said. “John made every repetition he had during the spring worthwhile, and he evolved into an effective receiver by putting in that work.” Waiting in the wings are juniors Stefone Moore-Green and Steven Walier and sophomore Blais Herman. Moore-Green, an undersized speedster who played running back in 2017, will be mostly utilized as a slot receiver while Walier and Herman each stand over 6-foot tall and could be seen in a variety of different packages. Freshmen Dominic Lyles and Brandon Sanders, who Susan called “two of the better receivers we’ve recruited,” will challenge the returnees ahead of them on the depth chart. “Dominic and Brandon are going to be special players on our team and in the Patriot League,” Susan said. “It’s going to be exciting to watch them develop, and I could see them both making an immediate impact.” WIDE RECEIVER Career Cl.

Entering camp, sophomore Justis Peppers (left tackle), junior Erik Lukner (left guard), Finn (center), sophomore Simon Krizak (right guard) and junior Noah Stephenson (right tackle) are listed as the starters. Sophomore P.J. Barr, who started 2017’s final eight games, and senior Derek Bastinck, who was named Bucknell’s Most Improved Offensive Player during spring ball, are also in the mix to start. “We’re excited to have six guys who have started for us,” Susan said. “Our challenge will be to put them in the right positions, and we may shift some guys around during the preseason. We’re also excited to see Justis and Simon enter our lineup. Justis has the athletic ability to be a left tackle in our league while Simon is a physical force at 6-foot-4 and 305 pounds.” Preseason All-Patriot OFFENSIVE LINE Career League selection Finn Cl.

He’s definitely come into his own as a leader, and we’re glad to have him on our side.” Junior Chuck Sanders can play all of the positions and will be a valuable backup, particularly at center. In addition, four talented freshmen will provide always needed depth.
<<< <<< DEFENSIVE LINE >>> >>> Bucknell’s defensive line will have a radically different look in 2018. With All-American Abdullah Anderson, the 2017 Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year, lost to graduation, Bison fans can expect to see changes in both personnel and schemes. “Abdullah started 43 games for us, missing only DEFENSIVE LINE Career one due to injury, and he Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts had a tremendous impact 94 Simon Behr So. 6-4 230 on our defense for four 40 Ryan Betz Fr. 6-3 255 50 Grayson Cherubino Fr. 6-4 240 years,” Susan said. “His 90 Mike Colantuono So. 6-2 230 statistics don’t tell his full 92 Brandon Crkvenac Fr. 6-4 250 story, and there’s a reason 30 Blake Fletcher Jr. 6-1 225 5 (0) the Chicago Bears picked 44 Luke Hamper Fr. 6-3 230 him up as a free agent. He 55 John Hunt Jr. 6-0 295 was basically unblockable, 91 Alex Jordan Sr. 6-1 290 2 (0) and opposing offenses 47 Roger Mellado So. 6-1 230 6 (6) were forced to always take 99 Clay Myers So. 6-1 275 89 Sean Naiman Jr. 6-3 220 him into account. Whenev38 Joe Schiano Sr. 6-2 230 er they double teamed him, 46 Daniel Sheehan Fr. 6-2 230 they left other guys open, 42 Jimmy Sheehan Jr. 6-2 245 and that had an impact on 59 Nnamdi Unachukwu So. 6-7 230 our pressure schemes and 97 Nick Zarkoski Sr. 6-5 245 7 (0) led to other guys making 17 on roster: 3 seniors, 4 juniors, 5 sophomores, 5 freshmen big impacts. As we move away from what we did
JOE LAURO as a defense when we had Abdullah, our movement and quickness with our defensive line and ‘X’ position will play to our advantage.” Entering camp, sophomore Roger Mellado (anchor), junior Jimmy Sheehan (defensive tackle), sophomore Clay Myers (nose guard) and junior Sean Naiman (defensive end) are listed as the starters. Senior Joe Schiano, juniors John Hunt and Blake Fletcher and sophomores Simon Behr and Nnamdi Unachukwu are also in the mix to earn significant playing time. Of that group, only Mellado, Fletcher and Hunt have appeared in at least 10 games. Mellado impressed as a freshman, stepping into a starting role in week six and finishing with 16 tackles and three tackles for a loss. Fletcher, a former starter, and Hunt, an important role player, have battled injuries of late but could make an impact if they stay healthy. “The depth of our defensive line, both outside and inside, is going to be critical if we want to keep people fresh and disrupt opposing offense,” Susan said. “You can’t play with just four, and our ability to rotate is an important part of how we play defensively because we ask them to play at a fast pace.” Seniors Alex Jordan and Nick Zarkoski, both former starters, enter camp injured. A timeline on their return is unknown.
<<< <<< LINEBACKER >>> >>> For three years, Mark Pyles and Ben Richard patrolled the field at linebacker, wreaking havoc on opposing offenses. The dynamic duo combined for 486 tackles (262 solo), 45.5 tackles for a loss and 17.5 sacks, each starting more than 30 games and earning three All-Patriot League citations. “Replacing Mark and Ben will be challenging,” Susan said. “They complimented each other so well. Mark was one of the smarter defensive players we’ve ever had, and Ben was the firebrand—very physical, athletic and aggressive. Just like Abdullah, you don’t really replace those guys so we’ll have a different look at linebacker. This year, we’re often going to have three linebackers on the field, a ‘Mike,’ a ‘Sam’ and the ‘X.’” The “X,” who Susan believes will take Anderson’s place as the X factor on Bucknell’s defense, is sophomore Simeon Page. Page exploded onto the scene as a freshman, setting a Bison rookie record with nine sacks and adding 46 tackles (29 solo) and a team-high 13 tackles for a loss. In the season finale at Fordham, he posted six tackles for a loss of 33 yards, four sacks for a loss of 27 yards and one forced fumble in the red zone; his four sacks tied a Bison record last equaled in 1998 while his six tackles for a loss were the most registered by

<<< <<< SAFETY >>> >>> On the defensive side of the ball, safety is one of Bucknell’s deepest and most experienced positions. The Bison return six safeties with starting experience, including four seniors in Joe Lauro, Drew Newcomb, Chanse Riley and Brice Sydnor. Of that group, Lauro boasts the most experience, starting 17 of his 27 career games. Nicknamed “Kamikaze” for his hard-hitting play, he battled injuries as a junior but still finished fourth among Bison with 58 tackles (36 solo) in eight games. Overall, he’s racked up 149 career tackles (96 solo). “Joe’s a ballistic hitter,” Susan said. “He’s a physical, aggressive player who will be critical to our defense’s success if he can stay healthy. He’s played all three safety positions for us, but he’s a natural deep safety, and that’s where he’ll start the year.” Newcomb, a Lewisburg native who hails from a long line of Bucknellians, is more of a cerebral player. After spending his first two years on special teams, he broke into the safety rotation in 2017 and started five of his 10 games. His biggest moment came at Lafayette when he opened the scoring by returning his
DREW NEWCOMB first career interception 31 yards for a touchdown. “Drew has taken on a leadership role,” Susan SAFETY Career said. “He has an impres Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts 36 Brandon Benson So. 6-0 190 6 (6) sive mind for the game 31 Joe Fex So. 5-9 185 and is a true student of 17 Sam Hildebrand Fr. 5-11 185 it.

Like Lauro, both battled injuries in 2017; Riley started Bucknell’s first five games before losing the season while Sydnor missed the month of October. “It’s time for those guys,” Susan said. “They’re both seniors, and it’ll be interesting to see who emerges from their competition.” Susan expects sophomores Brandon Benson and Gerrit Van Itallie to also emerge as key contributors. A year ago, Van Itallie was a key special teams player while Benson started the final six games at weak safety and took third among Bison with 68 tackles (32 solo). Susan had especially high praise for Benson, who he believes “can be just as good as Clay Ewell,” the 2015 Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year.
<<< <<< CORNERBACK >>> >>> Bryan Marine has something to prove. And that doesn’t bode well for the Patriot League’s wide receivers. In 2016, Marine became the first Bison cornerback to capture All-Patriot League accolades since 2011 All-American Bryce Robertson after totaling 54 tackles (39 solo), 13 pass breakups and two interceptions. Though he made just four fewer tackles a year ago, his number of pass breakups slid to five, and he failed to make his second-straight all-league squad. “Bryan had very good freshman and sophomore years,” Susan said. “In his mind, he didn’t have a good junior year. For his senior year, he challenged himself to be the best cornerback in our league, and he could definitely be the best cornerback in our league.” With seven career interceptions, Marine enters 2018 needing just three to

an FCS player in a single game during the 2017 campaign. “Like Abdullah, Simeon is LINEBACKER Career a guy who can potentially Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts be defined as unblockable,” 51 Ryan Brida So. 5-11 200 Susan said. “As a senior in 49 Max Bunzel Fr. 5-10 205 high school, he was a state 41 Sam Chitty Jr. 6-0 210 1 (0) champion 220-pound wres34 Jon Fox Jr. 6-0 195 4 (0) tler, and his knowledge 43 Cole McCabe Fr. 5-11 210 of leverage has benefited 52 Rick Mottram So. 6-1 220 him as a football player. 7 Simeon Page So. 6-0 225 5 (4) 32 Matt Robinson Sr. 6-0 220 He’s one of the strongest 8 on roster: 1 senior, 2 juniors, 3 sophomores, 2 freshmen guys on our team, and he’s incredibly explosive. As a freshman, he was very effective in some of our pressure schemes, and we’re excited to have him take on an expanded role.” The “X” is a hybrid position, a mix of a defensive lineman and linebacker. It’s a natural position for Page, who prefers to play out of a two-point stance and combines the strength and explosiveness of a defensive lineman with the agility and athleticism of a linebacker. “There will be times he has the responsibilities of a defensive lineman and times he has the responsibilities of a linebacker,” Susan said. “That creates a dilemma for opposing offenses. Do they see him as a defensive lineman? Or do they see him as a linebacker? In most cases, when people see him as linebacker, they’re not going to double team him. And that’s advantage Simeon.” At “Mike” and “Sam,” senior Matt Robinson and junior Sam Chitty are projected to start. While Robinson has yet to start, he leads his class with 30 career games played and has been a valuable backup and member of special teams. Chitty has mostly been utilized on special teams to date, though he did start at the “Sam” position in the place of an injured Pyles during his freshman year. “Both Matt and Sam have played a lot of football for us,” Susan said. “While a lot of that has come in a backup role or on special teams, they’ve been very effective in everything we’ve asked them to do. With Matt being a senior, he took on a leadership role in the spring. Sam did the same. You can’t replace Mark and Ben, but these two are going to do an outstanding job in their own right. Both are very athletic and had outstanding springs.” Susan also anticipates that junior Jon Fox, a former strong safety who started three games in 2017 before losing the season to injury, will make an impact at linebacker. “Like Matt and Sam, Jon has played a lot of football for us,” Susan said. “It will be interesting to see how he transitions to a new position. At linebacker, you want a pair and a spare, and we think Jon can be our spare.”

BRYAN MARINE crack Bucknell’s top eight. He also boasts 157 tackles (123 solo), 30 defended passes, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 29 games, a class of 2019 best 24 of which were starts. 6 on roster: 2 seniors, 1 junior, 1 sophomore, 2 freshmen “The best cornerbacks are guys who could be receivers, and Bryan could be a very good receiver,” Susan said. “We play a lot more man to man now, and he can run the routes with the receivers. He has shown the ability to take our opponents’ boundary receiver out of the game.” While the Bison need to replace Colin Jonov, a 2017 All-Patriot League Second Team honoree who most notably returned an interception 95 yards for the game-winning score in overtime at Lafayette, Susan believes long-time backup Fisayo Oluleye is ready to start. Oluleye is tied with Robinson for first among seniors with 30 career games under his belt; in those games, mostly spent on special teams and in rotation at cornerback, he registered 26 tackles (16 solo) and one interception. “Fisayo’s evolution as a cornerback is going to help us defensively,” Susan said. “He’s a big, strong kid who’s very athletic. This spring, he took a step in his understanding of the game, and we believe that will make him an even more important contributor.” Junior Mike Caruso and sophomore Eric Butler will be challenged for the backup jobs by Texas-born freshmen Sterling Deary and Micah Dennis, who Susan said could be “exceptional” players for Bucknell in the future.

<<< <<< SPECIAL TEAMS >>> >>> Alex Pechin cemented his status as one of the nation’s elite punters in 2017. With a punting average of 45.1, he finished third among FCS punters and shattered his own school record by three full yards. Of his 72 punts, tied for second in Bucknell’s history, 34 landed inside the 20, 26 sailed for at least 50 yards and 22 went for fair catches; in the season finale at Fordham, he averaged a staggering 50.9 yards per punt, bolstered by the sixth- (67) and ninth- (64) longest punts in the Bison annals. “Having a weapon like Alex changes the field,” Susan said. “He can kick a 70-yarder, and he can put you down inside the one-yard line. College football is still a field-position game, and winning the field-position battle increases your
chances of winning.” PUNTERS/KICKERS Career Susan also praised the Cl. Ht. Wt.

He’s mastered punting on the run. He’s always had a tremendous leg. When we had NFL scouts on campus to watch Julién and Abdullah, they all stopped to watch Alex when they heard the sound the ball made coming off his foot. It’s something else, and the ball always skyrockets.” Sophomore Ethan Torres will again handle kickoffs in 2018. With John Burdick, who matched Bucknell’s school record with 14 field goals a year ago, lost to graduation, he will also take over placekicking duties. Torres’s fellow sophomore Mike Colantuono will handle snapping. Butler and Marine are expected to take both kickoff and punt returns. Freshnock and Moore-Green, who led the Bison with 388 kickoff return yards in 2017, will also be utilized as kickoff returners. Susan acknowledged that Bucknell, which ranked near the bottom of the Patriot League in both categories a season ago, must improve its return game.
<<< <<< OUTLOOK >>> >>> Because of coaching changes and the number of key players lost to graduation across the board, the Patriot League could prove one of the FSC’s most competitive conferences in 2018. “There’s uncertainty in the Patriot League right now, and every team will be trying to take advantage of that,” Susan said. “Our players and staff approach the ‘one day at a time’ concept the right way. They don’t live in the past, nor do they get bent up about the future. They live in a moment. They understand the importance of taking advantage of every opportunity we’re given.” Bucknell should be able to make the most of its opportunities. With an offense that projects to be much improved and a defense that has the pieces it needs to be as effective as ever, the Bison could surprise their opponents. Defense has long been Bucknell’s strength, and Susan is confident his mix of returning veterans, hungry former reserves and talented underclassmen will uphold its tradition of excellence. The Bison have now led the Patriot League in total defense six of the past seven seasons, including five years in a row from 2011 to 2015. Last year, they finished fourth nationally in passing defense (148.3) and 11th in total defense (294.6). While Susan is the first to admit replacing Anderson, Pyles and Richard will be challenging, he believes players like Marine, Lauro and Page are game changers in their own right. “Defense is what we’re known for at Bucknell,” Susan said. “Our defense takes pride in shutting down our opponents, and they’ve done that year after year. We’ve been fortunate to have players like Abdullah, Clayton and Evan [Byers, the 2014 Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year]. But we’ve also been fortunate to have strong role players who can fit what we want to do. We thrive when we take away our opponents’ run game and force them to pass, and we’ll utilize or quickness and speed in terms of movement and pressure.” While the Bison struggled to score at times in 2017, particularly during Patriot League play, Susan said having a more experienced offensive line will help both the running game and passing game flourish. At the same time, Bucknell returns more talent on that side of the ball than it has in recent years. “We return a lot of talent and experience on offense,” Susan said. “So there’s more competition for playing time at every position than we’ve ever seen. The evolution of what we can do offensively is so important to our team having success, and this competition will only help us.”

• Pyles and WR Jack Horan captured CoSIDA Academic All-District II honors in 2017. Horan, also a 2016 academic all-district honoree, was the third Bison this decade to twice capture this award, joining LB Tim Bolte (‘11 & ‘10) and RB Matt DelMauro (‘14 & ‘15). At least one Bison has received this distinction 15 of the 18 seasons since 2000, including the past four in a row. The Bucknell football program also boasts 24 national Academic All-Americans, with the most recent being DelMauro (1st team) in 2015.
• Bucknell returns three All-Patriot League players in CB Bryan Marine (1st in ‘16), LB Simeon Page (2nd in ‘17) and Pechin (1st in ‘17 & ‘15). The Bison lost six of their eight 2017 all-league honorees: Anderson, also the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year, K John Burdick, CB Colin Jonov, LB Mark Pyles, LB Ben Richard and OL Chase Watkins.

JOE SUSAN Bob Odell Head Coach 9th Season at Bucknell Delaware ’78
In his first eight years on the Bison sideline, Joe Susan has certainly impacted the culture of the program. He and his staff strive to recruit strong citizens to Bucknell and work to develop them into even better people by the time they graduate. His staff and players work to emulate the primary philosophy of the program in being selfless, accountable and mentally tough. With his efficient coaching style and zest for recruiting, it didn’t take long for Susan to make an impact at Bucknell. In just his second season at the helm, he led the Bison to a five-win improvement, equaling the program record. He has now overseen three above-.500 records in the past seven years, including the program’s best showing in nearly two decades. In 2014, Bucknell reached the eight-win plateau for just the fifth time in school history and was in contention for an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament heading into the season finale against Colgate. The Bison, who posted an 8-3 overall record, ultimately finished second in the Patriot League. For his efforts, Susan became Bucknell’s first Patriot League Coach of the Year since Tom Gadd in 1997 and was also a finalist for the Eddie Robinson FCS Coach of the Year Award. In 2016, Susan coached Bucknell’s first NFL Draft pick since 1969 in offensive lineman Julién Davenport. Davenport, the fourth-round selection of the Houston Texans, became the seventh Bison to be taken in the NFL Draft and the program’s second-highest selection. In 2018, defensive lineman Abdullah Anderson joined Davenport in the NFL after signing a free-agent contract with the Chicago Bears. Entering the 2018 campaign, Susan is tied for sixth in Bucknell history with 37 victories and stands third in games coached (88). He is 47-51 in his career as a head coach, which included a 10-0 season at Davidson. Under Susan’s watch, the Bison defense has consistently being among the FCS’s best. In 2017, Bucknell was slotted fourth nationally in passing defense (148.3) and 11th in total defense (294.6). The Bison have led the Patriot League in total defense six of the past seven seasons, including five years in a row from 2011 to 2015. One of Susan’s favorite sayings, “The Ball is the Program,” focuses on limiting and creating turnovers, both of which has factored into the defense’s tremendous success. In Susan’s tenure, the Bison have captured a total of 64 All-Patriot League citations. Notably, Davenport (2013-16) and Anderson (2014-17) joined Bucknell Athletics Hall of
Fame member Rich Lemon (1993-96) as the program’s only four-time All-Patriot League honorees over that span. In addition, Anderson (2017), Clayton Ewell (2015) and Evan Byers (2014) were voted as the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year while Brandon Wesley captured 2010 Rookie of the Year accolades. The Bison have also excelled in the classroom. Alex Pechin (2017), Matt DelMauro (2015), Tim Bolte (2011) and Travis Nissley (2010) were voted as the Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year while Bucknell paced the Patriot League with a program-record 48 Academic Honor Roll selections in 2017. That total represented nearly 57 percent of the team’s roster and led the league by 10. A veteran of nearly 40 years in the college coaching profession, Susan was named the Bob Odell Head Football Coach at Bucknell on January 27, 2010. The 26th head coach since the Bison began play in 1883, he took over a team that would later become the 19th FCS program to reach the 600-win plateau with a thrilling 13-7 overtime victory at Lafayette on October 21, 2017. Susan, a 1978 graduate of the University of Delaware, served near-decade-long stints at Bucknell (1981-1990), Princeton (1991-1999) and Rutgers (2001-2009) before becoming the Bison head coach. He has had tenures at both the FBS (Rutgers, Memphis) and FCS (Bucknell, Princeton, Davidson) levels. Susan returned to Bucknell from Rutgers, where he spent the previous nine years as an assistant coach on Greg Schiano’s staff. Schiano, a three-time letterwinner at Bucknell who was recruited by Susan, served as co-captain as a senior in 1987. At Rutgers, Susan spent two years as the offensive line coach before adding tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator to his duties in 2003. As recruiting coordinator, he was integral in securing several highly touted and nationally ranked recruiting classes, including the 2009 group, which was ranked in the top 25 nationally by ESPN.com. While his main recruiting areas were Central New Jersey, Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Florida, Delaware and Canada, he directed Rutgers’ national efforts. Before Susan’s arrival, the Scarlet Knights had not posted a record above .500 for nearly a decade and had qualified for one bowl game in 131 years of football. In 2009, Rutgers played in its fifth-consecutive bowl game and finished 9-4. Susan directed a deep corps of tight ends during his tenure at Rutgers that included former three-time All-Big East selection Clark Harris, a 2007 seventh-round draft choice of the Green Bay Packers. In 2017, Harris completed his 10th NFL season as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. Before his time at Rutgers, Susan spent one year as the head coach at Davidson in 2000. He led the Wildcats to a 10-0 record, a single-season record for wins and the only undefeated mark in program history. Susan was named the Coach of the Year by the Division I-AA Independents Sports Information Directors Association. Additionally, he received a Presidential Citation from the University of Delaware for outstanding achievement. At Princeton, Susan served as both the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for nearly a decade. In addition to recruiting duties at the Ivy League institution, he organized and implemented year-round strength and conditioning programs, developed and coordinated the spring football clinic and coordinated travel plans for away games. Susan’s initial tour of duty at Bucknell began in June 1981. From 1981 through 1988, he was in charge of the offensive line and served as strength coach under head coaches Bob Curtis and George Landis. When Lou Maranzana was hired as head coach prior to the 1989 campaign, Susan was promoted to assistant head coach while keeping his duties with the offensive line. Susan’s first foray into the coaching profession came at his alma mater, where he was a graduate assistant on two separate occasions, separated by a one-year stint at Gettysburg College. Susan enjoyed an outstanding playing career at Delaware (1973-76), helping his team post a 36-12-1 record. The 1976 Newark Touchdown Club Offensive Lineman of the Year, he helped the Blue Hens capture two Lambert Cups (1974, 1976) and reach the 1974 NCAA Division II national championship game. In addition to a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Delaware, Susan earned his master’s in physical education with an emphasis in exercise physiology from his alma mater in 1982. A native of South River, New Jersey, Susan was inducted into his high school’s Hall of Fame in 2014. Off the field, Susan is a member of the American Football Coaches Association, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the University of Delaware Alumni Association and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. He is presently serving as the President of the FCS Executive Committee of the American Football Coaches Association. Susan and his wife, Cindy, have three adult children: Matthew, Jessica and Julia.

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 team in the Eastern United States. 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.

GAME NOTES • With its win over Marist, Bucknell improves to 92-39-1 in season openers and 97-33-1 in home openers. • The Bison won their seven-straight season opener and moved to 7-1 in their first game under head coach Joe Susan. • Bucknell last scored 45 points in a game on Oct. 11, 2014, a 45-24 victory at Lehigh. The Bison’s margin of victory was their largest since Oct. 6, 2001, a 51-10 win over Towson. • WR Kyle Kinner and WR Steven Walier each caught his first touchdown pass. Walier’s 45-yard touchdown score was also his first career reception. • Before WR Jack Horan found TE Andrew Podbielski for a two-point conversion in the first quarter, Bucknell last passed for a two-point conversion on Oct. 17, 2015 at Army West Point (R.J. Nitti to Andrew Owers). • CB Colin Jonov, who missed 2016 due to injury, returned an interception 64 yards for a score on Marist’s first drive. It was his fifth career interception. • Before DE Blake Fletcher recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown, the last Bison to return a fumble for a touchdown was Matt Johnson in a 35-23 victory at VMI on Nov. 23, 2013. • In their last four meetings with Marist, Bucknell has only allowed 16 points. The Bison blanked the Red Foxes in their 2014 (22-0) and 2015 (17-0) contests and won the 2016 meeting by a 26-10 margin.
The Bucknell football team kicked off its 2017 campaign with a commanding 45-6 victory over Marist on a rainy night at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in front of 3,024 fans. The Bison broke open the game early, scoring four touchdowns in the first quarter, including three in the final two minutes of the frame. Their performance on the field set the stage for a rousing post-game fireworks show. With 8:58 on the clock in the first quarter, Colin Jonov opened the scoring, picking off a Mike White pass and racing 64 yards down the Marist sideline for the score. After a bad snap on the extra point attempt, Jack Horan corralled the ball and found Andrew Podbielski in the right corner of the end zone to give Bucknell an 8-0 lead. The Bison scored three touchdowns in the final two minutes of the opening stanza to build a 28-0 advantage. First, after a 4:11 drive during which Bucknell went 3-for-3 in third-down conversions, Matt Muh connected with Kyle Kinner for an 11-yard score. On Marist’s next possession, Nick Zarkoski sacked White deep in the Marist end. The ball came free, and Blake Fletcher pounced on it in the end zone to extend the Bison’s lead to 21-0. Steven Walier put an exclamation mark on the quarter by hauling in a 45-yard touchdown pass with no time left on the clock. Bucknell carried the momentum from its explosive opening stanza into the second quarter. After the Bison defense forced the Red Foxes to go three and out on their first drive, a penalty on the punt gave the offense the ball on the Marist 28. Bucknell took advantage, and Chad Freshnock capped the abbreviated drive with a three-yard touchdown rush. The Red Foxes thwarted the Bison’s shutout bid 29 seconds before halftime after one of the longest drives of the game. Marcelleus Calhoun finished off the drive, which accounted for 97 of Marist’s 119 first-half yards, with a four-yard score. As the rain picked up, both team’s defenses took center stage. The teams combined for just 156 yards of total offense in the second half, 121 of which belonged to Bucknell. The third quarter’s lone score, a 31-yard John Burdick field goal, came with just 51 seconds left on the clock. Freshnock completed the game’s scoring at the 3:29 mark of the finale frame with his second touchdown rush of the game. Leading up to that play, Muh found a wide-open Podbielski for a 31-yard gain on a 3rd and 7 to set the Bison up on the Marist 15. Muh completed 16 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with seven different receivers. Podbielski led the Bison with a career-best 60 receiving yards while Joey DeFloria had the most catches with four. The Bison defense limited Marist to just 154 yards of total offense, including 24 on the ground. Mark Pyles led the way with eight tackles (five solo) while Ben Richard was close behind with seven (six solo). Eight different Bison had a tackle for a loss, with Abdullah Anderson, Fletcher and Pyles each recording two. Four Bison—Fletcher, Simeon Page, Richard and Zarkoski—had a sack. Alex Pechin helped tilt the field in Bucknell’s favor, averaging 47.0 yards per punt. He dropped three inside the 20 and had two touchbacks.

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

GAME NOTES • QB Matt Muh finished with 155 yards on 15-for-20 passing while QB John Chiarolanzio entered the game in the fourth quarter and went 7-for-11 for 48 yards. • WR Jack Horan led the team in receiving yards (69) while RB Joey DeFloria paced the Bison on the ground (62). • Defensively, S Chanse Riley and S Jon Fox tied for the team lead with eight tackles. LB Mark Pyles was close behind with seven. • CB Bryan Marine blocked the extra point on William & Mary’s first third-quarter touchdown. He is the first Bison to block an extra point since DL Alex Jordan blocked one against Holy Cross on Nov. 14, 2015. • At halftime, the Bison held advantages in passing yards (141-40) and total yards (184-121). The Tribe went on to outgain Bucknell, 160-42, in the second half. • William & Mary held a decisive lead in sacks (6-0). Six different players recorded those sacks. • There was only one turnover in the contest: the fumble S Corey Parker returned 16 yards for William & Mary’s second third-quarter touchdown. • This was Bucknell and William & Mary’s first meeting since 1996. That year, the Bison (Patriot League) and Tribe (Yankee Conference) went on to win conference championships. • William & Mary improved to 5-0 all-time against Bucknell.
William & Mary used an explosive third quarter to down the Bucknell football team, 30-9, at Walter J. Zable Stadium in the first meeting between the teams since 1996. At halftime, the Bison (1-2) trailed by a single point, 10-9, but the Tribe (2-1) scored three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter to open up their advantage. On the opening drive of the contest, the Bison marched to the Tribe 24. Early in the drive, Matt Muh connected with Andrew Podbielski for an 11-yard gain and Joey DeFloria scampered for 11 yards on back-to-back plays. But the Bison were ultimately forced to punt after a false start penalty turned a 3rd and 8 into a 3rd and 13 and Isaiah Stephens sacked Muh for a loss of five yards. The Tribe carried the momentum from that defensive stand into their first drive, covering 80 yards on eight plays to score the game’s first touchdown. After Nate Evans broke free for a 34yard rush to set up William & Mary on the Bucknell four-yard line, he capped the drive with a one-yard score. Early in the second quarter, the Tribe had a prime opportunity to go up by two touchdowns after Jalen Christian returned a punt 48 yards to the Bison 20. On the next play, Jaret Anderson nearly found the end zone, but Mark Pyles and Colin Jonov brought him down a single yard short. The Bucknell defense held fast, with Ben Richard stuffing Anderson short of the goal line and Jon Fox wrapping up Evans for a loss of two yards. After Tommy McKee’s pass to Jalen Christian fell incomplete, William & Mary was forced to settle for a 20-yard field goal with 7:22 on the clock. The Bison got on the board on their next drive. On the first play, Muh found Podbielski for a 20-yard gain that brought Bucknell to midfield. While it appeared Nate Akins forced Podbielski to fumble the ball, which was picked up by Aaron Swinton and returned for a touchdown, Podbielski’s knee was ruled to have been down after a review. Three passes later, the Bison were in the red zone. First, Muh found Alan Butler for a 13-yard gain; then, Jack Horan made a sliding catch for a 21-yard gain that advanced Bucknell to the Tribe 16. At the 5:24 mark, Muh found Podbielski in the corner of the end zone for an eight-yard score. Bill Murray blocked the extra point attempt to keep the score 10-6. After the Bison defense forced William & Mary to go three and out on its next drive, three rushes by DeFloria, including one for 19 yards, brought the offense across midfield. Later, Kyle Kinner made a leaping catch for a 31-yard gain that brought Bucknell to the Tribe’s five-yard line. John Burdick capped that drive with a 33-yard field goal after William & Mary stuffed two rushing attempts and a fumbled snap backed the Bison up to the Tribe 16. On William & Mary’s second drive of the third quarter, McKee scrambled out of a collapsing pocket to avoid being sacked. He also drew a face mask penalty, which brought the Tribe from their 26 to their 47. McKee then connected with Daniel Kuzjak for a 29-yard gain that advanced William & Mary to the Bison 24. Three plays later, Noah Giles scampered 15 yards for a score. The Tribe extended their lead to 23-9 less than two minutes later after Nate Atkins forced a fumble, which was returned by Corey Parker 19 yards for a touchdown. William & Mary later brought the score to 30-9 after Tyler Crist capped an eight-play, 60-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown catch with 44 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The third quarter proved to be the difference in the game, as neither team would score again in the fourth.

GAME NOTES • The 46-yard field goal was eight yards longer than K John Burdick’s previous career long. It capped a perfect night for him, as he made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his point-after bids to finish with a career-high 10 points. • P Alex Pechin averaged a career-high 48.4 yards on nine attempts to round out a big night for the Bison kickers. • QB John Chiarolanzio set career highs in passing yards (187), completions (21) and attempts (34) in his first 2017 start. He also matched his career-long rush with a 17-yard run that helped set up RB Chad Freshnock’s fourth-quarter touchdown. • In his first game as one of Bucknell’s captains, RB Joey DeFloria rushed for a season-best 80 yards and two touchdowns. • A trio of Bison reached the double figures in tackles: LB Ben Richard (15), LB Mark Pyles (12) and S Joe Lauro (10). Through the first three games, Bucknell’s single-season high in tackles was eight. • Richard also recovered a fumble while Lauro and S Aaron Brown picked off passes. • Richard made his 200th career tackle during the game while Pechin recorded his 100th career punt. • With the win, their second at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in 2017, the Bison exceeded their home win total from 2016 and 2015.
John Burdick booted a career-best 46-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Bucknell football team to a thrilling 34-31 victory over Sacred Heart at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Joey DeFloria rushed for two touchdowns, Chad Freshnock added another, and John Chiarolanzio threw for 187 yards and a touchdown in his first start of the campaign to help the Bison improve to 2-2. Sacred Heart (2-2) rallied from 14 points down in the fourth quarter and tied the game at 31 apiece when Kevin Duke found Lawrence Nembhard for a 41-yard touchdown with 4:12 remaining in regulation. The Pioneers forced a Bison punt and advanced the ball near midfield, but Ben Richard and Nick Zarkoski teamed up to stuff Duke inches short of a first down on a 4th and 1, giving the Bison a chance to win it. A 24-yard pass from Chiarolanzio to Marcus Ademilola on 3rd-and-8 put the Bison into field goal range, but an incompletion, a one-yard loss and a holding penalty pushed them back to the Sacred Heart 35. Then, Matt Muh, in at quarterback after Chiarolanzio was shaken up, hit Jack Horan for a six-yard gain to the 29 with two seconds remaining. After the Pioneers called two timeouts to ice the kicker, Burdick drilled the 46-yard field goal and sprinted to the opposite end zone in celebration while the bench emptied in pursuit. At the end of the first quarter, Bucknell held a 14-0 advantage. The Bison opened the scoring with 10:45 on the clock when Chiarolanzio found a wide-open Horan for a 38-yard touchdown. Less than two minutes later, after Trevor Fennimore forced a fumble and Ben Richard recovered it at the Sacred Heart 16, DeFloria capped the abbreviated drive with a 12-yard touchdown run. Early in the second quarter, the Bison extended their lead to 17-0 on a 30-yard Burdick field goal. The Pioneers got on the board with 1:38 left in the frame, with Josh Freiria capping a 12-play, 73-yard drive with a 34-yard field goal. Just when it looked like Bucknell would carry a two-touchdown lead into the locker room, Kevin Barry picked off a Chiarolanzio pass and raced 60 yards for a score with just 58 seconds on the clock. The Pioneers carried the momentum from Barry’s pick six into the third quarter, with Ezekiel Ennis returning the opening kickoff 98 yards for a score that tied the game at 17 apiece. On Sacred Heart’s next drive, Aaron Brown intercepted a Duke pass and returned it 19 yards to the Pioneer 13. The Bison took advantage; DeFloria again did the honors, rushing three yards for a score. After the teams traded three and outs, Bucknell took over with 4:39 remaining in the third quarter. Chiarolanzio appeared to hit Alex Twiford for a 48-yard touchdown, but an illegal block in the back penalty brought the ball back to the Sacred Heart 40. The Bison then marched to the red zone, with Chiarolanzio breaking free for a 17-yard gain that brought them to the three-yard line just as time expired in the quarter. Freshnock ultimately punched the ball into the end zone from one yard out 41 seconds into the final fame, giving the Bison a 31-17 lead. The Pioneers cut Bucknell’s edge to a touchdown on their next drive, covering 79 yards in six plays. After Duke found Byron Barney for a 47-yard gain, Eli Terry scampered 11-yards for a score that made it a 31-24 game.

GAME NOTES • QB John Chiarolanzio finished with a career-best 204 yards on 19 for 34 passing. His 76-yard pass was 34 yards longer than his previous career long, set against Colgate in 2016. • WR Jack Horan led the Bison with a career-best 95 yards. His 76-yard reception was five more than his previous career long, set on an 71-yard touchdown catch against Marist on Sept. 3, 2016. • S Brandon Benson led the Bison with a career-best 15 tackles (six solo), matching the team season-high set by LB Ben Richard against Sacred Heart. The freshman also posted Bucknell’s lone sack, forcing a fumble in the process. • Benson’s sack broke a streak of two games without one. • RB Marquis Carter became the first freshman to find the end zone when he rushed for a three-yard score in the fourth quarter. • Entering this game, Bucknell hadn’t allowed 200 rushing yards in 2017. The Bison held Marist (24), Holy Cross (134), William & Mary (176) and Sacred Heart (95) all under 200. • At halftime, Monmouth led Bucknell in total offense, 302155. The Hawks recorded 170 yards on the ground through two quarters, just six shy of the highest total the Bison had allowed in 2017. • DB Mike Basile became Monmouth’s all-time leader in career tackles during the game. The STATS Preseason First Team All-American paced the Hawks with seven tackles.
Monmouth toppled the Bucknell football team, 35-13, in the first meeting between the teams at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Four different Hawks rushed for touchdowns, and Erik Zokouri enjoyed his first career 100yard rushing game, to help Monmouth move to 4-1 on the season. With the loss, Bucknell will enter its bye week 2-3. Monmouth took a 7-0 lead on its first drive, which was highlighted by a 46-yard catch by Jake Powell that advanced the Hawks to the Bison 15. Pete Guerriero capped the six-play, 79-yard drive by punching his way into the end zone from six yards out. In the first quarter, Bucknell’s best opportunity to get on the board came after John Chiarolanzio found a wide-open Jack Horan in the middle of the field for a 76-yard gain. That play, the first of the Bison’s drive, took them from their nine-yard line to the Hawks’ 15. But the Monmouth defense held fast, recording two tackles for a combined loss of six yards to push Bucknell back to the Hawk 21. While Chiarolanzio found Joey DeFloria for a seven-yard gain, the Bison came up nine yards short of a first down and opted to attempt a 31-yard field goal. But a bad snap forced John Burdick to attempt a pass, which was intercepted by Teddy Martinez. Just six seconds into the second quarter, the Hawks extended their lead to 14-0. Reggie White Jr.’s three-yard touchdown reception completed a nine-play, 86-yard drive that began at the 3:58 mark of the first quarter after Bucknell’s failed field goal. During that drive, Zokouri had a 23-yard run and Kenji Bahar completed an 11-yard pass to White Jr., a 19-yard pass to Powell and a 20yard pass to Zokouri. The Bison got on the board at the 10:05 mark of the second quarter. After Bryan Marine jumped in front of a Bahar screen pass and returned it 10 yards to the Monmouth four-yard line, Chiarolanzio found Marcus Ademilola for a three-yard touchdown. The Hawks responded with a touchdown on their next drive. After Zokuri ran the ball fourstraight times for a combined 34 yards, Vinny Grasso broke free for a 39-yard touchdown run with 8:13 on the clock. Bucknell had an opportunity to trim Monmouth’s advantage after Brice Sydnor forced a fumble and Joe Lauro recovered it on the Bison 29 with 2:56 left in the half. On the first play of that drive, DeFloria scampered for an 18-yard gain to the Bucknell 47. Two plays later, Alex Twiford hauled in a 16-yard pass that advanced the Bison to the Hawk 33. But they were ultimately forced to punt after Sam Pierce sacked Chiarolanzio for a loss of six yards and Dejaun Cooper tied up Chad Freshnock for a three-yard loss. The Hawks controlled the third quarter, holding the Bison to just 15 yards of offense and scoring two touchdowns to build a 35-6 advantage. First, Devell Jones capped a 10-play, 59-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown rush at the 8:17 mark. Then, with 2:19 to play in the quarter, Bahar scored on a one-yard quarterback keeper to complete a nine-play, 38-yard drive. Marquis Carter completed the game’s scoring, rushing three yards for his first career touchdown with 11:26 left to play in the game. The Hawks totaled 463 yards of total offense, 289 on the ground and 171 through the air. The Bison finished with 251 yards of total offense, 204 of which were through the air.

GAME NOTES • K John Burdick became only the second Bison to kick four field goals in a single game. The first was Steve Barimo in a 54-33 victory over Lafayette on Nov. 4, 1989. • Six different Bison receivers reached the double digits in yards, with four doing so on only one catch. RB Joey DeFloria rushed for a season-best 99 rushing yards. • LB Ben Richard led the Bison with 11 tackles. S Brandon Benson was next with nine while S Aaron Brown, LB Simeon Page, CB Bryan Marine and DE Roger Mellado each had eight. Page (2) and Mellado also came up with critical sacks during the contest. • This was the second-straight game QB John Chiarolanzio completed a pass of at least 50 yards to WR Jack Horan. Against Monmouth on Sept. 30, Chiarolanzio found Horan for a 76-yard gain in the first quarter. • P Alex Pechin played a key role in the win, dropping all four of his punts inside the 20. On average, Cornell started its drives on its own 20 while Bucknell began on its own 40. • Before TE Jared Morse, the last Bison to block a punt was S Connor Golden. He accomplished the feat on Oct. 4, 2014 at Bryant. • The only other time the Bison won two-straight games against Cornell at Schoellkopf Field was when they won three in a row in 1987 (20-6), 1990 (4221) and 1995 (10-7). Bucknell won the 2015 meeting by a 19-14 margin.
After Cornell evened the score on its first drive of the second half, the Bucknell football team scored 16 unanswered points en route to a 26-18 victory at Schoellkopf Field. John Chiarolanzio completed 11 of 16 passes for 176 yards and a career-high two touchdowns, John Burdick kicked a school-record four field goals and Ben Richard led a stifling defense with 11 tackles help the Bison (3-3, 0-1 Patriot League) take two in a row from the Big Red (1-4, 1-1 Ivy League) in Ithaca, N.Y. for the second time in program history. On its first drive of the second half, Cornell covered 65 yards in six plays, highlighted by a 25yard reception by Dalton Banks and S.K. Howard’s 14-yard rush. Davy Lizana capped the scoring drive with a nine-yard touchdown reception, making it a 10-10 game. Omar Garcia helped swing the momentum back in Bucknell’s favor, returning the resulting kickoff 49 yards up the Bison sideline to the Big Red 46. Burdick ultimately finished off that drive with a 38-yard field goal. After Jared Morse blocked a punt, Bucknell started its next drive on the Cornell 24. Burdick completed that abbreviated drive by splitting the uprights from 33 yards out. Alan Butler put an exclamation mark on Bucknell’s strong third quarter, making a diving catch in the corner of the end zone for a 22-yard score. Butler’s touchdown, his first of the season, completed an eight-play, 80-yard drive. During that scoring drive, Chiarolanzio found Andrew Podbielski for a 31-yard gain and Marcus Ademilola for a 14-yard gain. Chad Freshnock also had a 14-yard run. At 3:16 of the fourth quarter, the Bison extended their lead to 26-10 on a 28-yard Burdick field goal. On four carries during that drive, Joey DeFloria accounted for 52 of the Bison’s 60 yards. While Owen Peters caught a four-yard touchdown pass with 39 seconds left on the clock, and Banks found Jack Gellatly for the two-point conversion, Jack Horan recovered the on-side kick to seal the win for the Bison. The Bison opened the scoring on the second play of their second drive when Chiarolanzio connected with Horan for a 64-yard touchdown. Chiarolanzio hit Horan in stride at midfield, and two Big Red defensive backs clipped each other, allowing Horan to scamper to the end zone uncontested. Bucknell outgained Cornell in the first quarter, 114-28. The teams combined for just six first downs, four of which belonged to the Bison. At the 10:43 mark of the second quarter, Gerrit Van Itallie downed a punt on the Cornell oneyard line. After Josh Sweet scampered for eight- and 10-yard gains on back-to-back plays, the Big Red appeared to be on the move. But Bryan Marine forced Sweet to cough up the ball on his next carry, and John Hunt recovered it to set the Bison up on the Cornell 24. The Big Red defense held fast, stuffing Freshnock two yards short of the end zone on a 3rd and goal, and Burdick finished off the abbreviated drive with a 19-yard field goal. The Big Red got on the board with 38 seconds left in the first half. After a roughing the passer penalty advanced Cornell to its own 49, Banks completed 17-yard passes to Collin Shaw and James Hubbard to reach the Bison 17. With the Big Red facing a 3rd and 7 on the Bison 14, Roger Mellado sacked Banks for a loss of four yards, forcing Cornell to settle for a 35-yard field goal.

GAME NOTES • Bucknell became the 19th NCAA FCS program to reach the 600-win plateau. • CB Colin Jonov’s interception return for a touchdown was the sixth-longest touchdown in program history. Bucknell’s longest pick 6, it is one of only six scoring plays of at least 95 yards. The other five were all kickoff returns. • Of Bucknell’s 17 scoring plays of at least 90 yards, 12 were kickoff returns, three were runs from the line of scrimmage and two were interception returns. Joe Glenn owned the previous school record for longest interception return for a touchdown, a 90-yard score in a 33-28 win over Delaware State in 2003. • Jonov’s interception return was later featured on ESPN’s College Football Live.
Colin Jonov returned an interception 95 yards for a touchdown in overtime to lift the Bucknell football team to a 13-7 victory over Lafayette at Fisher Stadium. “It’s an indescribable feeling,” Jonov said. “Initially, I saw a cutback, and I took it. And then, after I saw and took the cutback, I saw nothing but green. I was just thinking, ‘Do not go down no matter what. Just stay on your feet and score.’ And that’s what happened.” The game was a defensive struggle, with the Bison and Leopards combining for 394 yards of total offense and 22 first downs. With its victory, its 600th in program history, Bucknell improved to 4-3 (1-1 Patriot League) on the season. The Bison jumped out to a 7-0 lead at the 12:56 mark of the first quarter. With Lafayette (2-5, 2-1 Patriot League) facing a 3rd and 8 on its 32-yard line, Drew Newcomb stepped in front of Sean O’Malley’s pass to the out-route receiver and raced 31 yards down the Bucknell sideline for a touchdown. The Bison defense was the story of the first quarter. While the Leopards held an 11:07 to 3:53 advantage in time of possession, Bucknell limited them to just 64 yards of total offense, 57 of which came through the air. Neither team could get into a rhythm offensively in the second quarter. Lafayette’s best chance to even the score came with 9:07 on the clock after Demetrius Breedlove’s strip sack gave its offense the ball on Bucknell’s 39. But the Bison defense forced the Leopards to go three and out; during that sequence, Simeon Page tied up Dylan Wadsworth for no gain and an aggressive blitz hurried O’Malley into throwing back-to-back incompletions. On its first drive of the second half, Lafayette covered 60 yards in eight plays to score the equalizing touchdown. Highlights of that drive included lengthy rushes by C.J. Amill (24 yards to the Bucknell 29) and Selwyn Simpson (19 yards to the Bucknell 7). Simpson ultimately capped the drive with a two-yard touchdown rush, the first of his career. With 9:39 remaining in regulation, the Bison took over on their six-yard line after a 49-yard punt. John Chiarolanzio orchestrated a 17-play, 69-yard drive, highlighted by his 13-yard pass to Marquis Carter while under pressure on a 3rd and 8. That play brought Bucknell into field-goal range, at the Lafayette 25, but John Burdick ultimately missed his 42-yard field goal attempt with 1:19 left to play. After the teams traded three and outs, they went into bonus time. The Bison won the toss and elected to start on defense. On the first play of the Leopards’ possession, Jonov leaped to pick off O’Malley’s pass and raced 95 yards for the game-winning score. Bucknell led Lafayette in total offense (208-186). Chiarolanzio completed 14 of 25 passes for 129 yards. Jack Horan led the Bison with 43 receiving yards while Chad Freshnock paced the team on the ground with 50 rushing yards. Bryan Marine led Bucknell with nine tackles (eight solo) while Mark Pyles was next with eight (six solo). Page and Trevor Fennimore each posted a sack. With its victory, Bucknell stretched its winning streak over Lafayette to four games. The Bison have previously enjoyed four winning streaks against the Leopards of equal or greater length: from 1929 to 1945 (6), 1968 to 1972 (5) and 1949 to 1952 (4).

GAME NOTES • QB Matt Muh entered the game in the second half and threw for 133 yards on 11 for 23 passing. QB John Chiarolanzio completed five of 10 passes for 37 yards during the first half. • WR Justin Bethea (48) and WR Mike Balzofiore (41) led the Bison in receiving yards, both setting a new career high in the process. Balzofiore’s first career reception, a 29-yard catch, was the longest by a Bison during the contest. • Defensively, a pair of freshmen reached the double digits in tackles: S Brandon Benson (12) and LB Simeon Page (11). • S Joe Lauro’s extra-point block was the first of his career. DL Abdullah Anderson also blocked an extra point; it was the fourth blocked kick of his career (his first three were field goals). • Bucknell last blocked multiple kicks in the same game on Nov. 19, 2016 when Anderson blocked a pair of field goals in a 36-22 loss to Fordham. • Bucknell last allowed 40 points in a game on Oct. 29, 2016, a 49-28 loss at then No. 9 Charleston Southern. • Colgate went 6-for-6 on its red-zone chances, scoring six touchdowns. Bucknell went 1-for-4 in the red zone, with the Raiders holding the Bison on a 4th and 8 and recovering a fumble inside their 10-yard line. • Colgate QB Grant Breneman completed 13 of 18 passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns. He added 76 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
The Bucknell football team fell to Colgate, 40-3, at Andy Kerr Stadium. The Raiders (5-4, 3-1 Patriot League) used an explosive second quarter to down the Bison (4-4, 1-2 Patriot League), snapping their two-game winning streak in the process. At the end of the first quarter, Colgate held a slim 6-3 edge. The Raiders opened the scoring on their first drive of the game when James Holland finished off a seven-play, 75-yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown run. During that drive, Holland rushed for 38 yards on four carries while Grant Breneman completed a 38-yard pass to Thomas Ives. Joe Lauro blocked the point-after attempt to keep it a 6-0 game. The Bison got on the board with 3:42 on the clock in the first quarter. After a short punt, Bucknell took over on the 50-yard line. On back-to-back plays, John Chiarolanzio completed a pass of at least 10 yards, first finding Omar Garcia for a 13-yard gain and then connecting with Andrew Podbielski for an 11-yard gain. While the Bison advanced as far as Colgate’s eight-yard line, they ultimately were forced to settle for a 28-yard John Burdick field goal. The Raiders broke open the game in the second quarter, scoring four unanswered touchdowns to build a 33-3 halftime lead. At the 13:45 mark, Ives hauled in a 12-yard pass from Breneman to cap a 10-play, 75-yard drive that began with 3:42 left to play in the first quarter. On the first play of Bucknell’s next drive, Nick Ioanilli made a leaping play to pick off a pass at the Bison 40. Colgate took advantage of having a short field, with Breneman scrambling out of the pocket and finding Ives in the corner of the end zone for a 20-yard score three plays later. The Raiders extended their lead to 26-3 at the 6:01 mark after Breneman dove just inside the right pylon to score a six-yard touchdown. His quarterback keeper completed an eight-play, 61-yard drive. With 1:44 left to play in the half, the Bison took over on their own 43 after a short punt. But Ioanilli intercepted his second pass of the game to give Colgate the ball at the Bucknell 41. The Raiders again capitalized, with Breneman finding Nick Diaco for a five-yard score after a pass interference penalty took them from the 20-yard line to the five. In the first half, Colgate outgained Bucknell, 293-63, and held a 15-4 advantage in first downs. The tables turned in the second half, with the Bison holding edges in yards (169-93) and first downs (10-4). Bucknell’s best opportunity to cut into Colgate’s lead came at the 6:17 mark of the third quarter after Mark Pyles deflected a Breneman pass and Abdullah Anderson made an athletic play to come up with the ball on Colgate’s 12-yard line. Matt Muh connected with Marquis Carter on the first play, and Tyler Castillo pushed him out of bounds one yard shy of the end zone. A play later, John Steffen recovered a fumble on the Raider seven-yard line to keep the Bison from getting on the board again. Alex Mathews completed the game’s scoring with 1:41 remaining in regulation with a threeyard touchdown run. After Mathew’s score, Bucknell advanced to Colgate’s five-yard line, with Muh orchestrating a 13-play, 65-yard drive. During that drive, he completed three passes of at least 10 yards to three different receivers—Mike Balzofiore (12), Podbielski (15) and Justin Bethea (14)—and also rushed for a career-long 17 yard gain. But, in the final second, Muh’s pass to Balzofiore fell incomplete in the end zone.

GAME NOTES • RB Chad Freshnock became the first Bison since 2014 to rush for three touchdowns. Matt DelMauro accomplished the feat on Nov. 15 in a 31-24 overtime win at Holy Cross. • Freshnock’s 85-yard touchdown was the fifth-longest from the line of scrimmage in school history. Hassen Abdellah ran for the most recent rushing touchdown of at least 85 yards, a 91-yard score, on Oct. 27, 1979 in a 14-13 Homecoming loss to Lehigh. The other three occurred in 1938, 1946 and 1952. • Freshnock also became the first Bison since 2012 to run for at least 60 yards in a single play. On Nov. 3 in a 27-24 win over Fordham, Tyler Smith broke free for a 76-yard touchdown run. • QB Matt Muh completed 22 of 37 passes for 144 yards. • LB Mark Pyles led the Bison defense with 10 tackles (seven solo), one sack and his first career interception. S Brandon Benson also made 10 tackles (four solo). It was Pyles’s eighth career double-digit tackle outing and Benson’s third in the past five games. • Bucknell’s 342 yards of total offense was its highest total this season. The Bison previously eclipsed 300 yards against Sacred Heart (318) and at Cornell (306). • Bucknell held QB Brad Mayes to 193 passing yards. He entered the game second in the FCS in passing yards per game (341.5). • The Bison limited Lehigh to 383 yards of total offense, 116.8 below its 2017 average.
Chad Freshnock rushed for a career-high 174 yards and three touchdowns, but the Bucknell football team was downed by Lehigh, 42-21, in its Homecoming game at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The Mountain Hawks (3-6, 3-1 Patriot League) scored three unanswered rushing touchdowns in the first quarter’s final nine minutes and never looked back, sending the Bison to 4-5 (1-3 Patriot League) on the season. For Lehigh, Dom Bragalone ran for 136 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries while Brad Mayes completed 17 of 25 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns. Gatlin Casey caught both of Mayes’s touchdown passes; he and Troy Pelletier accounted for all but eight of the Mountain Hawks’ receiving yards. Turnovers and penalties were the story of the first quarter. Lehigh scored two of its first three touchdowns following a Bucknell fumble, and their second came one play after a penalty pushed them up 15 yards to the Bison 44. After Mark Walker forced a fumble and returned it nine yards to the Bucknell nine-yard line, Mayes opened the scoring by throwing an eight-yard touchdown pass to Casey at the 9:54 mark. Just over a minute later, Freshnock found the end zone for the first time, breaking free for an 85-yard score. But Bragalone responded with his first rushing touchdown 16 seconds later, scampering 44 yards to the end zone to make it a 14-7 game. A fumble on the resulting kickoff gave the Mountain Hawks the ball back, and they took advantage. They covered 33 yards in four plays, with Bragalone capping the short drive with a seven-yard touchdown run. Micco Brisker made it a 28-7 game with 1:03 left to play in the first quarter. His 22-yard rushing score completed an eight-play, 52-yard drive that saw Mayes connect with both Casey and Pelletier for at least 10 yards. The Bison cut their deficit to 28-14 at the 10:49 mark of the second quarter when Freshnock got a big block from Andrew Podbielski and ran 23 yards for his second score. Freshnock accounted for all 70 of Bucknell’s yards during that drive on four carries for 61 yards and one reception for nine yards. Mayes then led an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive to put Lehigh back up by three touchdowns. After he found Pelletier for a 19-yard gain to set the Mountain Hawks up on the Bucknell 29, Bragalone found the end zone one play later. Matt Muh responded by orchestrating a 15-play, 48-yard drive to the Lehigh 23. On a 4th and 9 at the Mountain Hawk 33, Marcus Ademilola caught a short pass and stretched out to pick up one more yard than the Bison needed for the first down. Quentin Jones ultimately picked off a pass intended for Justin Bethea on the one-yard line, preventing Bucknell from gaining some momentum before halftime. In the first half, the teams combined for 457 yards of total offense, with the Bison holding a slight 230-227 edge. The teams combined for 268 yards of total offense the rest of the way, each scoring one touchdown. Casey caught a 47-yard touchdown pass at 2:04 of the third quarter while Freshnock rushed for his third touchdown, a two-yard score, at 1:06 of the fourth to cap a seven-play, 73-yard drive.

GAME NOTES • With the victory, the 37th of his Bucknell career, HC Joe Susan tied Bob Odell for sixth in school history. • RBs Joey DeFloria and Chad Freshnock split Bucknell’s carries and finished with 97 and 78 yards respectively. DeFloria’s total was his second highest of the 2017 campaign behind a 99-yard outing at Cornell. • K John Burdick’s two field goals gave him 11 on the year, which is tied for sixth in program history. This is only the 12th time a Bison kicker has reached the double digits in field goals in a single season; 10 kickers combined for those 12 efforts. • The Bison held the Hoyas to just 79 passing yards, the lowest total they’ve allowed in 2017. Georgetown was the first team Bucknell did not allow to reach the red zone in 2017. • This was the Bison’s first Senior Day victory since 2013, a 17-7 win over Georgetown. • Bucknell finished .500 at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in 2017, at 3-3. The Bison last finished at least .500 at home in 2014 (3-2). • Before the game, the Bison will recognize their 19 seniors: LS Tom Adams, DL Abdullah Anderson, K John Burdick, QB John Burkly, DE Craig Cassidy, RB Joey DeFloria, DE Trevor Fennimore, S Connor Golden, WR Jack Horan, CB Trey Johnson, CB Colin Jonov, WR Kyle Kinner, TE Jared Morse, QB Matt Muh, LB Mike Pirolli, TE Andrew Podbielski, LB Mark Pyles, LB Ben Richard and OL Chase Watkins.
The Bucknell football team scored a Senior Day shutout of Georgetown at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. On a day where the Bison (5-5, 2-3 PL) recognized their 19-man senior class and honored the 28th Infantry Division with special helmet decals as part of their Veterans Day celebrations, the defense held the Hoyas (1-9, 0-5 PL) to 214 yards of total offense and didn’t allow them to reach the red zone en route to a 12-0 victory. It was Bucknell’s first shutout victory since Sept. 5, 2015, a 17-0 whitewashing of Marist in Lewisburg. Colin Jonov led the stifling Bison defense with a career-high nine tackles while Abdullah Anderson registered two sacks for a loss of 12 yards, putting him one away from entering Bucknell’s top 10 in the career annals entering the final game of his storied career. Offensively, the Bison used two John Burdick field goals to stake themselves a 6-0 lead early in the third quarter. With eight seconds remaining in that frame, John Chiarolanzio connected with Marcus Ademilola for a 36-yard touchdown while under pressure to bring the score to 12-0. In the fourth quarter, Bucknell held Georgetown to just two first downs and 23 yards of total offense. With nine minutes left to play, the Bison took over on their eight-yard line after a Hoya punt. They proceeded to run out the clock, ultimately ceding the ball on downs at the Georgetown 34 with 2:31 remaining in regulation. With the Hoyas scrambling to make something happen, the Bison defense put an exclamation mark on its shutout, with Trevor Fennimore sacking Gunther Johnson for a loss of nine yards and Anderson hauling him down for a loss of six on back-to-back plays. After taking over on downs at the Georgetown 22, Bucknell went into victory formation and took a knee to end the game. In the first half, the teams combined for only 11 first downs and 282 yards of total offense. The Bison finally broke through with 3:35 remaining in the half after recovering a fumbled punt return in the red zone. Tom Adams forced Blaise Brown to cough up the ball on the Hoya 19-yard line, and Brice Sydnor pounced on it to give the offense a short field to work with. Bucknell advanced as far as Georgetown’s eight-yard line but was forced to settle for a field goal when Chiarolanzio’s pass to Alan Butler was broken up in the corner of the end zone by Ramon Lyons on 3rd and goal. Burdick ultimately kicked a 26-yard field goal, his 10th of the season, to give the Bison a 3-0 lead. After Burdick missed a 36-yard field goal on Bucknell’s next drive, Georgetown took over with 1:01 on the clock. On the second play of that series, Johnson found a seam and ran 38 yards to the Bucknell 41. He then completed a seven-yard pass to Michael Dereus to set the Hoyas up on the Bison 34. Two plays later, Drew Newcomb corralled a deflected Johnson pass to give Bucknell the ball back with just nine seconds remaining in the half. Burdick booted his second field goal of the game at 7:17 of the third quarter, capping a 10play, 40-yard drive that was highlighted by a nine-yard Kyle Kinner reception on a 4th and 2 at the Georgetown 21. The Hoyas held fast to hold Bucknell to a 21-yard field goal, with David Akere tying up Ademilola a yard shy of a first down at their three-yard line. Ademilola took his revenge a drive later, finishing off an eight-play, 82-yard march with his second touchdown grab of the season. Bolstered by that 36-yard score, he led all receivers with 61 yards. Bucknell held advantages in total offense (297-214), first downs (17-8) and time of possession (35:59-24:01).

GAME NOTES • LB Simeon Page’s total of six tackles for a loss was the most posted by an FCS player in a single game during the 2017 campaign. His four sacks slotted him in a tie for second. • Page’s four sacks gave him nine on the season, a Bison rookie record and tied for seventh overall. • P Alex Pechin registered a career-high 50.9 punting average. He landed six of his 10 punts inside the 20 and had three sail for at least 60 yards, which included the sixth- (67) and ninth- (64) longest punts in Bucknell’s history. • Pechin became the first Bison since 2013 to punt at least 10 times a single game. His total gave him 72 punts on the season, tied for second in the Bison annals. • K John Burdick’s trio of field goals gave him 14 on the season, equaling Ryan Korn’s (2003) single-season record. • Burdick’s three field goals placed him in a tie for third in Bucknell’s history. Earlier in the season at Cornell, he matched Steve Barimo’s (1989) single-game record with four field goals. • S Brandon Benson (9), Page (8), S Aaron Brown (8) and CB Fisayo Oluleye (8) all made at least eight tackles. Brown matched his career high while Oluleye set a new career high. • RB Joey DeFloria finished with 75 yards on 20 carries. He broke free for a season-long 33-yard run on the fourth quarter’s first play to set up Burdick’s second field goal.
Behind three scoring plays of at least 55 yards, Fordham edged the Bucknell football team, 20-9, at Jack Coffey Field in the season finale for both teams. After the Bison (5-6, 2-4 Patriot League) took a 9-7 lead with 10:49 remaining in regulation on John Burdick’s third field goal of the contest, the Rams (4-7, 3-3 Patriot League) responded with a pair of touchdowns to put the game away. Simeon Page paced the Bucknell defense with six tackles for a loss, which is tied for sixth in FCS history. His four sacks matched a Bison record last equaled in 1998. In total, he caused Fordham to lose 33 yards during the contest. Bucknell forced six fumbles, recovering three. Two of Burdick’s field goals came after a Bison, first Abdullah Anderson and then Craig Cassidy, recovered a fumble in the red zone. Page forced the fumble recovered by Cassidy with his third sack of the game. The defense allowed only 234 yards of total offense during the contest, 120 of which came on Chase Edmonds’s pair of touchdowns. Edmonds, a 2016 consensus All-American and the 2017 Patriot League Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, will graduate as the Patriot League’s alltime leading rusher with 5,862 yards. Just under three minutes after Burdick’s go-ahead field goal, Austin Longi returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown to stake Fordham a 13-9 advantage. The Rams attempted the two-point conversion, but Isaiah Searight’s pass fell incomplete. After the teams traded three and outs, the Bison got the ball back with 4:52 on the clock at their 49. Fordham held fast, and Bucknell couldn’t convert on a 4th and 2 on the Ram 45. On the first play of Fordham’s resulting drive, Edmonds broke free for a 55-yard score, effectively icing the game. During the first quarter, the teams combined for just three first downs and 75 yards of total offense. While both defenses came up with big turnovers, neither offense could capitalize. With 6:20 to play in the opening frame, Antoni Jackson intercepted a John Chiarolanzio deep ball just outside of the end zone and returned it 55 yards to the Bucknell 45. But the Bison defense forced the Ram offense to go three and out, with Anderson bringing down Edmonds for a loss of three yards on the first play of that drive and Page sacking King for a loss of eight yards on 3rd and 7. After nearly giving up a safety, Bucknell was forced to punt from deep in its own end with 2:04 left to play in the first quarter. But the Bison got the ball right back when John Hunt forced a fumble on the punt return and Mike Caruso recovered it at the Fordham 39. Bucknell advanced to the Ram 19 at the 14:50 mark of the second; after Chiarolanzio’s pass to Justin Bethea fell incomplete on 3rd and 4, Burdick’s 37-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide left to keep the game scoreless. Fordham finally broke through at the 8:11 mark of the second quarter when Edmonds broke multiple tackles en route to a 65-yard touchdown. The Rams held that 7-0 lead until the 3:41 mark of the third quarter, when Burdick kicked his first field goal. His next, which trimmed the deficit to one, came with 12:58 on the clock in the final frame.

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. 3773 Corporate Parkway, Suite 190 Center Valley, PA 18034 Phone: 610-289-1950 Website: PatriotLeague.com
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 28-year existence, including 14 of the last 20 years. 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.

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 133rd season in 2018. Scores of marvelous players have donned the Orange and Blue over the course of the 132 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.
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.
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.
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 season ushers in a

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.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Bucknell played George Washington at home on Oct. 10, 1925, the day Christy Mathewson was buried in Lewisburg. In his memory, there was no cheering in the first quarter • 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.
1986
Two years after formation of the league is announced, the Colonial League (later renamed the Patriot League) debuts with six members — Bucknell, Colgate, Lehigh, Lafayette, Holy Cross and Davidson. The Bison’s first-ever league game is one for the ages. Trailing Colgate in the fourth quarter, 39-25, Bucknell rallies to take a 40-39 lead with 52 seconds left, but the Red Raiders drive for a game-winning field goal attempt with four seconds left. After a bobbled snap from center, Colgate completes an impromptu pass play that nearly goes for a touchdown, but Bison defensive back Robert Hawkins drags down the receiver at the 9-yard line on the final play of the game.
1989
Bucknell’s newly-renovated stadium is rededicated in honor of Christy Mathewson. Much like the stadium’s namesake, Bucknell opens play in the “new” facility with a victory, handing Dartmouth a 36-20 setback on September 30.
1995
The Tom Gadd tenure begins at Bucknell, and the Bison finish 7-4. Rich Lemon becomes Bucknell’s all-time rushing leader on opening day.
1996
Fittingly, Rich Lemon concludes his remarkable career with a Patriot League title, as Bucknell outlasts Colgate, 28-27, in the heart-stopping season finale. The win gives Bucknell its first football title in over 30 years. Lemon graduated with 4,742 rushing yards, nearly 2,100 more than the previous record-holder.
1997
The Bison roll out to a 10-0 record before falling to Colgate in their season finale to finish 10-1. The 10 wins were the most in school history, and many came in thrilling fashion, as the Bison won seven times by seven points or less.
2003
After the legendary Tom Gadd loses a long battle with brain cancer, Bucknell turns to Tim Landis as its 25th head coach. Landis quickly restores the good fortunes of the Bison football program. After a 2-9/0-7 season in 2002, Bucknell finishes 6-6/4-3 in one of the nation’s best one-season turnarounds.
2004
Bucknell wins its final four games of the season for the first time since 1975 to claim its first winning season since 2001 with a 7-4 record.
2006
Bucknell finishes with a 6-5 record and posts a five-game improvement from 2005, equaling the largest jump in program history.
2011
In its second year under Joe Susan, Bucknell equals the school record with a five-win improvement from 2010. The Bison posted a 6-5 overall mark one year after going 1-10. Highlighting the campaign was an impressive ability to force turnovers. Bucknell finished first nationally in turnover margin (+2.45) and DB Bryce Robertson (right) led the country in interceptions with 13, breaking both the program and Patriot League standards.
2013
Joe Susan leads Bucknell to five wins in its final six games to register its second above-.500 finish in a three-year span. The Bison finished in a tie for second place in the Patriot League standings, their highest finish since 1997.
2014
Bucknell wins its most games since 1997 as it finished 8-3 overall and 4-2 in Patriot League play. The Bison have nine All-Patriot League selections and Joe Susan becomes Bucknell’s first Patriot League Coach of the Year since 1997.
2016
Julién Davenport (below) was selected by the Houston Texans in the 2017 NFL Draft’s fourth round, 130th overall, following a decorated 2016 season. He was the first Bison since Sam Havrilak (1969, eighth round, Baltimore Colts) to be drafted and the seventh overall. He is Bucknell’s second-highest selection behind George Kiick, who went to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the third round of the 1940 draft. Davenport was named a First Team All-American by the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp Foundation and STATS.
Bucknell’s 1997 football team celebrates its 45-38 victory at St. Mary’s (Calif.), which ran its record to 9-0 for only the second time in program history (1951, 9-0 under head coach Harry Lawrence).
2001
Bucknell celebrates its seventh straight winning season, a first in Bison annals.

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

Former Bucknell assistant coach (1981-90) Joe Susan took over the Bison in 2010 and is in the process of returning the team to the top of the Patriot League as he enters his seventh season on the Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium sideline. 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. On the following page is 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.

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 game-time temperature on the artificial surface was 112 degrees. In 1987, back-to-back home games with Holy Cross (a 48-10 loss) and Columbia (a 62-20 win) brought the national news media to Lewisburg in droves. The media came first to chronicle the Frank Merriwell-like heroics of the Crusaders’ Gordie Lockbaum, and then returned the next week as Columbia attempted to escape its collegiate-record losing streak. The Lions attempted an onside kick on the opening kickoff, but that failed, and Bucknell led 28-0 by the end of the first quarter and the Lions went on to their 37th straight loss. Lou Maranzana’s first season as head coach in 1989 included a very special afternoon, as the Bison’s home stadium was rededicated to the memory of Christy Mathewson. Matty would have been proud, as the Bison that day beat Dartmouth, Maranzana’s alma mater, 36-20. The Tom Gadd era began in 1995, and the 7-4 record included a dramatic 21-14 win at Colgate in the first overtime game in Bucknell history. The drama of that contest, though, paled in comparison to the Bucknell-Colgate game in 1996, as the Bison and Red Raiders again played into overtime, this time with the Patriot League title on the line. In a game that will be long remembered by all in attendance, Bucknell battled to a 28-27 win when a Colgate two-point conversion pass in overtime was batted down by Brandon Little, who would later earn All-America honors. Bucknell built on its championship season by winning its first 10 games the following fall and compiling a 12-game winning streak, the second longest in school history. In the process of posting more wins than any other Bison team, Coach Gadd’s charges were nationally ranked and led the Patriot League in total defense for the third straight year. However, the memorable season and win streak came to an end with a 48-14 loss at Colgate in a game that again decided the Patriot League crown. The Bison continued their winning ways in 1999, turning in their fifth straight winning season with a 7-4 record behind an offense that scored 320 points — the third-highest single-season total in school history. Quarterback Don McDowell turned in one of his career-best performances to lead the Orange and Blue to a 21-16 victory at nationally ranked Colgate, while Jabu Powell stepped in at running back and led the Bison to their first win at Penn’s Franklin Field (23-16) in over 30 years. In 2001 the Bison made it seven straight winning seasons — a first in the history of the program — while playing on their new state-of-the-art FieldTurf. With their football fortunes reaching heights never before seen, the Bison were dealt a devastating blow when Gadd had to step aside in 2002 to battle brain cancer. He lost that battle in March 2003. Gadd tied the BU record for career coaching victories with 48,

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.

The below monuments are located in the southern part of Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, near the beautifully manicured bushes that spell Bucknell. The newest monuments were added in fall 2012 when Hall of Fame back Clarke Hinkle and 1951 co-captain George Young received the much-deserved recognition.
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. Bucknell 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. Mathewson is buried in the cemetery just behind the Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center.
Did you know? In 2018, 120 years have passed since Christy Mathewson arrived at Bucknell to begin his freshman year.

HALL OF FAME
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SELFLESS <<<< ACCOUNTABLE <<<< MENTALLY TOUGH <<<< SCHOLAR-ATHLETES <<<< BAND OF BISON <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Six outstanding alumni will join the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame as part of its 40th induction class this fall. The Hall of Fame Class of 2018 will be comprised of former Bison standouts representing six different sports. Among the inductees is Bill Graham ’62, the captain of Bucknell’s undefeated wrestling team in 1961-62 who has become a successful businessman and one of Bucknell Athletics’ most generous donors. Also elected this year are do-it-all baseball star Jason Buursma ’08, standout soccer defender Michael Lookingland ’05, track and field record-setters Tricia Plasko Rocchino ’92 and Noel Powell ’04, and men’s golf champion Charlie Waddell ’07. The new Hall of Fame class will be inducted at a dinner ceremony on Friday, Oct. 19 as part of Homecoming Weekend festivities. The new Hall of Famers will also be recognized at halftime of the Bucknell-Lafayette football game the following day. The Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1979 to honor the very best in the history of Bison athletics. This year’s induction brings to 263 the number of outstanding student-athletes, coaches, administrators and friends of Bucknell whose contributions are forever preserved in the Hall of Fame. BILL GRAHAM ‘62 was a standout wrestler at Bucknell, and as an alumnus has served on the Board of Trustees while becoming one of his alma mater’s largest benefactors. As a student-athlete, Graham captained the Bison to a 9-0 record in 1961-62, which is one of only two perfect seasons in team history. He finished 7-1 with two pins that season, competing in the 191-pound and heavyweight classes. He was a starter at 177 pounds as a sophomore, and competed all the way up in the heavyweight division by his senior year. After graduation, Graham went on to a very successful business career, and he is the chairman and chief executive officer of The Graham Com-
JASON BUURSMA pany in Philadelphia, one of the nation’s largest insurance brokerages. His generous support of Bison Athletics has impacted hundreds of men’s and women’s student-athletes, most notably the wrestling program, which Graham helped restore to full varsity status in 2005 after it had been discontinued. His generous gifts paved the way for the construction of Graham Field, the home of the Bison field hockey and women’s lacrosse teams, and the Graham Building, which houses the wrestling team’s training center as well as the university’s student health center. Graham is heavily involved in the sport of wrestling at the national level, and he is a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) Hall of Fame and the Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Graham was named the National Association of Athletic Development Directors (NAADD) University Division Donor of the Year in 2007. In 2013, he was recognized by The Council of Insurance
Agents and Brokers (CIAB) as one of the top “Game Changers” over the last 100 years. Graham was also honored by The Philadelphia Insurance Society as the 2013 recipient of the Society’s prestigious Distinguished Leadership Award. At Bucknell, Graham has been one of the university’s most noteworthy donors and was the recipient of the 2012 Distinguished Citizenship Award. TRICIA PLASKO ROCCHINO ‘92 was a dominant sprinter for the Bison track and field team under Hall-of-Fame coach Art Gulden. Plasko Rocchino earned 10 conference gold medals and graduated with school records in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and 4x100- and 4x200-meter relays. Her record of 12.07 seconds in the 100-meter dash held up as the Bucknell record for 23 years, and her record of 24.74 stood for eight years before being eclipsed by fellow Hall-of-Famer Yetunde Daniels. In 1991, Plasko Rocchino won four events, including the 100, 200 and two relays, to help Bucknell capture the team title at the inaugural Patriot League Outdoor Championships. The Christy Mathewson Award Winner as the top athlete in her class, Plasko Rocchino was also nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award, and she returned to Bucknell to earn a master’s degree. NOEL POWELL ’04 piled up championship points for the Bison men’s track and field team as a record-setting jumper and sprinter. Powell won six Patriot League gold medals, four outdoors and two indoors, and was a four-time All-East honoree and a three-time NCAA Regionals qualifier. He dominated the 2002 Patriot League Outdoor Championships, winning the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, the long jump, and the 4x100-meter relay en route to Track Athlete of the Meet honors.

CHARLIE WADDELL
NOEL POWELL Powell won the long jump and 100-meter dash again in 2003, and he also won back-to-back Patriot League indoor long jump titles. Even 14 years after graduation, Powell still holds the Bucknell records in the 100-meter dash (10.52) and indoor (25-0) and outdoor (24-10 ½) long jumps. He also graduated with the school record in the 200-meter dash and 4x100 relay. Powell earned the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in the Class of 2004. MICHAEL LOOKINGLAND ’05 is one of the top defenders ever to play for the Bucknell men’s soccer team. A two-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year honoree, Lookingland started and played every minute in all 76 games over his four-year career. The two-year team captain was a three-time All-Patriot League selection, and he helped the 2003 squad to a regular-season championship with a 5-0-2 record. A member of the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team, Lookingland became the first Bison ever to be selected in the Major League Soccer Draft when he was the 13th overall pick by Real Salt Lake in the 2005 MLS Supplemental Draft. He played briefly in the MLS and then went on to a stellar indoor soccer career, winning four MISL championships with the Baltimore Blast. He was the 2012 MISL Defender of the Year and a First Team All-MISL selection. CHARLIE WADDELL ’07 is one of the finest golfers in Bucknell history and a two-time Patriot League individual champion and Golfer of the Year. In his four years at Bucknell, Waddell finished sixth, first, first and third at the Patriot League Championship to become a rare four-time all-conference honoree, and he was the No. 1 man on title-winning teams in 2006 and 2007. In 2005,
Waddell posted a then-league-record 209 (-1) to claim medalist honors by one stroke on his home course, and a year later he compiled a 3-under-par 210 at the Naval Academy Golf Course. He remains the only repeat champion in league history. Waddell was a nominee for the prestigious Byron Nelson Award, and he graduated as the school record-holder for season (73.4) and career (74.9) scoring average. He won four career tournaments and was also runner-up four times. A member of the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team, Waddell turned pro after graduation. He has since regained his amateur status and has twice qualified for the U.S. Amateur Championship. JASON BUURSMA ’08 was elected to the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, after authoring one of the finest careers in Bucknell baseball history. Buursma was both an All-America and Academic All-America honoree, and remarkably over four years he was a fivetime All-Patriot League selection at four different positions: 2005 at designated hitter, 2006 at both
TRICIA PLASKO ROCCHINO
pitcher and first base, 2007 as a pitcher, and 2008 as an outfielder. Buursma was selected as the Patriot League Player of the Year and Tournament MVP as a senior in 2008, when he led the team to a league title, an NCAA Regional berth, and a monumental upset of fourth-ranked Florida State on the opening night of the tournament. Buursma turned in a postseason for the ages. On the mound, he was the winning pitcher in relief in all four of Bucknell’s Patriot League Tournament games, going 4-0 with a 0.00 earned-run average while allowing only three hits in 10 innings of work. He also went 5-for-10 and scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning in both victories over Navy in the Patriot League championship series. And then against the Seminoles in the NCAA Regionals, he went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Bucknell’s 7-0 win. In 2008, Buursma hit .367 with 13 home runs and 37 RBIs, and as a pitcher he broke the school record with nine wins, going 9-3 with a 2.58 ERA in 20 appearances. He made three different All-America teams that year (ABCA, NCBWA, Ping). Buursma graduated with a school-record 24 home runs, while his career era of 2.13 ranked No. 2 all-time. Buursma was selected in the MLB Draft after both his junior and senior years at Bucknell. He was a 25th-round selection of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2008, and he went on to pitch for four years in the Cardinals’ system, advancing as high as AAA in 2011. He also excelled in the classroom, earning the overall Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year award for all sports in 2008. He was a top-10 finalist for the Senior CLASS Award, and he earned the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in his class. Buursma was later named to the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team.

In addition to the football program’s 79 members of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, five inductees have also been elected to national halls of fame. • 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 Hall of Fame, College Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. • Andrew Wyant, a Bison star from 1888-91 who later went on to play for the University of Chicago, is a member of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. • Carl Snavely and Edward “Hook” Mylin are members of the National Football Hall of Fame and the Helms Hall of Fame. Snavely went 42-16-8 at Bucknell from 1927-33 and also coached at Cornell, North Carolina and Washington (Mo.) University. Mylin, who succeeded Snavely, coached Bucknell’s Orange Bowl championship team. • Bob Odell, who coached Bucknell to Lambert Cup titles in 1960 and 1964, was inducted into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 1992 in honor of his remarkable career at Penn.

ALEX PECHIN Rising sophomore Simeon Page made a big impact as a freshman. Playing as a hybrid linebacker/defensive end, he recorded nine sacks, a Bucknell rookie record and tied for seventh in school history. In the 2017 finale, he terrorized Fordham quarterback Austin King, recording four sacks. That total matched the Bison single-game record, which was last achieved in 1998. For his efforts, Page was recognized by STATS as the National Freshman Player of the Week. He went on to earn a spot on the All-Patriot League Second Team.
CHAD FRESHNOCK
SIMEON PAGE Against Lehigh on Homecoming in 2017, Chad Freshnock broke free for an 85-yard touchdown rush, the fifth-longest in school history. He became only the third Bison to run for at least an 80-yard score since 1980, joining Rich Lemon (83 yards against Cornell in 1994) and A.J. Kizekai (80 yards against Holy Cross in 2007). Freshnock enters his junior campaign with two 100-yard rushing games to his name: against VMI in 2016 (161) and against Lehigh (174).

Rising senior Alex Pechin is among the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite punters. A STATS Third Team All-American in 2017, he holds two school records: career punting average (43.3) and single-season punting average (45.1, 2017). Against Fordham in the 2017 finale, he booted the sixth(67) and ninth- (64) longest punts in Bucknellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. During that contest, he averaged a season-best 50.9 yards per punt to boost his season average to 45.1, which was good for third in the FCS ranks (and would have been ninth among FBS punters).

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

CHRISTY MATHEWSON-MEMORIAL STADIUM
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SELFLESS <<<< ACCOUNTABLE <<<< MENTALLY TOUGH <<<< SCHOLAR-ATHLETES <<<< BAND OF BISON <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The Bucknell football team plays its home games in a picturesque, 94-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 alumni 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 ’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.

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 setting the 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, 135 Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 155 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 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 cache of athletics facilities. The following gives a closer look behind its walls:
Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accommodates four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool features two moveable bulkheads, allowing for multiple team practices and recreational swimming to occur simultaneously. Amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands. In its first decade, Kinney Natatorium played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility has also served as host of eight Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships, five water polo conference championships and an exhibition game against the U.S. women’s water polo national team, drawing rave reviews at each. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the PIAA state swimming championships moved to Kinney Natatorium.
SOJKA PAVILION
Sojka Pavilion provides the Bison men’s and women’s basketball programs with one of the finest arenas in the east. A “first-class” venue capable of seating 4,000 spectators for sporting and other campus events, the pavilion has walk-down access to all seats and unobstructed views of the playing surface or concert stage for all spectators. The seating bowl features approximately 1,500 fixed seats and 2,500 retractable seats, enabling an “expandable” open floor area with sufficient space for three basketball courts for recreational activities and varsity practices. The spacious upper-level concourse includes two concession areas, restrooms, handicapped 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 nationally ranked Villanova drew a school-record crowd of 4,433.
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 and 1st Lt. Dwite H. Schaffner, Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients and also 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, which 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 also contains cardio equipment, with

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

THE PREMIER SCHOLAR-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SELFLESS <<<< ACCOUNTABLE <<<< MENTALLY TOUGH <<<< SCHOLAR-ATHLETES <<<< BAND OF BISON <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE ON AND OFF THE FIELD Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to graduation rates that are ranked annually in the national top 10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal. •
According to federal data released by the NCAA each fall, Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate annually ranks in the top 10 among all Division I institutions. The Bison have led the nation in graduation rates three times and were slotted fourth in the 2017 survey.
•
Once again, all 27 Bison varsity teams significantly exceeded the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) standards in 2017-18, with 15 programs boasting perfect scores in the four-year rolling average. Bucknell also received 15 NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) Public Recognition Awards, tied for the seventh-highest total among all Division I institutions.
•
Bucknell has claimed a league-high 155 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91. In 2017, punter Alex Pechin became the football program’s eighth recipient of this prestigious honor, joining Bill Farthing (1989), David Berardinelli (1991 & 1992), Rob Glus (1993 & 1994), Kevin Eiben (2000), Travis Nissley (2009 & 2010), Tim Bolte (2011) and Matt DelMauro (2015).
•
A total of 435 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2017-18 after recording a GPA of 3.20 or better during their sport’s competition season. Among all student-athletes, 307 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.50 or better during the 2018 spring semester, including 31 football players.
•
In addition to its 135 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 370 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including six in 2017-18. Last season’s All-District selections included a pair of football players: wide receiver Jack Horan and linebacker Mark Pyles.
•
Bucknell has captured 113 Patriot League championships in its 28 years in the league. The Bison also boast 140 conference players of the year, 123 coaches of the year and 643 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.
•
Twenty four of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better during the 2018 spring semester.
•
Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 18 times in its 28-year history. In a 16-year stretch between 1999 and 2013, the Bison captured the crown 14 times.
•
With 135, Bucknell ranks 12th among all Division I institutions in total number of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. The Bison also stand first among Division I non-Power 5 schools.
•
A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excellence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olympic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, an Academic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. 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. 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: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach 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 the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total 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; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program. BISON FUEL: In September 2017, Bucknell Athletics launched its first “BISON FUEL” nutrition station. The fueling station, open weekdays from 2 to 4 p.m. in Gerhard Fieldhouse’s Zeller Lounge, features a variety of healthy snacks and Powerade products that are available free of charge to all Bison student-athletes.

TRAINING STUDENT-ATHLETES TO BECOME EFFECTIVE LEADERS IN ACADEMICS, IN ATHLETICS AND IN LIFE Competitive sports at Bucknell dates back to 1870, and, more than a century later, Bucknell has established itself as a national leader in providing successful academic and athletic opportunities for student-athletes. Today, the Department of Athletics & Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence among all intercollegiate programs by maintaining academic priorities and supporting educational and personal development, all while providing the rigorous and competitive Division I athletics opportunity sought by Bucknell student-athletes. As Bison Athletics seeks to create a comprehensive learning environment that meshes with the academic mission of the University, an important element of the complete student-athlete experience is participation in an elite leadership development program designed to identify, develop, challenge and support student-athletes and coaches in their continual quest to become leaders in academics, in athletics and in life. This is the Bucknell Athletics Leadership Institute. ABOUT THE PROGRAM • In the summer of 2011, the Bucknell Department of Athletics & Recreation implemented a formal leadership development program. • Initial workshops were facilitated by the Janssen Sports Leadership Center. • As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, the program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. • Initially, a group of 60 student-athletes were identified as members. These workshops for both student-athletes and their coaches set the stage for ongoing programming that encompasses the Bucknell Bison Leadership Institute. • In the winter of 2016, a full-time associate director of athletics for leadership development was introduced. The position is primarily responsible for coordinating and implementing programming for the Bucknell Athletics Leadership Institute. GOALS FOR THE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE • Identify and develop high potential leaders in their sophomore or junior years • Help young best athletes become best leaders • Create strong leaders by example and set the stage for developing vocal leaders • Build a strong peer support network for aspiring leaders • Develop leaders who support and learn from current team captains/leaders • Practice leading self, their class, and below • Succession Planning — smoothly replace graduating leaders • Encourage veteran leaders to step up and be vocal leaders • Establish a solid, cooperative and ongoing partnership with the coaching staff • Teach and apply the skills necessary to be a responsible and respected leader • Provide veteran leaders with ongoing coaching and support as they tackle the tough issues of team leadership • Provide veteran leaders with a solid peer network for guidance and support • Provide veteran leaders with highly marketable leadership skills for a lifetime “I applaud our athletics department for providing our student-athletes with this exciting new program. We are confident the young men and women participating will take full advantage of all that the Bucknell Athletics Leadership Institute has to offer.”- Bucknell University President John Bravman “The Patriot League believes in the motto of `today’s scholar-athletes, tomorrow’s leaders,’ and the program provides a unique platform for student-athletes to further their growth into leadership roles. We remain committed to providing student-athletes an opportunity to achieve their potential academically and athletically while preparing to become leaders and make meaningful contributions to society.” - Former Patriot League Executive Director Carolyn Schlie Femovich

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
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SELFLESS <<<< ACCOUNTABLE <<<< MENTALLY TOUGH <<<< SCHOLAR-ATHLETES <<<< BAND OF BISON <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
WELCOME TO LEWISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 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 three-globed 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 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 wagons. 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 and its location near state parks as well as 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 as always played a key role in Lewisburg’s social society. As early as 1790, the basics were taught in private homes. In 1805, the “Log Cabin Academy” was built. In 1835, three new schools were added. The present system consists of two elementary schools, a middle school that was recently named the top in the state and a high school. Sixty-five percent of Lewisburg’s high school graduates go on to college.

BISON & GRIDIRON CLUBS
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SELFLESS <<<< ACCOUNTABLE <<<< MENTALLY TOUGH <<<< SCHOLAR-ATHLETES <<<< BAND OF BISON <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
THE BISON CLUB Bucknell has continued its long tradition of academic and athletic excellence in large part because of the Bison Club, which provides support for all of Bucknell’s varsity intercollegiate athletics programs. Membership in the Bison Club helps the Bucknell athletics programs defray expenses of recruiting, equipment purchases and team travel. In fact, Bison Club gifts account for nearly 40 percent of the athletic department’s operating budget. In recent years, the Bison Club has received more than $2 million in donations and the goal is to increase that figure every year. The Bison Club also sponsors the annual Senior Athletic Awards Banquet, one of the highlights of the athletic year at Bucknell. At the banquet, each qualified senior student-athlete is presented with a Bucknell ring, watch or framed varsity letter in recognition of his or her achievements. Special awards honor the most outstanding student-athletes in the senior class. In addition, the Bison Club sponsors the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, which now includes 263 members and is located on the second floor of Gerhard Fieldhouse. Todd Newcomb, Bucknell Class of 1988, is in his 18th year as the director of the Bison Club. He is the second full-time director of the organization since it was founded nearly 60 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.

Bucknell football alumni and friends of the program gathered on July 21, 2018 for the annual Bud Ranck-Tom Gadd Memorial Kickoff Classic at the Bucknell Golf Club. The tournament was founded in 1995 by late Bucknell head football coach Tom Gadd. In the tournament’s second year, Gadd named the event after good friend Bud Ranck, who had passed away earlier that year. To memorialize Gadd after his passing in March 2003, the Ranck family announced that the tournament would bear the names of both Bud Ranck and Tom Gadd. Rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the attendees of the 2018 edition, a diverse mix of former Bison players and coaches along with numerous fans and supporters of the program. Later in the evening, they were treated to dinner, an auction, a raffle and a season preview from head coach Joe Susan in the Langone Center’s Terrace Room. At the dinner, Bucknell University President John Bravman was announced as the 2018 Ranck-Gadd Memorial Award winner for his contributions and support of the Bison football team. The golf tournament format was a scramble. Prizes were awarded to the first- and second-place finishers in each flight’s masters and open divisions.

JOHN BRAVMAN
17th President of Bucknell University 9th 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. His longtime dedication to undergraduate liberal arts education at the highest level has set an innovative and dynamic tone for his presidency. Now in his ninth year at Bucknell, John has steadily built a foundation of support with Bucknellians around the world. In July 2017, he concluded the most ambitious fundraising campaign in University history: the $500 million WE DO Campaign for Bucknell. The campaign, which publicly launched in October of 2012, raised more than $170 million for financial aid endowment, more than $100 million for academic programs and support, and more than $60 million for facilities. John’s leadership has also helped foster an unprecedented period of expansion and improvement to University facilities. During John’s first year in office, the University broke ground on infrastructure for Academic West, Bucknell’s first new academic building in nearly a decade, which opened in August 2013. In August 2015, Bucknell opened a new residential quad, the South Campus Apartments, reaffirming the University’s commitment to an immersive residential learning environment. And under John’s leadership, the University will establish a third college — the College of Management — in July 2017, positioning Bucknell to offer a truly distinct, interdisciplinary undergraduate experience. 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 Downtown Art Gallery. The Greater Susquehanna Valley United Way named Bucknell its 2014 Business of the Year. In his earliest months at Bucknell, John initiated an in-depth examination of the quality of student life by creating the Campus Climate Task Force. This group of faculty and staff assessed student views and actions related to personal responsibility and recommended ways to improve the University experience for all students. In 2014, the President’s Diversity Council created a five-year Diversity Plan to underscore Bucknell’s commitment to diversity as a core institutional and educational value. Prior to joining Bucknell, John spent 35 years at Stanford University, where he led the undergraduate program as the vice provost for undergraduate education. He played a critical role in Stanford’s Campaign for Undergraduate Education, which raised more than $1.1 billion. In recognition of his accomplishments, Stanford awarded him the university’s highest honors for both teaching (1989) and lifetime service (2010). Born in 1957, John grew up in New York City and on Long Island. He completed his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree 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, thin-film mechanical phenomena, microelectronic reliability and high-temperature superconductivity. He recently patented two coatings that may make coronary stents safer for heart-disease patients. In December 2016, John was elected chair of the Geisinger Health System Foundation Board of Directors. John is married to Professor Wendelin Wright, who holds a joint appointment in the mechanical and chemical engineering departments at Bucknell. They have two young sons, Cole and Cooper. He has two older sons, Christopher and Matthew.
JERMAINE TRUAX
Director of Athletics & Recreation 1st Year at Bucknell Edinboro University ’06
Jermaine Truax began his post as Bucknell’s director of athletics & recreation on July 1, 2018. Truax (pronounced TRUE-axe) previously served as Loyola University Chicago’s deputy director of athletics. “Jermaine’s demonstrated leadership abilities, diverse administrative experience and commitment to a true student-athlete model positioned him as an exceptional candidate in what was an extremely competitive search,” said President John Bravman at the time of Truax’s hiring. “I am excited to see the ways in which he helps elevate what is already among the best Division I athletic programs in the country.” “I am honored and excited by this incredible opportunity, and I would like to thank President Bravman and the members of the search committee for their confidence in me,” Truax said. “Bucknell and its student-athletes represent everything that is right about college athletics. There exists here a rare combination of both a great tradition of competing and winning in the arena of play, and, most important to me, first-rate academics.” Truax’s leadership and vision have been widely recognized within collegiate athletics. In 2016, he was selected as one of 23 participants in the National Collegiate Athletics Association’s (NCAA) Pathway Program, which the NCAA describes as a yearlong experiential learning program for senior-level administrators. According to the NCAA, the program “provides an unprecedented opportunity to gain insight into every facet of an athletics department, preparing them to become well-rounded leaders who are equipped with the tools an effective athletics director needs.” Truax also holds the 2012 Rising Star Award, which the National Association for Athletics Compliance gives in recognition of young compliance professionals considered to be emerging leaders within the profession. “Jermaine displayed a clear passion for mentorship, partnership, and providing transformative experiences for student-athletes,” said Professor Linda Smolka, mathematics, who co-chaired the search committee and serves as Bucknell’s Faculty Athletics Representative. “Those attributes, along with his confidence, integrity and dogged work ethic, will no doubt contribute to Jermaine’s success in his new role and, in turn, benefit Bucknell as a whole.” “As I spoke with Mr. Truax, it quickly became clear that he’s committed to ensuring every student-athlete at Bucknell has a high-quality experience,” added Meghan Kovac ’18, a Bucknell softball player and president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. “I am confident my fellow student-athletes will feel inspired by his leadership.” In his previous position, Truax oversaw day-to-day operations of Loyola Chicago’s athletics department and served as the sport administrator for all of its athletics programs including assisting with the administration of the men’s basketball team. Prior to his time at Loyola Chicago, he spent five years at Bowling Green State University, where he served as associate athletics director for compliance and administration. He also served as St. Bonaventure University’s director of compliance and coordinator of internal operations. “Bucknell has made an excellent choice in selecting Jermaine Truax to lead Bison Athletics,” said Loyola’s Athletic Director Steve Watson. “His broad experience in college athletics as a student-athlete, coach and administrator has prepared him for this role at what is an outstanding academic and athletic institution. We greatly appreciate all he has done for us here at Loyola Chicago and are thrilled for the Truax family to have this exciting opportunity.” “Steve has meant the world to me, and I will forever be grateful for his leadership, mentorship and friendship, all of which have contributed to my reaching this exciting moment,” Truax added. “I look forward to building similar, meaningful relationships with Bucknell’s student-athletes, coaches, faculty and staff and with our passionate supporters in the University community and beyond.” Truax succeeded John Hardt, who left Bucknell in January after 18 years to become the vice president and director of athletics at the University of Richmond. A return to Pennsylvania was a bit of a homecoming for Truax, who played football at Edinboro University, where he earned a degree in health & physical education. He also holds a master of science degree in sport management from Slippery Rock University and is pursuing a doctorate in education from Bowling Green. Joining Jermaine in his move to the Lewisburg area will be his wife, Nimra, and their three children.

DOUG BIRDSONG Voice of the Bison 19th Season at Bucknell Marshall ’87
Doug Birdsong enters his 19th season as the “Voice of the Bison” in 2017. A 1987 Marshall University graduate who has called play-by-play for college and high school athletics for nearly 30 years, he was named Radio/TV Coordinator and Marketing Specialist at Bucknell in July 2000. He is just the second full-time “Voice of the Bison,” following in the footsteps of Bob Behler, who called the action for 13 years. In addition to calling the Bucknell football action, Birdsong also handles the play-by-play duties for men’s basketball, as well as numerous other Bison teams. He has worked many NCAA Tournament contests in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer and women’s soccer during his tenure at Bucknell. In 2008, Birdsong took on additional duties as he is responsible for the majority of video shown on Bison Vision on BucknellBison.com. He interviews coaches and student-athletes and obtains highlights from many Bison events to post on the popular Bison Vision, which has received rave reviews as it enters its 11th year in 2017-18. Birdsong also helped initiate and served as host of Bison Live! and Bison Now!, former radio shows that originated from local restaurants. Birdsong, the host of the weekly Bucknell Football Luncheons in the fall, came to Bucknell from AVC Communications in Cambridge, Ohio, where, as the sports director, he managed the play-by-play crews on five radio stations for 11 years. He called play-by-play for Muskingum College football, men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball, and also handled the same duties plus baseball for area high schools. Birdsong was also responsible for writing and producing 11 daily sportscasts focusing on the six area high schools and Muskingum College. During his final five years at AVC, Birdsong coordinated advertising and posted an outstanding record, increasing sales by at least 10 percent each year. Prior to his experience at AVC, Birdsong worked at WTCR in Huntington, West Virginia, for a few years after graduating from Marshall. While he was a student at Marshall, he worked for WMUL as its Sports Director and called football, basketball and baseball for the Thundering Herd. In addition, Birdsong produced and hosted a weekly one-hour sports talk show. He has won numerous awards, including citations from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters for “Best Local Sporting Event Coverage” two years in a row. Birdsong has also won four Outstanding Sports Operation for Play-by-Play citations from the Associated Press in Ohio, and two from the Associated Press in West Virginia. In 1999, he was chosen as the Eastern Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Media Person of the Year.
