QUICK FACTS

BISON NOTES The Bucknell football team will wrap up its campaign by taking on Fordham in the Bronx on Saturday, Nov. 18 at noon. The Bison will look to ride the momentum from their Senior Day shutout of Georgetown into their 2017 finale as they look to secure a winning season.

With a victory the Bison would...

• secure their first winning season since 2014 • finish above .500 for the third time in the past five seasons • finish at least .500 in Patriot League play for the fourth time in the past five seasons • win their season finale for the first time since 2013 • win their final two games of the season for the third time in the past 20 seasons (previous 2013 and 2004) • snap a four-game losing slide to Fordham • defeat Fordham in the Bronx for the first time since 2011 PMS Colors: Navy Blue: 2768Box Score Inside the Georgetown Orange: 165519-man senior class out in style by scoring a Senior Day shut• The Bison sent their Silver: 429They held the Hoyas to 214 yards of total offense and didn’t allow out of Georgetown. them to reach the red zone en route to their 12-0 victory.

• It was Bucknell’s first shutout since Sept. 5, 2015, a 17-0 whitewashing of Marist at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. is only to be used with permission by the Bucknell Director of Athletics.

• CB Colin Jonov led the stifling Bison defense with a career-high nine tackles. He finished with more solo tackles (8) than his previous career high in tackles (6).

• DL 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 2017 finale.

• Offensively, the Bison used two field goals booted by K John Burdick to stake themselves a 6-0 lead early in the third quarter. With eight seconds remaining in that frame, QB John Chiarolanzio connected with TE Marcus Ademilola for a 36-yard touchdown while under pressure to bring the score to 12-0.

• 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 on Oct. 14.

• P Alex Pechin played a key role in flipping the field in the Bison’s favor, averaging 43.7 yards per punt. He dropped five of his seven punts inside the 20.

• Burdick’s pair of field goals gave him 11 on the season, 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, with Steve Barimo (1987, 1989) and Ross Coleman (1997, 1998) each doing so twice. The most recent kicker to accomplish this feat was Derek Maurer (11) in 2014.

• Georgetown was the first team Bucknell did not allow to reach the red zone in 2017.

• The Bison finished .500 at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in 2017, at 3-3.

They last posted a record of at least .500 at home in 2014 (3-2).

• This was Bucknell’s first Senior Day victory since 2013, a 17-7 win over the Hoyas.

• With the win, the 37th of his Bucknell career, head coach Joe Susan tied Bob Odell for sixth in program history.

Bucknell at a Glance • Bucknell is 5-5 (2-3 Patriot League) on the season and currently owns the Patriot League’s second-best overall winning percentage.

• The Bison went 3-2 in non-conference action. This is the sixth time in Joe Susan’s tenure as head coach Bucknell posted a winning record in non-conference play.

• The Bison, who placed fourth in the Patriot League with a 3-3 record a year ago, were picked to take fifth in the 2017 preseason poll.

• Bucknell returned 39 of its 59 letterwinners from 2016. That group includes 15 seniors, 14 juniors and nine sophomores. Six seniors—DL Abdullah Anderson, S Connor Golden, CB Trey Johnson, TE Andrew Podbielski, LB Mark Pyles and LB Ben Richard—are three-time letterwinners.

In addition, Anderson, Marine and Richard were honored on the Preseason All-Patriot League Team while Anderson was named to the Reese’s Senior Bowl’s 2018 Watch List.

• Bucknell ranks in the FCS’s top 15 in the following statistical categories: net punting (5th, 39.60), defensive touchdowns (t-5th, 4), passing defense (7th, 153.9), team passing efficiency defense (10th, 107.62), fewest penalty yards per game (11th, 41.30), total defense (12th, 300.7) and blocked kicks (t-14th, 4).

• The Bison have excelled at stopping the passing game, allowing an average of just 153.9 passing yards per game. They held nine of their 10 opponents under 200 passing yards, including four under 150 in Marist (130), William & Mary (105), Lafayette (90) and Georgetown (79). Notably, they limited Lehigh QB Brad Mayes, who entered PMS Colors: the game second in the FCS in passing yards per game (341.5), to just 193 yards.

Navy Blue: 2768 • CB Colin Jonov ranks in the FCS’s top two in both interception return yards (2nd, 1655 159) andOrange: interception return touchdowns (t-2nd, 2).

Fordham at a Glance o is only to be used with permission by the Bucknell Director of Athletics.

• Fordham is currently 3-7 (2-3 Patriot League). The Rams, who are coming off their bye week, fell to Holy Cross 42-20, in their most recent game on Nov. 4.

• During their contest against the Crusaders, RB Chase Edmonds broke the Patriot League’s career rushing record of 5,621 and career all-purpose yards record of 7,121.

He enters the 2017 finale with 5,677 rushing yards and 7,184 all-purpose yards.

• Edmonds, the 2017 Patriot League Preseason Offensive Player of the Year and a 2016 consensus All-American, has been slowed by injuries. He is currently second on the Rams to RB D’Angelo Palladino (475) with 392 rushing yards in six games.

• Palladino’s total was bolstered by a 297-yard, three-touchdown outing in Fordham’s 45-35 victory over Lehigh on Oct. 28.

• LB Glenn Cunningham, who leads Fordham with 75 tackles (47 solo) and ranks fifth in the Patriot League in tackles per game (8.3), was added to the STATS FCS Jerry Rice Award Watch List. That award is presented to the FCS Freshman of the Year.

• Fordham, the 2016 Patriot League runner-up with a 5-1 record, was selected to again finish second in the 2017 preseason poll.

The Bucknell/Fordham Series • Bucknell leads the all-time series, 18-14, but Fordham has won the past four games.

• In three of those contests, the Rams’ margin of victory was less than 10 points. The 2014 meeting was decided in overtime (30-27) while Fordham blocked a last-second field goal to win the 2013 game (21-23).The Rams were ranked in the nation’s top 10 at the time of both of those meetings.

• A year ago, Fordham spoiled Bucknell’s Senior Day with a 36-22 victory. RB Chase Edmonds ran for 181 yards and three touchdowns while QB Kevin Anderson completed 17 passes for 327 yards and two touchdowns.

• For Bucknell, RB Chad Freshnock rushed for 95 yards while DL Abdullah Anderson recorded 3.5 tackles for a loss and 2.5 sacks, career highs that stands to this day.

• The Rams won the 2015 meeting in the Bronx by a 24-16 margin. The Bison pulled within one, at 17-16, with 1:44 remaining in regulation but had their two-point conversion attempt intercepted. Fordham ultimately recovered the on-side kick and tacked on a touchdown with six seconds left to play.

• With a victory on Saturday, the Rams will match the longest winning streak posted during the all-time series, set by Bucknell from 1993 to 1997.

Season Finales • Bucknell is 51-69-11 (.431) all-time in season finales.

Bucknell (4-7, 3-3 PL) was led by 95 yards on the ground by Chad Freshnock, who received his second-most carries of the year (28) with regular starter Joey DeFloria out due to injury, while freshman John Chiarolanzio came off the bench to complete 14 of 33 passes for 140 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Bison posted five sacks, including a career-high 2.5 by Abdullah Anderson, while Brice Sydnor posted a career-high 14 tackles from his safety position. Bret Berg added eight tackles, one pass breakup and a first-quarter interception return for a touchdown. Anderson also had two blocked field goals, helping to keep the game close in the first half.

Bucknell was within one score of Fordham (8-3, 5-1 PL) late in the fourth quarter after a Freshnock touchdown. The Bison attempted an onside kick, which the Rams recovered. Edmonds, the nation’s leading rusher, then zig-zagged down the field for 44 yards to set up his own touchdown with 1:30 left to seal the game for the Rams.

The Bison offense struggled early in the game as it had just 21 yards in the first quarter and 95 overall in the first half. However, Bucknell trailed just 21-9 at halftime thanks to its defense. Berg’s interception return on the first play of a Fordham drive gave the Bison their first points and tied the game at 7-7.

After a perfectly-placed 28-yard punt by Berg was downed at the one-yard line, Anderson went down in the end zone for a safety, bringing Bucknell to within 14-9 with 2:51 to play in the first half.

On the third play of the next drive for the Rams, Anderson connected with Robbie Cantelli for a 74yard touchdown pass to help Fordham take a 21-9 lead into halftime.

Bucknell opened the second half with an efficient seven-play, 59-yard drive that concluded with an interesting play. Freshnock tried to leap over the offensive line and into the end zone from one yard out, but the ball was knocked loose just as he crossed the goal line. Andrew Podbielski recovered the fumble in the end zone, resulting in a Bison touchdown.

The score remained 21-15 until the fourth quarter. Edmonds converted a 4th-and-1 from the Bucknell six-yard line and then scored his second touchdown one play later to give Fordham a 29-15 edge with 14:45 left in the final period.

Bucknell narrowed its deficit to 29-22 later in the quarter when Freshnock scored his ninth rushing touchdown of the season, completing a 10-play, 58-yard drive. Chiarolanzio completed four passes on the drive, including two to Will Carter and two to Kyle Kinner. Following that score the Bison attempted their onside kick.

Bucknell finished the game with 275 yards of total offense, while Fordham posted 500.

Kinner led Bucknell in receptions (7) and receiving yards (55), while Carter had four catches for 50 yards. He finished his career with school records for both receptions (195) and receiving yards (2,744).

Austin Longi (114) and Cantelli (113) both went over 100 yards receiving for Fordham.

@Bucknell_FB

The Bucknell football team kicked off its 2017 campaign with a commanding 45-6 victory over Marist on a rainy night at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in front of 3,024 fans.

The Bison broke open the game early, scoring four touchdowns in the first quarter, including three in the final two minutes of the frame. Their performance on the field set the stage for a rousing post-game fireworks show.

With 8:58 on the clock in the first quarter, Colin Jonov opened the scoring, picking off a Mike White pass and racing 64 yards down the Marist sideline for the score. After a bad snap on the extra point attempt, Jack Horan corralled the ball and found Andrew Podbielski in the right corner of the end zone to give Bucknell an 8-0 lead.

The Bison scored three touchdowns in the final two minutes of the opening stanza to build a 28-0 advantage. First, after a 4:11 drive during which Bucknell went 3-for-3 in third-down conversions, Matt Muh connected with Kyle Kinner for an 11-yard score.

On Marist’s next possession, Nick Zarkoski sacked White deep in the Marist end. The ball came free, and Blake Fletcher pounced on it in the end zone to extend the Bison’s lead to 21-0.

Steven Walier put an exclamation mark on the quarter by hauling in a 45-yard touchdown pass with no time left on the clock.

Bucknell carried the momentum from its explosive opening stanza into the second quarter.

After the Bison defense forced the Red Foxes to go three and out on their first drive, a penalty on the punt gave the offense the ball on the Marist 28. Bucknell took advantage, and Chad Freshnock capped the abbreviated drive with a three-yard touchdown rush.

The Red Foxes thwarted the Bison’s shutout bid 29 seconds before halftime after one of the longest drives of the game. Marcelleus Calhoun finished off the drive, which accounted for 97 of Marist’s 119 first-half yards, with a four-yard score.

As the rain picked up, both team’s defenses took center stage. The teams combined for just 156 yards of total offense in the second half, 121 of which belonged to Bucknell.

The third quarter’s lone score, a 31-yard John Burdick field goal, came with just 51 seconds Note: This logo left on the clock. Freshnock completed the game’s scoring at the 3:29 mark of the finale frame with his second touchdown rush of the game. Leading up to that play, Muh found a wide-open Podbielski for a 31-yard gain on a 3rd and 7 to set the Bison up on the Marist 15.

Muh completed 16 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with seven different receivers. Podbielski led the Bison with a career-best 60 receiving yards while Joey DeFloria had the most catches with four.

The Bison defense limited Marist to just 154 yards of total offense, including 24 on the ground.

Mark Pyles led the way with eight tackles (five solo) while Ben Richard was close behind with seven (six solo). Eight different Bison had a tackle for a loss, with Abdullah Anderson, Fletcher and Pyles each recording two. Four Bison—Fletcher, Simeon Page, Richard and Zarkoski—had a sack.

Alex Pechin helped tilt the field in Bucknell’s favor, averaging 47.0 yards per punt. He dropped three inside the 20 and had two touchbacks.

@Bucknell_FB

Holy Cross toppled the Bucknell football team, 20-0, in the Patriot League opener for both teams at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

Diquan Walker rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns while Peter Pujals, a two-time All-Patriot League selection, threw for 178 yards to lead the Crusaders (1-1) past the Bison (1-1).

After recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff, Holy Cross started its first drive on the Bucknell 22. While the Crusaders took three penalties on that drive, which pushed them as far back as the Bison 32, Pujals connected with Richie DeNicola for a 30-yard gain that set up Walker for a two-yard touchdown rush.

The Bison had a prime opportunity to even the score after Bryan Marine tipped a Pujals pass to Aaron Brown, setting up the offense on the Bucknell 45 with 10:27 on the clock. The Bison reached the Holy Cross 23 thanks to a pass interference penalty and a six-yard Jack Horan reception. But, on a 4th and 4, Matt Muh’s pass to Horan fell just short.

With 7:01 remaining in the first, Jack Kutschke forced a fumble, and Tyler Ahmad recovered it to give Holy Cross the ball on the Bucknell 44. The Bison defense came up big, forcing the Crusaders to settle for a 25-yard field goal. During that Holy Cross possession, Chanse Riley had a pair of tackles and a pass breakup.

On Bucknell’s first drive of the second quarter, Teddy Capsis sacked Muh deep in the Bison end, and the ball came loose. While Akeem Walcott recovered it on the 13-yard line, the Bucknell defense held fast to force Holy Cross to settle for a 31-yard field goal.

The Bison’s longest drive of the first half started at the 6:53 mark of the second quarter. On the second play, Chad Freshnock broke free for a 30-yard gain that advanced Bucknell to the Crusader 34. Freshnock later caught a seven-yard pass on a 4th and 7 to keep the drive alive, but the Bison couldn’t get past the Holy Cross 24. John Burdick’s 41-yard field goal attempt ultimately sailed wide left.

At the midpoint of the third quarter, the Crusaders were threatening to extend their lead. In five plays, they went from their nine-yard line to Bucknell’s 30. After Abdullah Anderson and Blake Fletcher teamed to sack Pujals for a loss of six yards, bringing up a 3rd and 11, a pass interference penalty gave Holy Cross a first down. But Jon Fox stepped in front of a Pujals pass on the next play to regain the ball for the Bison.

Bucknell went three and out on the resulting drive, and the Crusaders took over on the Bison 35 after a 19-yard punt return by Alim Muhammad. Walker capped the abbreviated drive by rushing for his second touchdown, a two-yard score, at 1:48 of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Bison had the longest drive of the game, an 18-play, 71-yard drive that drained 9:37 off the clock. Muh opened that drive by connecting with Horan for a 14-yard gain and later found Kinner on back-to-back plays for 13 yards. At the Holy Cross 46, Bucknell faced a 4th and 2, but Andrew Podbielski caught a four-yard pass to keep the drive alive.

Right after Podbielski’s reception, Muh scrambled 16 yards for a first down. Five plays later, Joey DeFloria nearly found the end zone, but Ryan Brady tackled him a yard shy. Brady’s shoestring tackle ended up being the reason the Crusaders earned their shutout since Oct. 24, 2015 against Lafayette.

Holy Cross held strong on the goal line, stuffing two DeFloria rushing attempts short of the end zone and hurrying Muh into throwing an incomplete pass. On 4th and goal from the Crusader nine-yard line, Ahmad tipped Muh’s pass out of Andrew Owers’s reach.

@Bucknell_FB

William & Mary used an explosive third quarter to down the Bucknell football team, 30-9, at Walter J. Zable Stadium in the first meeting between the teams since 1996.

At halftime, the Bison (1-2) trailed by a single point, 10-9, but the Tribe (2-1) scored three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter to open up their advantage.

On the opening drive of the contest, the Bison marched to the Tribe 24. Early in the drive, Matt Muh connected with Andrew Podbielski for an 11-yard gain and Joey DeFloria scampered for 11 yards on back-to-back plays. But the Bison were ultimately forced to punt after a false start penalty turned a 3rd and 8 into a 3rd and 13 and Isaiah Stephens sacked Muh for a loss of five yards.

The Tribe carried the momentum from that defensive stand into their first drive, covering 80 yards on eight plays to score the game’s first touchdown. After Nate Evans broke free for a 34yard rush to set up William & Mary on the Bucknell four-yard line, he capped the drive with a one-yard score.

Early in the second quarter, the Tribe had a prime opportunity to go up by two touchdowns after Jalen Christian returned a punt 48 yards to the Bison 20. On the next play, Jaret Anderson nearly found the end zone, but Mark Pyles and Colin Jonov brought him down a single yard short.

The Bucknell defense held fast, with Ben Richard stuffing Anderson short of the goal line and Jon Fox wrapping up Evans for a loss of two yards. After Tommy McKee’s pass to Jalen Christian fell incomplete, William & Mary was forced to settle for a 20-yard field goal with 7:22 on the clock.

The Bison got on the board on their next drive. On the first play, Muh found Podbielski for a 20-yard gain that brought Bucknell to midfield. While it appeared Nate Akins forced Podbielski to fumble the ball, which was picked up by Aaron Swinton and returned for a touchdown, Podbielski’s knee was ruled to have been down after a review.

Three passes later, the Bison were in the red zone. First, Muh found Alan Butler for a 13-yard gain; then, Jack Horan made a sliding catch for a 21-yard gain that advanced Bucknell to the Tribe 16. At the 5:24 mark, Muh found Podbielski in the corner of the end zone for an eight-yard score.

Bill Murray blocked the extra point attempt to keep the score 10-6.

Note: This logo After the Bison defense forced William & Mary to go three and out on its next drive, three rushes by DeFloria, including one for 19 yards, brought the offense across midfield. Later, Kyle Kinner made a leaping catch for a 31-yard gain that brought Bucknell to the Tribe’s five-yard line.

John Burdick capped that drive with a 33-yard field goal after William & Mary stuffed two rushing attempts and a fumbled snap backed the Bison up to the Tribe 16.

On William & Mary’s second drive of the third quarter, McKee scrambled out of a collapsing pocket to avoid being sacked. He also drew a face mask penalty, which brought the Tribe from their 26 to their 47. McKee then connected with Daniel Kuzjak for a 29-yard gain that advanced William & Mary to the Bison 24. Three plays later, Noah Giles scampered 15 yards for a score.

The Tribe extended their lead to 23-9 less than two minutes later after Nate Atkins forced a fumble, which was returned by Corey Parker 19 yards for a touchdown. William & Mary later brought the score to 30-9 after Tyler Crist capped an eight-play, 60-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown catch with 44 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

The third quarter proved to be the difference in the game, as neither team would score again in the fourth.

• The 46-yard field goal was eight yards longer than K John Burdick’s previous career long.

It capped a perfect night for him, as he made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his point-after bids to finish with a career-high 10 points.

• P Alex Pechin averaged a career-high 48.4 yards on nine attempts to round out a big night for the Bison kickers.

• QB John Chiarolanzio set career highs in passing yards (187), completions (21) and attempts (34) in his first 2017 start. He also matched his career-long rush with a 17-yard run that helped set up RB Chad Freshnock’s fourth-quarter touchdown.

• In his first game as one of Bucknell’s captains, RB Joey DeFloria rushed for a season-best 80 yards and two touchdowns.

• A trio of Bison reached the double figures in tackles: LB Ben Richard (15), LB Mark Pyles (12) and S Joe Lauro (10).

Through the first three games, Bucknell’s single-season high in tackles was eight.

• Richard also recovered a fumble while Lauro and S Aaron Brown picked off passes.

• Richard made his 200th career tackle during the game while Pechin recorded his 100th career punt.

• With the win, their second at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in 2017, the Bison exceeded their home win total from 2016 and 2015.

@Bucknell_FB

John Burdick booted a career-best 46-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Bucknell football team to a thrilling 34-31 victory over Sacred Heart at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

Joey DeFloria rushed for two touchdowns, Chad Freshnock added another, and John Chiarolanzio threw for 187 yards and a touchdown in his first start of the campaign to help the Bison improve to 2-2.

Sacred Heart (2-2) rallied from 14 points down in the fourth quarter and tied the game at 31 apiece when Kevin Duke found Lawrence Nembhard for a 41-yard touchdown with 4:12 remaining in regulation. The Pioneers forced a Bison punt and advanced the ball near midfield, but Ben Richard and Nick Zarkoski teamed up to stuff Duke inches short of a first down on a 4th and 1, giving the Bison a chance to win it.

A 24-yard pass from Chiarolanzio to Marcus Ademilola on 3rd-and-8 put the Bison into field goal range, but an incompletion, a one-yard loss and a holding penalty pushed them back to the Sacred Heart 35. Then, Matt Muh, in at quarterback after Chiarolanzio was shaken up, hit Jack Horan for a six-yard gain to the 29 with two seconds remaining.

After the Pioneers called two timeouts to ice the kicker, Burdick drilled the 46-yard field goal and sprinted to the opposite end zone in celebration while the bench emptied in pursuit.

At the end of the first quarter, Bucknell held a 14-0 advantage. The Bison opened the scoring with 10:45 on the clock when Chiarolanzio found a wide-open Horan for a 38-yard touchdown.

Less than two minutes later, after Trevor Fennimore forced a fumble and Ben Richard recovered it at the Sacred Heart 16, DeFloria capped the abbreviated drive with a 12-yard touchdown run.

Early in the second quarter, the Bison extended their lead to 17-0 on a 30-yard Burdick field goal. The Pioneers got on the board with 1:38 left in the frame, with Josh Freiria capping a 12-play, 73-yard drive with a 34-yard field goal.

Just when it looked like Bucknell would carry a two-touchdown lead into the locker room, Kevin Barry picked off a Chiarolanzio pass and raced 60 yards for a score with just 58 seconds on the clock. The Pioneers carried the momentum from Barry’s pick six into the third quarter, with Ezekiel Ennis returning the opening kickoff 98 yards for a score that tied the game at 17 apiece.

On Sacred Heart’s next drive, Aaron Brown intercepted a Duke pass and returned it 19 yards to the Pioneer 13. The Bison took advantage; DeFloria again did the honors, rushing three yards for a score.

After the teams traded three and outs, Bucknell took over with 4:39 remaining in the third quarter. Chiarolanzio appeared to hit Alex Twiford for a 48-yard touchdown, but an illegal block in the back penalty brought the ball back to the Sacred Heart 40. The Bison then marched to the red zone, with Chiarolanzio breaking free for a 17-yard gain that brought them to the three-yard line just as time expired in the quarter. Freshnock ultimately punched the ball into the end zone from one yard out 41 seconds into the final fame, giving the Bison a 31-17 lead.

The Pioneers cut Bucknell’s edge to a touchdown on their next drive, covering 79 yards in six plays. After Duke found Byron Barney for a 47-yard gain, Eli Terry scampered 11-yards for a score that made it a 31-24 game.

@Bucknell_FB

Monmouth toppled the Bucknell football team, 35-13, in the first meeting between the teams at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

Four different Hawks rushed for touchdowns, and Erik Zokouri enjoyed his first career 100yard rushing game, to help Monmouth move to 4-1 on the season. With the loss, Bucknell will enter its bye week 2-3.

Monmouth took a 7-0 lead on its first drive, which was highlighted by a 46-yard catch by Jake Powell that advanced the Hawks to the Bison 15. Pete Guerriero capped the six-play, 79-yard drive by punching his way into the end zone from six yards out.

In the first quarter, Bucknell’s best opportunity to get on the board came after John Chiarolanzio found a wide-open Jack Horan in the middle of the field for a 76-yard gain. That play, the first of the Bison’s drive, took them from their nine-yard line to the Hawks’ 15.

But the Monmouth defense held fast, recording two tackles for a combined loss of six yards to push Bucknell back to the Hawk 21. While Chiarolanzio found Joey DeFloria for a seven-yard gain, the Bison came up nine yards short of a first down and opted to attempt a 31-yard field goal.

But a bad snap forced John Burdick to attempt a pass, which was intercepted by Teddy Martinez.

Just six seconds into the second quarter, the Hawks extended their lead to 14-0. Reggie White Jr.’s three-yard touchdown reception completed a nine-play, 86-yard drive that began at the 3:58 mark of the first quarter after Bucknell’s failed field goal. During that drive, Zokouri had a 23-yard run and Kenji Bahar completed an 11-yard pass to White Jr., a 19-yard pass to Powell and a 20yard pass to Zokouri.

The Bison got on the board at the 10:05 mark of the second quarter. After Bryan Marine jumped in front of a Bahar screen pass and returned it 10 yards to the Monmouth four-yard line, Chiarolanzio found Marcus Ademilola for a three-yard touchdown.

The Hawks responded with a touchdown on their next drive. After Zokuri ran the ball fourstraight times for a combined 34 yards, Vinny Grasso broke free for a 39-yard touchdown run with 8:13 on the clock.

Note: This logo Bucknell had an opportunity to trim Monmouth’s advantage after Brice Sydnor forced a fumble and Joe Lauro recovered it on the Bison 29 with 2:56 left in the half. On the first play of that drive, DeFloria scampered for an 18-yard gain to the Bucknell 47. Two plays later, Alex Twiford hauled in a 16-yard pass that advanced the Bison to the Hawk 33. But they were ultimately forced to punt after Sam Pierce sacked Chiarolanzio for a loss of six yards and Dejaun Cooper tied up Chad Freshnock for a three-yard loss.

The Hawks controlled the third quarter, holding the Bison to just 15 yards of offense and scoring two touchdowns to build a 35-6 advantage. First, Devell Jones capped a 10-play, 59-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown rush at the 8:17 mark. Then, with 2:19 to play in the quarter, Bahar scored on a one-yard quarterback keeper to complete a nine-play, 38-yard drive.

Marquis Carter completed the game’s scoring, rushing three yards for his first career touchdown with 11:26 left to play in the game.

The Hawks totaled 463 yards of total offense, 289 on the ground and 171 through the air. The Bison finished with 251 yards of total offense, 204 of which were through the air.

• 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.

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.

@Bucknell_FB

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.

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 This logo Note: 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).

• 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.

@Bucknell_FB

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.

• 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.

@Bucknell_FB

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 accountNote: This logo ed 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.

• 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).

@Bucknell_FB

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).
