It will be the first meeting between the Bison and Pioneers. Sacred Heart is coming off back-to-back victories over Division II opponents Lincoln (W, 45-3) and Chowan (W, 78-35).

Sacred Heart ranks in the top 20 nationally in eight key statistical categories and at 4-0 is off to its best start since Bucknell will look to bounce back from a loss at Cornell that featured six turnovers in rainy conditions. The Bison held the lead until late in the first half and they outgained the Big Red by a margin overall and dominated time of possession (39:30-20:30). BUCKNELL VS.
