Marist snapped a 137 minute, 42 second scoreless stretch against Bucknell with a field goal on its first drive. Marist s third-quarter touchdown was its first against Bucknell in 179 minutes, 55 seconds, dating back to Joey DeFloria posted his first 100-yard rushing game (145 yards) in his first career start. Bucknell forced six turnovers. Bryan Marine and Doug Whitlock recovered fumbles while Bret Berg, Connor Golden, Joe Lauro and Nick O Brien recorded interceptions. It was the Bison s most takeaways since a 2011 game at Lafayette. Bucknell s defense posted 11 tackles for loss and six sacks. It marked the most sacks for the Bison since a 2014 home game against Fordham when they also posted six. Ben Richard led the Bison defense with 13 tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks and one pass breakup. Alex Pechin connected on a 46-yard field goal in the closing minutes of the game. It was the longest field goal by a Bison since Will Carney s 47-yarder at Holy Cross in Jack Horan, who moved from QB to WR during preseason camp, caught a 71-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Defense Leads Bucknell to Season-Opening Win at Marist Bucknell s defense forced six turnovers and totaled six sacks, Joey DeFloria rushed for a career-high 145 yards in his first career start at running back and Jack Horan had a 71-yard touchdown reception in his first career game as a wide receiver as the Bucknell football team opened the 2016 season with a victory at Marist at Tenney Stadium. Five of Bucknell s six takeaways occurred in the first half when it built a 20-3 lead. The Bison s five firsthalf takeaways were recorded by five different players as Doug Whitlock had a fumble recovery and Nick O Brien, Joe Lauro, Bret Berg and Connor Golden recorded interceptions. Bryan Marine added a strip of a Marist (0-1) receiver near the goal line to save a sure touchdown in the second half. The six forced turnovers were the most for Bucknell since a 2011 win at Lafayette played in a steady snow. DeFloria was impressive in his first career start with 145 yards on 27 carries. He also ran for two firsthalf touchdowns. Linebacker Ben Richard led the Bison defense with 13 tackles, four tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. Ben Schumacher also had two sacks and three tackles for loss, while Abdullah Anderson posted 1.5 sacks and two tackles for loss. A fast-paced, no-huddle Marist offense came out strong in the first quarter, registering a 37-yard field goal by Mike Maccarone on its first drive, but it was all Bucknell the rest of the first half as the Bison scored 20 unanswered points prior to halftime. The Red Foxes had five turnovers and one punt on their final six possessions of the first half, and Bucknell scored 13 of its first-half points following turnovers. The Bison took the lead for good when DeFloria broke through the middle of the line and scampered into the end zone from 32 yards out for his first career rushing touchdown. It was the second possession of the game for Bucknell, which rushed for 176 yards compared to 78 for Marist. Bucknell extended its lead to 14-3 early in the second quarter when R.J. Nitti connected with former quarterback Horan on a career-long 71-yard touchdown pass. Nitti found a wide open Horan down the right sideline and Horan ran the final 40 yards untouched. DeFloria made it 20-3 with a four-yard run up the middle midway through the second quarter. He ran four times on the drive for 24 yards and finished the first half with 97 yards on 15 carries. The Red Foxes were limited to just 101 yards of total offense in the first half after their opening scoring drive. Marist closed the gap to in the second half and was still within midway through the fourth quarter when Marine pulled the ball away from Lawrence Dickens just as Dickens approached the end zone. Alex Pechin added two field goals (24 and 46 yards) to account for Bucknell s six second-half points. The 46-yarder with 1:10 left on the clock was a career-long boot. Nitti finished 11-for-26 passing for 172 yards and one touchdown. The senior moved up to fifth on the program s career completions list and is now tied for second on the school s career touchdown passes list with 31. Marist quarterback Mike White was 20-for-36 for 251 yards, but threw four interceptions. Marcellus Calhoun led the Red Foxes with 60 rushing yards on 17 carries. Bucknell improved to all-time in season openers and is now 11-1 all-time against Marist. The Red Foxes have never scored 20 points against the Bison and their second-half touchdown was their first against Bucknell since SCORING SUMMARY Team QT Time Scoring Play Conversion Plays-Yds TOP Score MU 1st 12:53 Maccarone 37yd field goal : BU 1st 08:02 DeFloria 32yd run Pechin kick : BU 2nd 13:45 Horan 71yd pass from Nitti Pechin kick : BU 2nd 05:47 DeFloria 4yd run Pechin kick failed : MU 3rd 00:40 White 5yd run Maccarone kick : BU 4th 09:12 Pechin 24yd field goal : BU 4th 01:10 Pechin 46yd field goal : TEAM LEADERS BUCKNELL Rushing Att Yds TD Lg Avg DeFloria Freshnock Passing C-A-I Yds TD Lg Sack Nitti Receiving Rec Yds TD Lg Carter Horan Tackles Solo Ast Total TFL Yds Richard Marine Golden Schumacher Anderson MARIST Rushing Att Yds TD Lg Avg Calhoun Cummings Passing C-A-I Yds TD Lg Sack White Francis Receiving Rec Yds TD Lg Christian Dickens Tackles Solo Ast Total TFL Yds Beans Marston
