Sacred Heart 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. With 1:29 left on the clock, LB Ben Richard and DL 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. QB John Chiarolanzio set career highs in passing yards (187), completions (21) and attempts (34) in his first 2017 start.

3 2017 BISON FOOTBALL MEDIA BISON A Stifling Defense The Bison rank 13th among FCS programs in total defense, allowing an average of yards per game. They are the lone Patriot League team in the top 30 (Georgetown is next, at 33rd, allowing an average of yards per game). Bucknell is one of only 24 teams that have allowed less than 300 yards per game. Of that group, only 14 have held their opponents under 275 yards per game. The Bison also rank in the FCS s top 35 in rushing defense (31st, 107.3) and scoring defense (t-32nd, 21.8). The Bison have limited all four of their opponents to less than 200 rushing yards: Marist (24), Holy Cross (134), William & Mary (176) and Sacred Heart (95).They have allowed over 200 passing yards just once, holding Marist (130) and William & Mary (105) under 150. Most notably, Bucknell limited Holy Cross QB Peter Pujals, who threw for 358 yards (1 TD) against UConn, 367 yards (5 TD) against then No. 11/9 New Hampshire and 222 yards (2 TD) against No. 25 Dartmouth, to 178 yards (0 TD). Interestingly, the Bison have been held without a sack for two-straight games. Against Sacred Heart, Bucknell had its second multi-interception game of the 2017 campaign. LB Ben Richard also recorded the Bison s second fumble recovery of the season in that contest. From 2011 to 2015, Bucknell led the Patriot League in total defense and rushing defense. A year ago, the Bison finished second to Colgate in both of these categories. Pechin Cracks FCS Top Three After averaging a career-best 48.4 yards per punt against Sacred Heart, P Alex Pechin s season punting average improved to Pechin vaulted from 11th to third in the FCS rankings. His average would also crack the FBS s top 20. In part because of Pechin s efforts, Bucknell entered the national top 20 in net punting (t-20th, 38.41). Through four games, Pechin has posted 10 punts of 50 or more yards, matching his total from That season, he was an All-Patriot League First Team selection. Monmouth at a Glance Monmouth is currently 3-1 (0-0 Big South Conference) on the season. Like the Bison, the Hawks won their most recent game in thrilling fashion. Behind Eric Zokouri s 25-yard touchdown run, they edged Hampton on the road, 30-23, in overtime. Zokouri, who carried the ball nine times for 77 yards, was ultimately named the Big South Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Pirates. Monmouth, which finished 4-7 (0-5 Big South) a year ago, was selected to take fourth in the Big South in the 2017 preseason poll. Four Hawks DB Mike Basile, TE Jake Powell, OL Alex Thompson, WR Reggie White Jr. were voted to the Preseason All-Big South Team. In addition, Basile was recognized as a STATS First Team Preseason All-American and was named to the Buck Buchanan Watch List. Basile has lived up to his preseason accolades thus far. The senior currently stands second in the FCS ranks with an average of 7.5 solo tackles per game. He is also 12th in total tackles per game, averaging As a team, Monmouth ranks in the FCS s top 30 in the following statistical categories: turnover margin (t-15th, 1.00), rushing defense (16th, 82.3), kickoff returns (16th, 24.77) and red zone offense (t-25th,.882).

Bucknell Football Routs Marist, 45-6, in Season Opener 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 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.

QB Matt Muh finished with 138 yards on 22-for-39 passing, connecting with eight different receivers. WR Jack Horan (48) and WR Alan Butler (36) each exceeded 30 receiving yards. During the contest, S Joe Lauro made his 100th career tackle while LB Ben Richard recorded his 100th career solo tackle. Lauro led the Bison defense with eight tackles (five solo) against the Crusaders. The Bison limited Holy Cross QB Peter Pujals, who threw for 358 yards and one touchdown against FBS foe UConn on Aug. 28, to 178 yards and no touchdowns. The Crusaders stretched their winning streak over the Bison in Lewisburg to four games. Bucknell last suffered a shutout on Sept. 28, 2013, a 16-0 loss to Sacred Heart. The Crusaders scored 13 of their 20 points off of turnovers. They recovered three fumbles and picked off one pass. Bucknell held a slim 30:48 to 29:12 advantage in time of possession. 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 Tops Bucknell Football in Patriot League Opener 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.

This was Bucknell and William & Mary s first meeting since 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 Uses Big Third Quarter to Down Bucknell Football 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 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 34- yard 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 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.

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 John Burdick s Last-Second Field Goal Lifts Bucknell Football to Win John Burdick booted a career-best 46-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Bucknell football team to a thrilling 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 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 game.
