Psyched for the first game back in the 'Burg in a LONG time -- too long. The Bison, albeit a middling Patriot League team, boast a pair of strong running backs. Both of their backs finished with double-digit touchdown totals last season. Bucknell also boasts two great defensive players, one at the linebacker position, and another along the defensive line.
We're looking for the Tribe's passing game and defensive backfield to finish with gaudy totals this weekend -- the LAST OOC game before CAA play. Time to see what this team is capable of.
Check out our preview article below. LET'S GO TRIBE.

W&M is off the following weekend. Stony Brook game isn't until Sept 30th.
We'll score 36 points?

Great catch -- changing the article now to reflect that!
I don't know if I see them scoring 13 on us after they laid an egg at home against a projected 4th place Patriot League Holy Cross.
After Elon last year, I will never be overconfident of a home result ever again. Well maybe if we played VMI....
Long gone are the days when they beat Virginia multiple years in a row and frequently beat Tech. Although they will be playing VT in 2026 again.
Hope we play well Saturday night. My family will be there along with my brother's family as well. Looking forward to a fun game and fun weekend. Winning at home is a must.

10 against UVA, 20 against NSU. They'll score 40 this week and 80 the next week. Can't argue with science.
I'd love for the D to get some turnovers on Saturday. We've been missing them the past two weeks

Putting up 80 on a bye week would be impressive.

640 against JMU !!
I don't think I ever scored 640 in the NCAA Football game.

Well there's a first time for everything!
If we can't whack the buckets, bucknells, or whatevers, we should hang it up. Why do we play teams most people have never heard of?

most people have never heard of our team
Especially true of where Frank lives. Nobody has heard of us. It's all relative.
Of course, I still hold out hope... (For the Bold)...

If we're being honest, we may need to put up 640 vs. JMU to have a chance in that game.

Rivalry games like this are generally close. We played them tight last year and won two years ago. Keep the faith !!
