teams at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.Diquan Walker rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns while Peter Pujals, a two-time All-Pa-

triot League selection, threw for 178 yards to lead the Crusaders (1-1) past the Bison (1-1). Afterrecoveringafumbleontheopeningkickoff,HolyCrossstarteditsfirstdriveontheBuck-

nell 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.

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 rush-ing 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.

TEAM STATISTICS GAME NOTES• Bucknell became the 19th NCAA FCS program to reach the 600-win plateau.

• CB Colin Jonov’s interception return for a touchdown was the sixth-longest touchdown in pro-gram history. Bucknell’s longest pick 6, it is one of only six scoring plays of at least 95 yards. The otherfivewereallkickoffreturns.

• Of Bucknell’s 17 scoring plays of at least 90 yards, 12 were kickoff returns, three were runs from the line of scrimmage and two were interception returns. Joe Glenn owned the previous school record for longest interception return for a touchdown, a 90-yard score in a 33-28 win over Delaware State in 2003.

• Jonov’s interception return was later featured on ESPN’s College Football Live.

• Bucknell last went to overtime on Sept. 24, 2016. VMI won that game, which went to triple overtime, 23-17. The Bison last won an overtime game on Oct. 3, 2015 at VMI, a 28-22 victory.

• DE Trevor Fennimore’s first-quartersack,whichwasforalossof13yards,wasthefirstofhis collegiate career.

Jonov’s 95-Yard Pick Six Lifts Bucknell Football to 13-7 Overtime Victory 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 totaloffenseand22firstdowns.Withitsvictory,its600thinprogramhistory,Bucknellimprovedto4-3 (1-1 Patriot League) on the season.

TheBisonjumpedouttoa7-0leadatthe12:56markofthefirstquarter.WithLafayette(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.

TheBisondefensewasthestoryofthefirstquarter.WhiletheLeopardsheldan11:07to3:53advantage 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.

Onitsfirstdriveof thesecondhalf,Lafayettecovered60yards ineightplaystoscoretheequalizing 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 drivewithatwo-yardtouchdownrush,thefirstofhiscareer.

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 MarquisCarterwhileunderpressureona3rdand8.ThatplaybroughtBucknell intofield-goalrange,attheLafayette25,butJohnBurdickultimatelymissedhis42-yardfieldgoalattemptwith1:19 left to play.

After the teams traded three and outs, they went into bonus time. The Bison won the toss and electedtostartondefense.OnthefirstplayoftheLeopards’possession,JonovleapedtopickoffO’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).
