Bucknell was trounced by Pittsburgh last week on the road, falling to the Panthers' 59-0. But the Bison had a week to regroup and put that lopsided game in the rearview mirror.
After an off week, the Bison are back at it and hit the road today with a game against Georgetown for its second straight road game.
Christopher Dietrich has 685 passing yards this year for the Bison and has thrown five touchdowns and no interceptions. On the ground, Michael Cadden and Ty Stauffer have been bright spots for Bucknell. Cadden has a team-high 159 rushing yards in five games with a touchdown while Stauffer has rushed for 104. However no other Bucknell runner has gone for more than 35 yards this season.
Bucknell's offense has sputtered overall. The Bison scored 14 against Richmond, 16 against ranked Villanova, 14 against VMI in a win and seven against Penn before a shutout loss to Pittsburgh.
The loss to Pittsburgh aside, the Bison defense hasn't played bad against its other four opponents. Richmond scored 35 on Bucknell in the season-opener, but Bucknell held ranked Villanova to just 17 points, VMI to a field goal and Penn to 20 points.
The Bison know they need to get the offense more in sync to score points, however, if they want to add more wins to the board this season.
Georgetown is still searching for its first win this year. After its season-opener against Lafayette was declared a no contest, Georgetown lost to Lehigh (45-14), Richmond (24-21) and an overtime narrow loss on the road to Columbia (20-17).
Last week, the Hoyas fell to Cornell, 35-14.
Jack Johnson leads Georgetown's passing game as hes 44 for 78 for 510 yards with six touchdowns and just one interception. On the ground, Clay Ash has 187 rushing yards and Jayden Sumpter has 183, giving the Hoyas two options in the back field to pick up yards and first downs when called upon.
The Bison have lost three straight contests to Georgetown, falling to the Hoyas in 2025 (31-24), 2024 (21-20) and 2023 (50-47, overtime). Bucknell beat Georgetown in 2021 in overtime, 24-21.
