On 1st and ten from the 43, QB Erik Cwalinski flipped the ball to RB Myles Russ in traffic. Russ stopped, threw back across the field to Cwalinski, who caught it around his ankles.

He dropped one step, and with pressure in his face and throwing off his back foot, let fly for Sherrod Evers down field.

Evers beat his man and hauled in the pass for a touchdown.

[bison137]

How many yards were the Bison penalized? From the bits and pieces I heard on the radio, it sounds like it was about a gazillion. This from a team that was rarely penalized all of last year.

[Go...gate]

Only PL OOC win today. Congrats to Bucknell! xthumbsupx

How many yards were the Bison penalized? From the bits and pieces I heard on the radio, it sounds like it was about a gazillion. This from a team that was rarely penalized all of last year.

Bucknell was penalized 9 times for 92 yards, RMU 8 times for 80 yards.

Robert Morris actually scored the game winning touchdown with 15 seconds left when Myles Russ went over the top of the line. But RMU receivers Sherrod Evers and James O'Quinn were lined up wrong, and as Evers tried to get O'Quinn in line, RMU snapped the ball and they were called for an illegal shift.

Then the kick was blocked two plays later and Bucknell won. Hard one for RMU to lose.
