Rucker throws and rushes for touchdown, leads Bucknell to 30-23 win over Saint Francis
LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) Ralph Rucker IV threw for a touchdown and rushed for another score, Brad Gerken sealed the game with an interception and Bucknell Bison defeated Saint Francis 30-23 on Saturday night.
Rucker had a 17-yard touchdown connection with TJ Cadden on the opening drive. He led a fourth-quarter drive to reclaim the lead from Saint Francis, finding Josh Gary for a two-point conversion after Tariq Thomas' 7-yard touchdown run.
Thomas led Bucknell with 98 yards on 10 carries. Rucker had 168 yards through the air and 69 on the ground.
Rucker's two-point conversion came into play after kicker Matt Schearer missed the extra point following Rucker's third-quarter rushing score.
Saint Francis moved the ball almost exclusively through the air and nearly mounted a comeback with the aerial assault.
Nick Whitfield Jr. was 31 for 44 for 377 yards and a touchdown. He threw a game-sealing interception to Gerken on a second-and-goal that was snapped with seven seconds remaining.
DJ Maultsby had 141 receiving yards and a touchdown on nine catches. Peyton Nelson had 131 yards on 11 catches.
Saint Francis (0-5) remains winless, while Bucknell improved to 3-2.
