Duquesne survived a scare by beating Bryant 35-31 on the Bluff today. Once down 24-7 late in the 2nd quarter, the Dukes outgained the Bulldogs 324-79 in the second half.

SFU isn't going to lose to CCSU. That game was essentially the title game last week.

Big 2nd half comeback to beat Bryant
Buechel's line: 15-23-1-298-4 (plus a fumble lost), with all 4 TDs going to graduate transfer Blair Roberts, who smashed his career high in yards with 153.
AJ Hines went 30-147-1, saving his best for last (again) with 66 4th quarter yards.
Aside from the bad turnovers, the Dukes were annoyingly consistent on offense, going 10/17 on 3rd downs, and had over 36 minutes of possession, which have both been strongsuits this season.

Re: Big 2nd half comeback to beat Bryant
St. Francis's remaining schedule:
11/12 vs. Central Connecticut St. (1-7, 0-3)
11/19 @ Wagner (4-4, 2-1)
Duquesne's remaining schedule:
11/5 @ Wagner (4-4, 2-1)
11/12 vs Sacred Heart (6-2, 1-2)
11/19 @ Central Connecticut St. (1-7, 0-3)
The only way in for Duquesne is for St. Francis to lose both of their games and for Duquesne to win out
