After trailing 14-0 to open their game against Bucknell, the Quakers overcame two missed field goals and a missed PAT as quarterback Pat McDermott hit wideout Gabe Marabella for a 12-yard touchdown to pull Penn even at 22 and force overtime...
...McDermott capped the Quakers’ side of the second overtime period with a one-yard run, and the defense held on the subsequent Bison possession as Penn snapped Bucknell’s 17-game home non-conference winning streak...
Even if the Lions can slow down Penn wide receiver Dan Castles, who had 12 receptions for 132 yards last weekend, the Quaker air attack shouldn’t miss a beat as McDermott connected with eight different receivers at least twice last weekend. Running back Sam Mathews has been a disappointment for Penn so far this season, but don’t be surprised if he has a breakout 100-yard, two-touchdown performance in this...
Quaker quarterback Pat McDermott seemed to get on track last weekend against Dartmouth, but the scenario is analogous to that of Bucknell’s offense. McDermott doesn’t need to light up the Bison defense, but he will need to engineer three or four scoring drives. Those drives better end in touchdowns, because the Quakers just benched starting kicker Evan Nolan, who missed four straight field goals including one against Dartmouth, in favor of defensive back/kicker Bryan Arguello, who also missed a field goal against the Big Green...
