Saint Francis (PA) was missing veteran running back Kyle Harbridge, but still managed to compile over 300 yards of rushing offense in its NEC victory over Bryant thanks to Dickson. The freshman ran for 148 yards and one touchdown on 21 carries in the Red Flash’s triumphant home opener. Dickson, who also made two receptions for 22 yards, totaled 170 yards from scrimmage in the 39-28 win over a Bryant team that was 4-0 all-time against the Flash. Dickson gave Saint Francis the lead for good late in the third quarter when he plunged into the end zone from two yards out. The TD run came three plays after Dickson carried the Flash into the red zone with a 29-yard jaunt.
