WEEK 1 STATS: 154 yds from scrimmage, 3 rush TD
His candidacy for STATS National FCS Offensive Player of the Year award is off to a rousing start. The senior tailback totaled 154 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns in Saint Francis’ runaway victory over Patriot League member Georgetown. Dickson wasted little time in finding the end zone, scoring his first six of the season on a 20-yard jaunt only 1:54 into the contest. The Preseason All-American found pay dirt again fewer than 9:00 later, plunging in from one yard out to give the Red Flash a 14-0 lead with 5:32 left in the first quarter. Dickson opened the second-half scoring summary by registering his third touchdown of the game, extending SFU’s advantage to 34-6 with a 3-yard run 9:09 into the third period. The native Clevelander rushed 22 times for 129 yards and caught a pair of passes for 25 yards.
