WEEK 8 STATS:  10 points, 3 FGM (29, 45, 44), 5 kickoffs, 4 Touchbacks
Crimmins accounted for 10 of Duquesne’s 16 points in a conference road win over Steel City rival Robert Morris. Connecting on each of his first three field goal attempts, the Keystone State product kicked Duquesne to a 9-7 lead that it would not relinquish. He opened the game’s scoring 5:38 into the second quarter when he booted a 29-yard field goal. Crimmins’ second three-pointer came in the final minute of the first half. The 45-yarder, which brought the Dukes within 7-6 at the break, was a season long for the Duquesne veteran and stands as the third-longest in the NEC this fall. Crimmins accounted for the first points of the third quarter when he hit from 44 yards out to give the Dukes a 9-7 advantage 5:22 after halftime. Crimmins, who made his lone PAT attempt of the game, neutralized Robert Morris’ kick return game by booting four of his five kickoffs for touchbacks.
