Buechel directed the Dukes’ potent aerial attack in a convincing victory over two-time defending NEC champion Sacred Heart. The third-year starting signal caller produced his second 300-yard passing performance during league play this season, finishing 22-of-37 passing for 320 yards and two touchdowns. He played his seventh interception-free game of the year and was not sacked by a SHU defense that leads the NEC in quarterback takedowns. Buechel tossed a pair of touchdown passes during the game’s first 7:44, staking Duquesne to an early 14-0 advantage. He found Reginald McKnight on a 35-yard scoring strike 1:34 into the contest. A little more than 6:00 later, Buechel capped a 9-play, 90-yard drive by connecting with Chris King on an 18-yard touchdown. The 6-foot-4 signal caller logged one 15-yard rush to push his total offense to 335 yards, his highest single-game output in 2015.
