Hines tallied all three of Duquesne’s touchdowns in a 30-19 triumph over Bucknell. Leading the Dukes’ ground game, the 5-foot-11 freshman averaged 7.4 yards per carry and became the first DU running back since Larry McCoy (2012) to tally three rushing touchdowns in a game. Hines carried 10 times for 74 yards, including 27 yards on the team’s first touchdown drive. With the Dukes holding a 3-0 advantage early in the second quarter, the rookie running back ripped off a 16-yard scoring scamper on a 2nd-and-10 play.

He dealt a dagger to Bucknell on a two-yard touchdown plunge that extended the advantage to 30-13 with 6:17 remaining.
