WEEK 9 Stats: 18 total tackles (7 solo), QB hurry
Buzzacco recorded a NEC single-game season-high 18 tackles during Robert Morris’ third consecutive conference victory. The sophomore linebacker, who was credited with seven solo stops, spearheaded a defensive effort that limited Bryant to 3.4 yards per play in a 24-20 victory. He made eight tackles during the fourth quarter, including two important hits on back-to-back plays in RMU territory. With the Colonials protecting a 24-20 fourth-quarter lead, Buzzacco made a third-down tackle that stopped the ball carrier two yards short of the sticks at the RMU 37. On the next snap, the linebacker snuffed out the quarterback keeper to force a turnover on downs.
