Week 2 Stats: 14 points, 4-for-4 FG, 2-for-2 PAT
Bruzdewicz did not miss a kick, putting six balls through the uprights during Duquesne’s 28-26 road win over Mid-American Conference member Ohio. The second-year Duke made all four field goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in the program’s first-ever win over a FBS member. After the Dukes’ 62-yard opening drive stalled at the Ohio 6-yard line, Bruzdewicz took the zero off the scoreboard by nailing a 23-yard field goal. His second make came from 38 yards out, capping a 15-play drive and cutting the Dukes’ deficit to 13-6 with 11:51 gone by in the first quarter. The Keystone State product booted his third field goal of the first half 00:49 before the break, ending a 93-yard drive with points. Bruzdewicz provided Duquesne with an eight-point bulge by connecting on a 27-yard three-pointer with 2:46 left in the game. He is the first Duquesne kicker to make four field goals in a game since Austin Crimmins did against Monmouth on Nov. 23, 2013.
