Week 8 Stats: 19-25 completions, 351 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 0 INT, 1 sack
Robert Morris is off to a 2-0 start in NEC play for the second consecutive time in 2024 thanks to the arm of Chiccitt. The redshirt senior had an efficient outing against LIU on Saturday, completing 19-of-25 passes for a career-high 351 yards, three touchdown throws and zero interceptions. Chiccitt became the second NEC signal caller to eclipse 300-plus passing yards in a game, and the first to do so against a Division I opponent, while his 351 yards in the air were the most by a conference quarterback since Saint Francis U’s Cole Doyle threw for 412 yards against Merrimack on Nov. 19, 2022. In addition, Chiccitt racked up the most passing yards by a Robert Morris player against a Division I opponent since 2003, when Rich Demaio had 444 at Duquesne. His first touchdown throw — a 75-yarder to redshirt junior Noah Robinson — gave the Colonials their first lead of the game at 10-7 in the opening quarter. Chiccitt then topped that then season-best toss and fueled a game-ending 15-0 run with a late 86-yard bomb to grad student Shawn Charles. The 86-yard completion is tied for the 10th-longest in the FCS this season. Chiccitt leads the NEC in passing efficiency (152.0) and completion percentage (.691), while his 12 touchdowns and 219.7 passing yards per contest are good for second.
