The win moved the Bulls to 2-1 on the season and snapped a six-game road losing streak. Keller kicked a career-high three field goals (from 23, 34 and 29 yards), helping the Bulls overcome a 14-7 deficit.

The Bulls did not allow a point in the second half to the host Leopards (0-2), the first time they have shut a team out in the second half since a 14-10 win at Hofstra on Nov. 2, 1996.

The game-winning drive was set up when senior defensive end Dan Poulsen forced an incompletion on third-and-three from the Lafayette 10-yard line. The Leopards were pinned deep after a 34-yard punt by Mike Masucci was downed at the three.

Drew Haddad returned the Lafayette punt 20 yards to the Leopards' 29-yard line. Six plays later, Keller made the 29-yard gamewinner. Keller has made all four of his field-goal attempts this season and 14 straights points after touchdown.

The Bulls defense was led by senior linebacker Antonio Perry with 13 tackles and a sack. Strong safety Eric Pipkins added 12 tackles, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery, while junior linebacker Dan Curcione had 10 tackles. The Bulls recovered three fumbles in the game and only gave the ball up once. Senior running back David Hinson had a game-high 52 yards on 11 carries and the game's first touchdown from five yards out. Fullback Josh Roth added 46 yards on 11 carries.
