Football Opens Home Season vs. Lafayette Today

In an impressive 30-19 homecoming win over Cornell, Moore rushed for a career-high 187 yards on 23 carries, including a run of 50 yards that set up the game-winning touchdown. For his efforts, he was named Offensive Player of the Week.

Senior co-captain Quincy Miller also had a strong game against the Big Red, hauling in five passes for 103 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-10 play. Miller leads the team with 217 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

Defensively, the Leopards are led by senior strong safety B.J. Gallis, also a co-captain, who recorded 13 tackles, a fumble recovery and an interception in helping to limit Cornell All-American Chad Levitt to 76 yards on 27 carries.

Through its first three games, Lafayette has not allowed an opposing back to surpass 100 rushing yards, and has also recorded seven sacks.

"They're a really physical team and very big up front," said Kacyvenski. "We just have to be physical right back. This game is going to be won at the line."
