BOX SCORE  / UPDATED CAREER STATS

* Saturday's victory was Bryant's third this season over a Division I opponent as the Bulldogs improve to 5-4 overall on the season. 

* The game was the 99th in the history of Bryant football.  Bryant is now 53-46 all time.  The Iona game on Nov. 15 will be the 100th in school history.

* Mike Canfora's 15-yard touchdown in the second quarter was ruled a rush.  The play came on a swing pass from quarterback Jay Graber, but after video review in the press box by the coaching staff, the play was ruled a backwards pass.  Graber had another strong game running the offense against the Dukes Saturday. Returning from an injury a week ago against UMass, Graber played the entire game, completing 18 of 26 passes for 213 yards. 

* For the season, Graber has completed 125 of 220 passes for 1,385 yards and 10 touchdowns.   

* Lindsey Gamble's touchdown run was the 20th of his career, tying him for second all-time in school history.  Lorenzo Perry rushed for 36 during his career from 2005-06.

* Jerell Smith's 129 yards moves him into third all-time in school history with 1,618 career rushing yards.  Smith now has 999 yards rushing this season, needing just one more to reach 1,000 for the season.

* Quarterback Jay Graber has the school's top pass completion percentage at 57.6 percent (129-224-8).  Charlie Granatell, who was at Saturday's game, is close behind with 56.8 percent.  Granatell is the all-time pass efficiency leader at 129.2. 

* Jarett Solimando needs just 4 yards to move into sixth all-time in receiving yards.  The senior has 463. 

* Paul Polomski's interception in the fourth quarter was the 8th in his career, tying him with teammate Bryce Martins for third all-time.  Jesse Lewis holds the career record with 11 from 2001-04.  Chris Wohlheter (2004-07) is second with 9.

* Polomski needs three tackles to move into 6th all-time in total tackles.  The junior has 182 tackles, trailing Scott Murphy (1999-02) by two (184).

* Don Smith's fourth quarter sack gives him 8 1/2 for his career.

* Congratulations to senior Jordan Levesque who earned his first career start at fullback Saturday.  Levesque helped pave the way for the running game of Jerell Smith and Lindsey Gamble.
