Their narrow lead was soon eclipsed, as Buffalo State's Brandon Janesz found the end zone on a 1-yard rush, and a PAT from Ryan Cox put the Bengals in front by one. The teams traded touchdowns in the second quarter, as RMU quarterback Tim Levcik found Sam Dorsett for an 8-yard touchdown before Buffalo State's Chris Henry capped a 99-yard touchdown drive by converting an 8-yard rush to put the Bengals back up top. The Bengals' lead would not stand for long; Jeff Carlo's 55-yard field goal, a kick that broke the school record (held by Carlo himself) by five yards, gave the halftime advantage to the Colonials, 16–14.Robert Morris 30, Buffalo State 20 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/56291921/pittsburgh-post-gazette/ 29 July 2020 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 3 September 2000 51 Newspapers.com The third quarter's only score came in the form of a Robert Morris touchdown, as Tim Levcik tossed his second touchdown pass of the game, this time to Opio Gary for fifteen yards. Robert Morris led 23–14 going into the game's final quarter, and the lead was extended by RMU running back Dante Settles, as he netted 30 of his 46 rushing yards on a touchdown dash that all but sealed the game. Buffalo State was able to find the end zone one final time, as Chris Henry found Lamar Wilson for a 15-yard touchdown pass, but the two-point conversion was not successful. There was no further scoring, and the Colonials won by a score of 30–20. This win improved the Colonials to 8–0 all-time in home openers, and to 2–2 against Buffalo State.Robert Morris 30, Buffalo State 20 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/56292228/indiana-gazette/ 29 July 2020 Indiana Gazette 3 September 2000 20 Newspapers.com References Robert Morris Category:Robert Morris Colonials football seasons Category:Northeast Conference football champion seasons Category:College football undefeated seasons Robert Morris Colonials football
