The 2001 Bucknell Bison football team was an American football team that represented Bucknell University during the 2001 NCAA Division I-AA football season.
Bucknell finished fourth in the Patriot League.
Background
During its seventh and final year under head coach Tom Gadd, the Bison compiled a 6–4 record.[1] Carson Book, Jabu Powell, Mark Tallman and Reed Tunison were the team captains.[2]
The Bison outscored opponents 240 to 157. Bucknell's 4–3 conference record placed the team fourth out of eight in the Patriot League standings.[3]
