History
During its fourth year under head coach Bob Curtis, the Bison compiled a 5–5 record.[1] John Cieslewicz, Mike Cosimano and Brian Shaffer were the team captains.[2]
This was the first year of competition for Division I-AA, later to be renamed the Football Championship Subdivision. Bucknell, along with its in-state rivals Lafayette and Lehigh, moved up to I-AA after having previously competed as independents in NCAA Division II.
The Bison's 1978 schedule included opponents from Division I-A, Division I-AA, Division II and Division III.
