Football – 4-2 (Centennial Conference 2-2)

Last Week – Lost to Gettysburg College, 48-41.

This Week – Sat., Oct. 18th vs. Franklin & Marshall College*(Homecoming & Hall of Fame Game), 1:00 p.m. *Centennial Conference Game.

 

                Junior quarterback Matt Flynn threw for a touchdown and ran for another while the Gettysburg College defense turned three turnovers into touchdowns in a 48-41 Centennial Conference game over Moravian College at Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium.

The Bullets won their second straight game to improve to 2-4 overall and 2-2 in Centennial Conference action while Moravian dropped its second consecutive game after a 4-0 start to fall to 4-2 overall and 2-2 in the Centennial Conference as well.

The Greyhounds won the toss for the sixth straight game, deferring for the fifth consecutive contest.  Freshman Ian Heck kicked off to the Gettysburg eight-yard line where Gettysburg sophomore wide receiver Charles Curcio received the ball and returned it 92 yards up the right side of the field for a touchdown.  However, senior Josh Huson’s extra-point hit the left upright and was no good to give Gettysburg a 6-0 lead.  The kickoff return for the score was the Bullets first in three seasons.

Moravian would pick up a first down on its first drive on a 21-yard pass from senior quarterback Marc Braxmeier (Center Valley, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS) to senior tailback Tyler McCambridge (Northampton, PA/Allentown Central Catholic HS).  However, the Greyhounds would turn the ball over on downs at the Gettysburg 35-yard line. The Bullets needed just six plays to extend its lead on a five-yard touchdown run by Flynn.  Husson made this extra-point attempt, the 100th of his career, for a 13-0 Gettysburg lead with 10:47 to go in the first quarter.

Moravian needed just four plays to answer with the Greyhounds’ first score of the game.  Senior tailback Tyler deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS) ran in from one-yard out on a sweep to the right.  Senior kicker Brian Reckenbeil (Branchburg, NJ/Somerville HS) connected on the extra-point to pull Moravian within 13-7 with 8:47 remaining in the first quarter.  Two plays before the touchdown, Braxmeier hit senior wide receiver Tyler Williams with a 59-yard pass to the Gettysburg one-yard line.

The Bullets picked up one first down before a quick kick by Flynn on fourth-and-four from the Moravian 49-yard line that was downed at the Greyhound 21-yard line. The Greyhounds needed just one play to take the lead with McCambridge running for a 79-yard touchdown off the left side, the longest rush of his career and the fifth longest touchdown run in Moravian history.  Reckenbeil added the extra-point to give the Greyhounds a 14-13 lead with 6:42 to go in the first quarter.  McCambridge also moved over 1,800 career yards on the run and into ninth in school history. McCambridge had 152 yards on 20 carries in the game and now has 1,926 yards in his career on 405 carries.

Gettysburg picked up two first downs with Flynn hitting sophomore Brian Betley with a 42-yard pass and Flynn rushing on a fourth-and-one.  The Bullets would get into the red zone at the Moravian 18-yard line but were forced into a field goal attempt.  Huson’s 35-yard field goal attempt was wide left to give the Greyhounds the ball at their own 20-yard line.

Moravian moved down into the red zone on the following possession but back-to-back losses forced a fourth down from the Gettysburg 21-yard line.  Reckenbeil came on a drilled the 38-yard field goal, his seventh field goal of the season, to give Moravian a 17-13 lead with 13:58 to go in the second quarter.  On the second play of the drive, McCambridge broke through the left side for a 60-yard touchdown run that was called back by a holding penalty at the line of scrimmage.

The Bullets would retake the lead on their next drive.  Flynn would cap the six-play drive with a one-yard touchdown pass to junior tight end A.J. PerrottiHuson’s extra-point would give Gettysburg a 20-17 lead with 10:54 remaining in the first half.  Flynn was 21 of 34 in the game for 275 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

The Greyhounds needed just 13 seconds to retake the lead with junior tailback Ryan Rempe returning the ensuing kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown, Moravian’s first kickoff return for a score this season and first since the 2006 season.  Reckenbeil made his third extra-point of the game.  The PAT was Reckenbeil’s 55th straight and his 46th straight in the Centennial Conference, setting a new conference record.  The kick also gave Moravian a 24-20 lead with 10:41 to go in the second quarter.

Gettysburg put together a 12-play drive to move into the red zone that included a fake field goal; however, Huson’s 29-yard field goal was wide left to leave the score at 24-20. Moravian took over at its own 20-yard line and would have the first turnover in the game when senior fullback Morgan deRouen (West Milford, NJ/West Milford HS) was unable to control a handoff.  Gettysburg sophomore defensive lineman Connor Quinn covered the ball at the Moravian 18-yard line. 

The Bullets needed just three plays to capitalize on the turnover and retake the lead.  Sophomore running back Jamel Mutunga would run in from nine-yards out and Huson added the extra-point after a false start penalty to give Gettysburg a 27-24 lead with 3:25 to play in the first half.

The Greyhounds turned the ball over again, this time with McCambridge fumbling on the second play of the drive.  Quinn forced the fumble while sophomore defensive lineman Sebastian Sullivan recovered the loose ball again at the Moravian 40-yard line.

Curcio, who had 42 yards on seven carries, would cap of a five-play drive with a six-yard touchdown run.  Huson added the extra-point to extend the Gettysburg lead to 34-24 with 1:01 to play before the intermission.

The Greyhounds would commit a miscue for the third straight drive with a Braxmeier pass being tipped by senior wide receiver Tyler Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus HS) before being intercepted at midfield by senior linebacker Dean Staley.

Gettysburg appeared to score on the final play of the first half with Betley catching a tipped ball in the back of the end zone.  However, a holding penalty called the play back.  Flynn’s final pass of the half was intercepted by Moravian sophomore defensive back Daniel Burley (Easton, PA/Easton HS) at the Greyhound one-yard line to keep the score at 34-24 Gettysburg at halftime.

Both teams would start the second half with a drive that included a first down before each squad punted for the first time in the game. Moravian began its second drive of the second half at its own 21-yard line with Braxmeier hitting sophomore wide Alex Hersch (Macungie, PA/Emmaus
HS) for a 48-yard gain to the Gettysburg 31-yard line.  Five rushes later, Rempe dove in from a yard out for his first rushing touchdown of the season.  Reckenbeil added his fourth extra-point of the game to pull the Greyhounds within 34-31 with 8:16 to go in the third quarter.  The point was the 193rd of Reckenbeil’s career, moving him into second all-time in school history.  Reckenbeil is the school’s all-time leading scorer for kickers. Gettysburg would begin driving again before Greyhound senior defensive back Carl Robinson (Boothwyn, PA/Garnet Valley HS) intercepted a Flynn pass and returned it to the Gettysburg 47-yard line.

McCambridge would carry the ball on the first three plays of the of Moravian drive before Braxmeier found junior tight end Brian Dencker (Boonton, NJ/Boonton HS) with a 35-yard touchdown pass to give the Greyhounds the lead again.  Reckenbeil was true on his fifth point-after attempt of the game set the Moravian lead at 38-34 with 4:12 to play in the third quarter.  Braxmeier completed 12 of 21 passes for 285 yards with a touchdown and an interception while Dencker caught three passes for 69 yards.

The Bullets would pick up a pair of first downs on their next drive before the Greyhound defense stiffened to force a punt from near midfield.  Moravian would only run three plays on the next drive before punting on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Gettysburg started its first drive of the final quarter on its own 39-yard line.  The Bullets put together an 11-play drive capped off by a five-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Nick McConnell to give Gettysburg the lead again.  Huson’s extra-point set the score at 41-38 Gettysburg with 10:38 to go in the fourth quarter.

Moravian’s drive started at its own 40-yard line after the kickoff went out of bounds.  The Greyhounds moved down to the Gettysburg 32-yard line where Braxmeier was hit on a third-and-four play by Gettysburg senior defensive lineman Anthony Pastore forcing a fumble.  Bullet senior defensive lineman Matt Lessler picked up the ball at the Moravian 49-yard line and returned it for a touchdown.  Huson made the extra-point to push the Gettysburg lead to 48-38 with 6:30 to play in the game.

The Greyhounds would start again at the 40-yard line after another kickoff out of bounds.  Braxmeier would lead the offense into the red zone at the Gettysburg seven-yard line before Moravian settled for a 24-yard field goal by Reckenbeil to cut the lead to 48-41 with 3:52 to go. Reckenbeil finished the game with 11 points, the sixth time in his career he has had 11 or more points in a game. Moravian attempted an onside kick but the Bullets recovered the kick and would pick up two first downs to run out the clock.

Moravian had 451 yards on 58 plays in the game.  Tyler deRouen had 22 and a touchdown on six carries before leaving the game with an injury while Morgan deRouen had four yards on four carries.  Williams caught five passes for 129 yards while McCambridge had two receptions for 28 yards.
