ALL-TIME SERIES
Gettysburg and Moravian have met just seven times, but the Bullets hold a 6-1 advantage in the all-time series that dates back to 1978. The Greyhounds won the inaugural meeting between the two teams, but Gettysburg has captured the last six. Prior to 2007, when Moravian joined the Centennial Conference in football, the two teams had not met since 1982.

LAST MEETING
Matt Flynn threw for 275 yards and one touchdown, rushed for another, and set or tied two school records to lead Gettysburg to a 48-41 victory over Moravian at Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium last year. The two teams combined for nearly 1,000 total yards, with the Bullets out-gaining Moravian, which entered the game leading the Centennial Conference in scoring defense (11.8 ppg), 527-451. Flynn tied the school's career touchdown pass record (33) and broke the career school record for total offense. The game featured six lead changes, and neither team led by more than 13 points. Running back Tyler McCambridge rushed for 152 yards and one touchdown to lead the Greyhounds while wing/return specialist Charles Curcio racked up a career-high 295 all-purpose yards, including a 92-yard kick return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff, for Gettysburg.

LAST TIME OUT
Senior quarterback Matt Flynn set school and Centennial Conference records with 519 passing yards, seven touchdowns passes, and 522 yards of total offense, but Ursinus held off a furious Gettysburg rally to hand the Bullets a 55-50 loss in Collegeville last Saturday. Trailing 55-23 late in the third quarter, Flynn led the Bullets on a 27-0 run that made it a five-point game with 6:36 left. However, Ursinus was able to run out the remainder of the clock to come away with the win, with a three-yard run with just over two minutes left by quarterback Justin Dicristofaro icing the game. Senior tight end #A.J. Perrotti# enjoyed a career-day for the Bullets, hauling in six passes for 150 yards and a touchdown while junior receiver Brian Betley and junior wing Charles Curcio grabbed a pair of additional touchdown passes. The two teams combined for a Centennial Conference record 1,317 total yards, with the Bullets out-gaining the Bears 694-623. Gettysburg produced its most yards of total offense since its school-record 733-yard performance against St. Lawrence in 1999.

Moravian was held to 179 yards, including just 24 through the air, as the Greyhounds dropped a 21-3 decision to Dickinson College in Bethlehem on Saturday. Moravian received a 26-yard field goal by Ian Heck eight seconds before halftime to make it a 14-3 game, but the 'Hounds were shut out in the second half. Senior tailback Ryan Rempe led Moravian with 169 yards on 37 carries while quarterbacks Patrick Weiss and Steve Panasuk each managed to go just 1-for-5 passing, with Weiss throwing three interceptions. Sophomore safety David Wacker led Moravian with 12 tackles while junior cornerback Daniel Burley came up with 10 stops.
