Joe Rollins led McDaniel (1-4, 1-3 CC), rushing for 269 yards and three touchdowns on 32 carries.

The Bullets turned it over inside the McDaniel-10 on each of their first two possessions but finally broke through on the third try, as Hutchins scored on a 3-yard run. Rollins tied it for the Green Terror with a 20-yard touchdown run on the final play of the opening quarter.

Gettysburg broke out with a 23-point second quarter, scoring a touchdown on three of its four possessions. Senior wing Peter Fessenden (New York, N.Y./Proctor Academy [N.H.]) opened the scoring with his first career touchdown, running it in from 6 yards out. McDaniel quarterback Ryan Yamada was then whistled for intentional grounding in the end zone, resulting in a safety that made it 16-7 with 7:21 on the clock.

The Orange and Blue extended its lead to 23-7 following an 8-yard touchdown run from sophomore wing Chris Amicone (West Chester, Pa./Rustin) with 6:29 on the clock. After a 1-yard touchdown run from Rollins, the Bullets assembled a nine-play, 65-yard touchdown drive, capped by a 25-yard TD strike from Miller to junior receiver and former high school teammate Alec Pacelli (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) with just three ticks showing, making it a 30-14 game at the break.

The Bullets continued to pull away in the second half, and a Miller 5-yard touchdown run pushed the visitors' lead to 23. Rollins scored again from a yard out to make it 37-21 with 10:59 on the third-quarter clock before Miller connected with Twer for a 61-yard touchdown pass with 4:34 to go in the period that made it 43-21. It was the fourth touchdown reception of 40 yards or longer for Twer this season and his third of 60 yards or more.

Yamada threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Sean Montgomery with 11:04 left before Hutchins set the final score with a 26-yard touchdown run with 9:35 remaining.
