FOR THE FOES
• Brendan McCullough led the Tartans with 12 catches for 112 yards, including 77 after the catch, with a touchdown.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• Behind four short pass completions, Carnegie Mellon moved the ball quickly into the red zone but the Gettysburg defense then forced a 24-yard field goal from Lucas Bisazza for a 3-0 lead with 11:15 on the clock. After an interception in the end zone on the ensuing possession, the Tartans moved the ball 80 yards in 11 plays and Jackson Salters found Nick McCullough for a 19-yard touchdown and 10-0 lead with 1:11 to play in the opening quarter.
• A bobbled snap on the next Bullets punt led to Carnegie Mellon taking over at the Gettysburg 23. Three plays later, Brendan McCullough scored on 9-yard wide receiver screen for a 17-0 lead nearly two minutes into the second quarter. An 11-yard pass play to
Shane Donoghue and roughing the passer penalty moved the ball to the CMU 34 for Gettysburg on the ensuing possession.

Gabriel Diaz (Orlando, Fla./Winter Park) for a touchdown on the next play to make it 24-6.
