THE REST OF THE STORY

Gabriel Diaz (Orlando, Fla./Winter Park) set the Gettysburg offense up at its own 41 with a 26-yard return on the kickoff return. The Bullets drove inside the F&M 30 before being stopped on downs.

Louis Paris capped the march with a one-yard dive on a direct snap before a missed PAT kept it 6-0 with 4:39 to play in the opening quarter.
• Franklin & Marshall went on another 11-play march in the second quarter. Another two-yard Paris rush capped the 52-yard, 6-minute, 36-second drive to make it 13-0 with 3:48 showing. The Diplomats added a 27-yard Michael Fleming field with five seconds left to extend the advantage to 16-0.
• A fumble gave the Diplomats the ball in plus-territory with 9:10 to play in the third quarter. The offense once again drove inside the 10 but the Gettysburg got a stop and forced another Fleming field goal from 24 yards.
• A 17-yard Jadon Prinzivalli-to-Michael Poruban touchdown and a 32-yard Fleming field goal set the final margin in the fourth quarter.
