Yellowjackets Sting the Bullets
From the University of Rochester Website:
GETTYSBURG, Pa – Aaron Molisani (Canandaigua, NY/Canandaigua Academy) ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more to lead visiting Rochester (1-2) to a 41-20 victory over Gettysburg College at Shirk Field.
Molisani scored on a pair of one-yard runs. He finished with a game-high 110 yards on 18 carries. Rochester rushed for 310 yards, its highest one-game total since November 15, 2003 when the Yellowjackets had 326 yards versus Carnegie Mellon.
He completed two scoring passes to David Ferris (Hamburg, NY/St. Francis) in the second quarter. With UR nursing a 7-6 lead, he found Ferris for a 26-yard TD 4:38 into the second quarter. They connected again, this time on a four-yard scoring pass, with 5:38 left in the period. That increased the lead to 20-6. Molisani completed 9 of 22 passes for 149 yards and one interception.
The Yellowjackets set a single-game record with 100 offensive plays – 78 rushing and 22 passing. The mark was 98 plays, set in 1982 versus Allegheny.
Gettysburg, which scored 74 points in its first two games (a 34-27 win over Lebanon Valley and a 56-40 loss at Hampden Sydney) was held to 161 yards in offense. The Bullets (1-2) rushed 20 times for a net of 40 yards. Quarterbacks Hunter McMillan and Mark Campo combined to hit 15 of 24 passes for 121 yards. McMillan threw for 404 yards and four TDs last week. UR intercepted him three times and sacked him four times.
Molisani plunged one yard for a TD just four seconds into the second period to put UR ahead to stay. Rob Corey (Pittston, PA/Pittston Area) added the PAT. Gettysburg’s Nathan Smith returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown. The PAT snap was poor and a two-point pass fell incomplete. Two TD passes to Ferris increased the lead to 21-6 by halftime.
In the third quarter, Molisani, Galen Williams (Irondequoit, NY/Irondequoit) and Mike Sondericker (Spencerport, NY/Spencerport) all ran for touchdowns, increasing the lead to 41-6 with 5:42 left in the game.
Gettysburg tacked on two late touchdowns – a 14-yard pass from Campo to Jerry Jones, and a 53-yard return with a blocked punt by Justin Gayles.
