Game Box Score
GETTYSBURG, PA—Gettysburg College snapped an eight game series losing streak en route to defeating the Tigers of Hampden-Sydney, 28-20, as the Bullets picked up their first victory of the 2006 season. The loss drops Hampden-Sydney to 0-2 for the first time since 1997, which is also the last time the Tigers fell to Gettysburg.
Gettysburg tallied 318 yards on the ground and scored four rushing touchdowns as tailback Tom Sturges racked up 174 rushing yards while running mate Dusty Green tacked on 126. Hampden-Sydney was bolstered by the strong play of running back Josh Simpson (Richmond, VA/Mills Godwin) who led the team with 75 yards rushing and one rushing touchdown, while he and junior receiver Drew Smith (Richmond, VA/Mills Godwin) each caught eight passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.
In the first quarter, Simpson put the Tigers on the scoreboard as he punched in his first TD of the year from two yards out to cap off Hampden-Sydney’s first drive of the game at the 12:58 mark. Gettysburg quarterback Matt Flynn then tied the game on a two-yard scramble of his own as the Bullets capitalized on an 18-yard interception return by Harold Barton deep in Tiger territory.
Hampden-Sydney was unable to convert on offense throughout the second quarter, failing on a 37-yard field goal attempt and missing out on three fourth down opportunities. The Bullets meanwhile, benefited from an 85-yard touchdown run by tailback Dusty Green midway through the quarter that put them in front, 14-7.
The Tigers tied the game at 14 in the second half on a nine yard touchdown reception by Josh Simpson, but just over two minutes later the Bullets capitalized on another interception in Tiger territory and went back on top, 21-14, with a 32 yard touchdown run by tailback Tom Sturges.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Bullets went up by two touchdowns as quarterback Mark Campo scored on a nine yard scramble to make the score 28-14 with 13:27 to play. The Tigers countered with a five yard Drew Smith touchdown catch at 4:13 to play, but it was all the Tiger offense could muster as Hampden-Sydney took its first back-to-back loss since 2001.
Hampden-Sydney freshman quarterback Craig Warnement (Charlotte, NC/Charlotte Catholic) completed 20-of-44 passes for 261 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, while Gettysburg quarterbacks Matt Flynn and Mark Campo combined to complete 7-of-15 passes for 40 yards.
The Tiger defense was led by safeties Thomas Wiley (Gloucester, VA/Gloucester) and Barrett Laine (Keysville, VA/Randolph-Henry) who each recorded seven total tackles on the day, while Gettysburg was led by Scott Sheppard with six tackles, while Harold Barton and Rob Brassell combined for six stops and two interceptions.
Hampden-Sydney returns to action in two weeks when the Tigers host Old Dominion Athletic Conference-foe Guilford College on September 23, at 1 pm, a Hundley Stadium and Fulton Field.
