by Charlie McGuire
(Carlisle, PA)- The Dickinson College football team used a total team effort to give head coach Darwin Breaux his 100th career victory on Saturday afternoon as the Red Devils topped rival Gettysburg 29-16. Breaux holds a 100-61-1 overall record in 16 years at the helm of the Red Devils.
A heavy rain kept the scoring down early as Dickinson took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter and led 10-3 at halftime. The Devils controlled the clock for the better part of the second half, putting up 16 points in the fourth quarter to keep possession of the Little Brown Bucket.
Sophomore Gordon Craig (Grove City, PA/Grove City) hit three field-goals from 21, 35 and 27 yards out. He put the Devils on the board at the 10:59 mark of the first quarter.
Josh Huson missed a pair of long attempts but converted a 37 yard field-goal to tie the game late in the first half. Pat O'Connor (Exton, PA/Downingtown East) returned the kick-off 31 yards and later finished the drive with a four yard touchdown catch to give the Devils a 10-3 lead. A.J. Reisig (Reading, PA/Reading CC) intercepted a pass to close out the half.
Craig hit a field-goal in the third and another to start the fourth, putting the Devils in front 16-3. Senior Steve Bokron (Wetherfield, CT/Loomis Chaffee) then returned a fumble 54 yards for a touchdown to put Dickinson in control, 22-3, with 9:30 remaining in the game.
Junior fullback Tim Wells (Baltimore, MD/Perry Hall) tacked on a seven yard scoring run with 3:57 left to play, stretching the lead to 29-3.
The Bullets kept coming as quarterback Matt Flynn drove Gettysburg 61 yards, hitting Brian Bentley with a 15 yard pass to make the score 29-9. Joe Delaney recovered a fumble and returned it 65 yards for the final of 29-16.
Junior quarterback Ian Mitchell (Newtown Square, PA/Malvern Prep) completed 14-of-23 passes for 160 yards and ran for another 66 on the day. O'Connor caught nine passes for 104 of those yards and had two kick-off returns for 40 yards.
Wells finished the day with 85 yards on 16 carries and caught a pair of passes for another 43 yards.
Senior Michael Dalton (Wilmington, DE/Wilmington Friends) led the defense with 10 tackles and a 20 yard interception return. Sophomore linebacker Kevin Wood (Westford, MA/Phillips) added nine tackles, a sack and a pass breakup while Matt Stone (Cheshire, CT/Choate) tallied eight tackles and forced a fumble. Cole Glennon (Stowe, PA/Pottsgrove) chipped in with six tackles, a sack and a forced fumble as well.
Jamel Mutunga led the Bullets with a game-high 117 yards rushing while Flynn completed 17-of-33 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown. Terence Hartigan led the defense with a game-high 12 tackles.

DIVISION III: DICKINSON 29, GETTYSBURG 16
Devils' defense holds Gettysburg in check
Sunday, October 26, 2008

CARLISLE - The changes made to Dickinson's Biddle Field since last football season were substantial.
Saturday, the primary benefactors from those changes were Dickinson and Gettysburg, the two teams playing on Biddle's artificial surface which replaced the grass.
And the group that looked most comfortable was Dickinson's defense, which held usually high-scoring Gettysburg's offense without a touchdown until the final 2:23 while the Red Devils were winning a Centennial Conference battle for The Little Brown Bucket 29-16.
"We gave our defense the game ball," said Dickinson coach Darwin Breaux, who picked up his 100th career win.
"They were steady the whole game and gave us the kind of play you need to have on a day like this."
The only thing missing from Dickinson's defense was a squeegee. Otherwise, the Red Devils mopped up everything Gettysburg tried up the middle, outside and through the air.
"That's the toughest defense we've faced all season," said Gettysburg coach Barry Streeter, whose Bullets had a three-game winning streak stopped.
Dickinson (4-3, 3-2), allowed only a 37-yard field goal to Josh Huson late in the second quarter which gave Gettysburg (3-5, 3-3) a temporary tie prior to Ian Mitchell's 4-yard touchdown pass to Pat O'Connor less than two minutes later.
"We felt it was important for the defense to step up today," said Dickinson senior cornerback Michael Dalton, who led the team in tackles with 10 and also picked off a pass by Gettysburg quarterback Matt Flynn.
"We were psyched for this game and knew that, with the playing conditions the way they were, we could play an important role in the outcome."
Also playing a significant role in what was expected to be a quarterbacks' battle was Dickinson's signal caller adding almost as much on the ground as through the air.
"We didn't want to turn the ball over and knew that our offensive line was winning the battle up front, so we didn't try to get fancy with pitch stuff going to the outside," Dickinson quarterback Ian Mitchell said.
But when Mitchell wanted to throw the ball, he had a more than capable receiver in O'Connor, who had nine catches for 104 yards, including the second-quarter touchdown.
"He's got to be the best receiver in the league," said Mitchell. "Any time I get the ball near him, I know he's going to bring it down."
After Dickinson increased its 10-3 halftime lead on a 35-yard Gordon Craig field goal midway through the third quarter, and another 27-yarder early in the fourth, Steve Bokron scored what amounted to the game-breaker on a 54-yard fumble return just two minutes later.
Tim Wells added a 7-yard TD run for Dickinson with just 3:57 remaining, then Flynn hit a 15-yard scoring pass to Brian Betley and Joe Delaney ran 70 yards with a fumble recovery against Dickinson's backups.
