Friday Afternoon News and Notes

It's getting closer to game day! Here's a few previews from around the web:

First some game notes from the McDaniel Website.

The following was taken from The Centennial Conference Friday Tailgate:

Gettysburg at McDaniel
Video: No. Audio: WTTR-AM 1470. Live Stats: Yes.

The Bullets and the Green Terror meet for the 62nd time in a series that began in 1891 ... Gettysburg holds a 44-16-1 advantage in this Route 97 rivalry ... the home team has won the last six meetings in the series ... the Bullets were idle last week ... QB Matt Flynn leads the Conference in total offense (270.5) … his fourth-quarter TD pass vs. Dickinson was the 34th of his career, breaking the school mark previously held by Dennis Flaherty '01 ... WB Charles Curcio is fourth in the CC in all-purpose yards (151.2 per game) … Gettysburg leads the Conference in passing and total offense and is second in scoring offense … the Bullets are last in the CC in red zone defense, allowing points on 83.3 percent of opponents' trips inside the 20 ... DE Josh Jerrold leads the Centennial in sacks (8.5) and tackles for loss (10.5) … Gettysburg is last in the CC in turnover margin (-7) ... McDaniel fell to 2-6 with a 20-0 loss at Franklin & Marshall, ensuring the Terror's third straight losing season - something that has not happened on The Hill since 1987-88-89 ... LB Mike Weick has five straight double-digit tackle games and leads the CC with 12.0 per game ... this weekend is Homecoming Weekend at McDaniel, who has a 52-22-1 record in front of the alums.

And the following was taken from the Harrisburg Patriot-News:

GETTYSBURG AT McDANIEL:
Gettysburg will be away from home for its final time this season when it visits McDaniel at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Bullets (3-5, 3-3) can still salvage a .500 season with a win at McDaniel (2-6, 1-5), then a home victory over Franklin & Marshall to close regular-season play. It's been a record season for Gettysburg junior quarterback Matt Flynn, who broke the school career mark for touchdown passes; his scoring strike to sophomore Brian Betley in the 29-16 loss at Dickinson was the 15th of his career. Flynn also holds the career total offense record with 5,136 yards and needs just 98 against McDaniel to break the 5,136-yard passing mark set by Dennis Flaherty seven years ago.
