EDINBORO, Pa. - The Gannon football team continued its up-and-down season Saturday afternoon with a 40-3 loss at 21st-ranked Edinboro.

The home squad added two touchdowns in both the third and fourth quarters to account for the final score. The Fighting Scots had one PAT blocked and a bad snapped forced a failed PAT rushing attempt in the second half.

Edinboro held advantages in first downs (23-10), total yards (395-163), rushing yards (193-84), passing yards (202-79), and possession time (34:56-25:04).
