HOW IT HAPPENED

After a fumble on Gannon's first possession, Edinboro needed only two plays to get on the board. Anfreenee Williams raced down the right sideline 58 yards on the first play, before scoring from one yard out on the second play for a 7-0 lead 2:32 into the contest.
Gannon responded with 52 unanswered points, including 38 during the first half. Jones sparked the blitz with a 68-yard touchdown run that tied the game at seven with 7:31 left in the first half.
The Golden Knights followed with a nine-play, 85-yard drive during their next possession for a 14-7 advantage. The big play was a 46-yard completion from redshirt junior Liam Nadler (Leipsic, Ohio/Leipsic Local) to Caliste on a third-and-10 play. Three plays later, Nadler scored the go-ahead touchdown from seven yards out with 10 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
Gannon ended the first half with points during its last four possessions. The first was set-up by a Zach Stegner (Brandenburg, Ky./Richmond Hill, Ga.) fumble recovery on the Edinboro 20-yard line. Redshirt junior Mike Phillips (Bowie, Md./Bowie) forced the fumble. Jones needed only one play to chew up those 20 yards, pushing the lead to 21-7 with 10:51 left in the second quarter.
An 11-yard Edinboro punt started Gannon's next possession at the Fighting Scots' 32-yard line. A four-play drive concluded with a 23-yard pass from Nadler to Caliste and a six-yard scoring strike from Nadler to redshirt junior Jesstin Hamm (Harwood, Md./DeMatha Catholic) at the 7:29 mark.
Redshirt junior Joshua Wiechelt's (Depew, N.Y./Depew) interception inside Edinboro territory during the Fighting Scots' next possession continued the onslaught. A short 13-yard drive ended with a 37-yard field goal by true freshman Karch Holland (Pickerington, Ohio/Pickerington) with 3:18 showing on the clock.
After Edinboro turned the ball over on downs at the Gannon 40-yard line, the Golden Knights put the exclamation point on the first half. Gannon went 60 yards in one minute and 25 seconds. The Golden Knights opened the drive with three consecutive passes, including a pair to Caliste and a 29-yarder to freshman Brandon Mansell (New Brighton, Pa./Blackhawk). Senior Alex Papson's (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny) four-yard touchdown run closed the drive with 10 seconds remaining, propelling the Golden Knights into the halftime locker room with a 38-7 lead.
Gannon started the second half where it ended the first, scoring touchdowns during its first two drives after the intermission. A two-yard touchdown run by Nadler capped the first drive and a 21-yard scoring jaunt by Jones ended the second drive, pushing the lead to 52-7 with 12:10 left in the game.
