THE RUNDOWN
  • Final Score: Slippery Rock 38, Gannon 21
  • Records: Gannon (2-8, 2-5 PSAC West) | Slippery Rock (9-1, 7-0 PSAC West)
  • Location: Mihalik-Thompson Stadium — Slippery Rock, Pa.

GAMEDAY MEDIA CENTER
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Gannon defense locked down after a big opening kickoff return by the Rock, holding the hosts to a field goal to start.
  • Cody Callaway (Grafton, Ohio/Midview) led the Golden Knights on a seven-play, 75-yard jaunt on the ensuing drive, hitting Alex Hutchings (Webster, N.Y./Webster Thomas) for 25 yards, and later scampering 32 yards. Two plays after that big run, he covered the final nine yards for the score to make it 7-3 with 7:41 left in the first quarter.
  • SRU responded with a touchdown on the next drive, and built its lead out to 17-7 after holding Gannon to a pair of three-and-outs.
  • The Golden Knight defense forced a punt to start the second quarter, but the Slippery Rock defense held once again, and the SRU offense made it 27-7 heading into the break.
  • Another big play from the Gannon offense on the first play off the second half got the Golden Knights going, as Callaway found Richard Makowski (Kolkwitz, Germany/Lausitzer Sportschule) for 56 yards down to the Rock 19. A Marcus Jones (Painesville, Ohio/Riverside) four-yard run on 4th and 3 made it 1st and goal, but the drive stalled, and a field goal attempt was blocked.
  • Slippery Rock converted for a touchdown on each of its next two drives. The Gannon offense seemed to be getting some footing late in the third, collecting a pair of first downs, but the drive stalled.
  • The Gannon defense came up with a big stop on SRU's longest drive of the game. The Rock oved the ball 85 yards down to the Gannon 5-yard line, but A.J. Satcher (Buffalo, N.Y./Canisius) stuffed the ballcarrier for a loss to turn the ball over on downs.
     
GAME NOTES
  • Callaway, making his first career start at quarterback, threw for 154 yards and added 34 yards and his score on the ground.
  • Martell Davis (Columbus, Ohio/Licking Heights) led the Golden Knight defense with seven total tackles and two pass breakups. Defensive tackle Malachi Woody (Lynchburg, Va./Liberty Christian Academy) added six stops and half sack, while Noah Harris-Lyles (Atlantic City, N.J./Atlantic City) and Shi'Quan Likely (Columbus, Ohio/South High) went for five tackles and a tackle for loss each.
