If Gettysburg wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Hershey, they should've done a better job of containing Cameron Sweeney. The Trojans strolled past the Warriors with points to spare on Friday, taking the game 48-31 for which the team can thank Sweeney, who rushed for 199 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.4 yards per carry, and also threw for 99 yards and a pair of TDs. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 59 yards.

When it comes to explaining why Gettysburg lost, don't look at Preston Burnett. Despite the final result, he rushed for 226 yards and three scores while picking up 8.4 yards per carry. With that strong performance, Burnett is now averaging an impressive 115.8 rushing yards per game.

Hershey is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 36.8 points over those games. As for Gettysburg, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-4.
