Series History: Today's game marks the 99th meeting between Gettysburg and Franklin & Marshall in a series that began with a 68-0 Franklin & Marshall win in 1890. The Bullets hold a slight 46-45-7 edge in the series, winning the last three contests. 

The bulk of the series has been played out in Lancaster, with 68 of the 98 games on the books having been settled on the Sponaugle-Williamson gridiron. F&M holds a 37-27-4 lead in those games, and has taken three of the last four meetings at home.   

The most recent tie came in 1985, when the squads finished the day without changing the scoreboard.  It was the third scoreless tie in the series. Neither team mustered a point in the 1920 or 1921 clashes. All told, there have been 30 shutouts in the series (33 if you count the scoreless ties twice). Gettysburg was the victor in 16 of the shutouts, while F&M has won 11 without surrendering a point. The series has also seen an anomalous 4-4 tie coming in the 1893 meeting. 

The Last Meeting: Franklin & Marshall outscored Gettysburg 17-3 in the fourth quarter, but the Bullets were able to hold on and escape with a 38-31 win on Nov. 10, 2012.
