Discuss “Football wins ECAC Southwest Bowl Game”

Carnegie Mellon’s football team needed some fourth-quarter heroics en route to coming from behind and defeating the visiting Gettysburg College Bullets 21–20 in the ECAC Southwest Bowl on Saturday.

With the game on the line, sophomore quarterback Phil Pantalone completed an 8-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Brendan Howe on fourth and goal with 2:09 remaining in the fourth quarter to put Carnegie Mellon up 21–20.

The Carnegie Mellon defense preserved the victory with one more stand after the ensuing kickoff. The Tartans finish the season at 7–4 while Gettysburg falls to 6–5.

Gettysburg took the opening kickoff and marched down the field mixing the run with a pass to score the game’s first touchdown.
