Second-Half Success Leads Football to 35-13 Win vs. Hiram
MEADVILLE, Pa. -- It was a tale of two halves for the Allegheny College football team on a cold and rainy Saturday at Frank B. Fuhrer '48, but the Gators prevailed and beat Hiram College, 35-13. For the second week in a row, the Gators (8-1, 6-1 PAC) needed some second-half magic to turn a gloomy start into a resounding win. Trailing 13-7 at the half with just 63 yards of offense to their name, the Gators sprung to life in the second half and outscored the Terriers (4-5, 1-5 PAC) 28-0. Across the last two quarters, junior quarterbackCarson Colucci (Brewster, Ohio/Fairless) guided the Allegheny offense to touchdowns on four of their five drives, with the only exception being a fumble on the doorstep of the goal line just yards from a fifth touchdown. In the third quarter, Colucci threw touchdown passes to Nick Burkey (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) and Remington Rossow (West Palm Beach, Fla./Forest Hill). He began the fourth with another connection with Rossow in the end zone, before freshman running back Brady Vrcic (Pittsburgh, Pa./Serra Catholic) rumbled for a 13-yard carry to seal the win.
