• A wild first half of the opening quarter saw the two teams score twice in the first eight minutes for a 13-13 tie. Walter Fletcher opened the scoring with a 65-yard touchdown run on the opening play of the game, giving Edinboro a 7-0 lead. Seton Hill responded four plays later as Jarvis McClam caught a 45-yard touchdown pass from Christian Strong. Nick Pettigrew blocked the extra point, with Edinboro leading 7-6 less than two minutes into the game.
• Edinboro needed eight plays to cover 73 yards on their ensuing possession. Sisson threw the first of his five touchdown passes, a 32-yarder to James Clark on a fly pattern down the right sideline. Mike Cushma's PAT attempt was blocked, with Edinboro leading 13-6. Back came the Griffins, going 59 yards on seven plays, with McClam accounting for the touchdown on a four-yard run at the 7:39 mark of the first quarter.
• The teams would each tack on a touch in the first three minutes of the second quarter, but it was a quarter that Edinboro would ultimately dominate. The Fighting Scots grabbed a 20-13 advantage with 13:25 left in the quarter. Ta'Nauz Gregory did the honors after Edinboro forced a Seton Hill punt. The Scots needed just three plays to cover the 86 yards. The last 82 were courtesy of  Gregory, as the sophomore hauled in a pass on 3^rd-and-6 at his own 40 and outran four defenders.
• Less than a minute later, the Griffins knotted the score at 20-20 as Strong and Deandre Smith combined on a 64-yard scoring pass with 12:46 left.
  Those would be the last points put on the board by Seton Hill. Edinboro, meanwhile, would score two more touchdowns in the second quarter to take a 34-20 lead at the half. The first drive was 10 plays for 65 yards, and the second 12 for 63 yards, and both ended with Fletcher scoring runs. The first was on a 10-yard run, as the drive was kept alive thanks to a 16-yard completion from Sisson to Clark down to the SHU 28 on a 4^th-and-3 play.
  Fletcher's third score of the afternoon and second of the quarter followed the first of two interceptions by DeVon Groves on a tipped ball by Aaron Rogers. Fletcher's seventh run of the drive was a two-yard TD run with 3:23 remaining in the half.
• Edinboro added 21 more points in the third quarter to squash any Seton Hill comeback hopes. After Maurice Sims threw Evan Byrd for a seven-yard loss on 4^th-and-1 at the EU 31, Fletcher burst 59 yards to the four on the next play. Three Fletcher runs later resulted in another two-yard scoring run and a 41-20 lead with 9:45 left in the period.
• The Sisson-to-Clark combo accounted for the next two scores and a 55-20 lead after three quarters. The first capped a six-play, 79-yard drive, ending with 39-yard TD pass. After a three-and-out for Seton Hill, the Fighting Scots marched 65 yards on seven plays. This time Sisson found Clark open in the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown catch.
• Edinboro would score two more touchdowns in a five minute span early in the fourth quarter. Both scores were set up by interceptions, the first by Brandon Anderson and the second courtesy of Groves. Gregory caught his second touchdown pass of the day from Sisson, a two-yarder, to end a seven-play, 73-yard drive that featured a 46-yard completion to Clark.
• Groves' second pickoff of the day led to a 31-yard drive engineered by backup quarterback Andrew Tomko. The redshirt freshman threw his first career touchdown pass on a 4^th-and-8 play, an 11-yarder to Koran Williams. It was the first touchdown reception for Williams.   
            

• The Edinboro offense had nine scoring drives of 60-or-more yards and finished with a school-record 826 yards. That figure was two yards shy of the all-time PSAC record for total offense in a game. The Fighting Scots actually surpassed that figure with 830 yards on a 56-yard run by Kyle Galyk to the SHU 4 late in the game. Edinboro proceeded to take three knees, in the process losing four yards to finish with 826.
• Edinboro has now scored 118 points over the last two games, with 49 against Slippery Rock and 69 vs. Seton Hill. That's the highest point total in a two-game stretch since the 1994 team scored 126 points in back-to-back games.
• After a slow start, the Edinboro defense made some adjustments and totally shut down Seton Hill after the early stages of the second quarter. The Griffins ended the day with 310 total yards, with 232 yards and three touchdowns on their first four possessions. The final nine drives, not counting a seven-second possession to end the half, resulted in 65 yards, with three interceptions, five punts, and a turnover on downs.
