LIVESTREAM NCAA Div. III: Dickinson Red Devils @ Gettysburg Bullets, Oct. 10, 19:00 CET (7 pm, 1 pm ET)
The Dickinson Red Devils (3–1, 1–0) travel to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, October 10, to face the Gettysburg Bullets (2–2, 0–1) in a Centennial Conference matchup featuring one of NCAA Division III football’s oldest rivalries.
It’s the 91st meeting between the programs, with the all-time series deadlocked at 44–44–2. Dickinson has won nine straight, including last year’s 49–21 victory, but there’s more than conference positioning at stake. The winner takes home the Little Brown Bucket, a trophy the teams have battled over since 1938.
Red Devils riding high
Dickinson enters the contest following an impressive 35–21 comeback victory over Johns Hopkins, snapping a losing streak against the Blue Jays that dated back to 2006.
Trailing 21–7 at halftime, the Red Devils erupted for 28 unanswered third-quarter points, capitalizing on three turnovers to turn the game around.
Running back Dane Sorensen was outstanding, rushing for 122 yards and two touchdowns while adding seven receptions for 74 yards and another score. He leads the Centennial Conference with 515 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
Canadian quarterback Ben Klassen completed 23 of 29 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns against Hopkins. For the season, he has completed nearly 67 percent of his attempts.
Defensively, German lineman Joaquin Acuna recorded eight tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, earning conference Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Bullets looking to bounce back
Gettysburg needs a response after being shut out 29–0 by Franklin & Marshall last weekend.
The Bullets managed just 208 yards and committed three turnovers, but their defense has been considerably more consistent.
Led by linebacker Justin Bardo, who averages 11 tackles per game, Gettysburg boasts the conference’s top pass defense, allowing just 134.3 yards per contest.
Quarterback Sean Clark has completed 80 of 126 passes, while receivers Jayden Lee and Shane Donoghue provide dangerous downfield options.
International flavor adds intrigue
The Dickinson roster features a strong international contingent, including Norway’s Frederik Fjeldseth, Britain’s Chuk Uwechue, Sweden’s Alexander Pellikka and several German players.
Fjeldseth, a former Oslo Vikings player, has caught 10 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown this season.
A rivalry worth watching
First-year Gettysburg head coach Michael Green faces an immediate challenge against Brad Fordyce’s experienced Red Devils.
Dickinson has the momentum, but rivalry games have a way of ignoring recent form.
With the Little Brown Bucket on the line and both teams fighting for Centennial Conference positioning, Saturday’s matchup offers plenty of reasons to tune in.
