Bears survive shootout with Bullets
Ursinus and Gettysburg combined for 1,327 yards of total offense and in the end, it was Ursinus running the final 6:36 of the game out to win 55-50.

Ursinus led 55-23 in the third quarter and controlled the ball for more than 40 minutes on the afternoon, led by freshman Nick Giarratano's 11 catches for 218 yards and two touchdowns. Matt Flynn threw for 519 yards and seven touchdowns in the loss for the Bullets. Photo gallery.

Rochester picked up its first win of the year and dealt RPI its first loss in the Yellowjackets' 16-10 victory. RPI was ranked in the AFCA Top 25 but didn't receive a single vote in the D3football.com poll. Rochester also controlled the ball for more than 40 minutes, including 24:03 in the second half alone.

Week 5 brings the latest installments in several rivalries that have recently defined conference races. Christopher Newport won a double-overtime thriller 30-27 over Shenandoah to open USA South Athletic Conference play. Trinity (Conn.) scored a fourth down touchdown, recovered an onside kick and scored again to stun Williams 26-21 in the NESCAC.

UW-River Falls scored a touchdown in overtime to draw within one of UW-Stout. The Falcons went for two and the win but came away with neither as the Blue Devils sacked quarterback Ryan Luessenheide on the conversion attempt to preserve a 13-12 victory. Mississippi College put up 491 yards of total offense to outlast Louisiana College 54-44 and remain tied for first in the ASC. Maryville edged Methodist 36-30 in four overtimes.

Carleton retained The Goat, symbolic of its football rivalry with St. Olaf, by defeating the Oles 17-13 helped by a 5-yard touchdown run for offensive tackle Brad Eckelmann. It's the Knights' second win in a row in the series after an 11-year drought. Benedictine upset NATHC neighbor and defending champ Aurora 21-14, intercepting quarterback Mike Anderson three times.

Hampden-Sydney continued its recent run against Bridgewater (Va.), blanking the Eagles 19-0. DePauw edged Millsaps 29-27 with Jordan Havercamp's 42-yard field goal as the difference. Millsaps was also ranked in the AFCA Top 25. Tanner Kelly completed 32 of 39 passes for 436 yards as Albright beat Wilkes 43-21. The Lions are the lone undefeated team in the MAC, thanks to Delaware Valley dispatching Lebanon Valley 28-7.

Gallaudet surprised 2008 playoff hopeful Husson, winning 10-7 at home in an ECFC game despite completing zero of six passes and mustering just 173 yards of total offense. McMurry ended a 17-game losing streak that dated to October 2007 with a win over East Texas Baptist, 45-21. "The main thing was they had to get three monkeys off their back," said McMurry coach Hal Mumme. "They had to get the East Texas Baptist monkey, the conference monkey and the general we haven't won a game and we-have-sophomores-who-don't-even-know-what-it-feels-like-to-win monkey."

On Friday night, Kean notched another big conference win 28-7 over previously unbeaten TCNJ. The Lions came into the weekend with the highest scoring offense in Division III (57.3 points per game through three games). Kean's Jared Chunn ran for 210 yards and two touchdowns.
