The Bullets placed second in the University Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC), but were awarded the Lambert Cup as the best football team at a mid-sized college in the East.
Rod Albright, Dick Shirk and Brian Tierney were the team captains.
After the second straight win, the Bullets entered the UPI small college poll at No.
Both of Gettysburg's early-season losses were to divisional rivals, yielding a 4–2 MAC University Division record, good for only second place.
Nonetheless, the Bullets leapfrogged Delaware – which had beaten them in the league standings and in their head-to-head matchup – in the Lambert Cup balloting.
