Summary written for this site
With IUP leading 7–3 and threatening inside the Millersville 15 with a little more than ten minutes left, freshman defensive end Nick Reynolds stripped tailback Terrance Wilson behind the line of scrimmage; teammate Zellner recovered and returned the ball 74 yards to the IUP 6. Four plays later John Flamish scored from two yards for a 10–7 lead, and No. 15 Millersville held on to win 10–9 before 5,300 at Biemesderfer Stadium. The release credits Reynolds with 10 tackles, one of three Marauders in double figures, and calls the turnover the spark of the victory.

- — 10 solo tackles — Sports of Delaware County profile, October 20, 1999
Both attributions are kept; the newspaper's wording is not treated as identical to the official total.
Where the fumble happened
- — Threat at the Millersville 15, ball picked up at the 20 — Millersville narrative
- — Stripped at the Millersville 20 — ECAC award notice
Complementary rather than conflicting: the strip came inside the Millersville red zone and the return began near the 20.
