Raynor Runs and Throws Iowa State past Southeast Missouri State
Jaylen Raynor accounted for four of Iowa State's five touchdowns, two running and two throwing, and Iowa State beat Southeast Missouri State 38-10.
Raynor opened the scoring with a seven-yard run in the first quarter, then threw a 24-yard touchdown to Vince Benetti with 2:27 left in the quarter for 14-0. Chance Wilson got Southeast Missouri State on the board with a seven-yard run in the second quarter, but Aiden Flora answered from 11 yards out, and Raynor hit Easton Miller from 10 yards with 2:50 left in the half. That made it 28-7 at the break, and the game was more or less decided.
Kyle Konrardy's 33-yard field goal made it 31-7 late in the third. Justin Keller kicked a 40-yarder for the visitors early in the fourth (31-10), and Raynor put the lid on it with another seven-yard run, his second rushing touchdown, with 10:41 to play. Both of his rushing touchdowns were seven yards, which is a very tidy way to run a game.
It was not a big yardage day. Iowa State had 195 passing yards and 108 rushing yards (303 total) on 31 rushing attempts. Raynor was 8 of 16, so he was efficient with the touches he had. The only blemish was one lost fumble, which was Flora's. The defense had six sacks.
Iowa State is 1-0, Southeast Missouri State 0-1. For fantasy, Raynor's 34.6 points were more than three times what anyone else on his team scored. Flora and Dominic Overby tied for second at 10.5, Flora with a touchdown and a fumble, Overby with just two catches that went for 85 yards (42.5 a catch).
