Hejny and Colorado State Pile up 58 on Southern Utah
If you started Hauss Hejny, you had a good Saturday. Colorado State's quarterback finished with 51.5 fantasy points, which is more than most people get from a whole backfield.
His line was 18 of 30 for 325 yards and four touchdowns with one interception, plus 5 carries for 85 yards and a 75-yard touchdown run that closed the scoring at 58-24 with 12:31 left in the fourth quarter. Nobody else in the game came close.
Colorado State never trailed. The first two scores came 52 seconds apart in the first quarter, a 68-yard pass to Cedric Ross and a 38-yard pass to Terrence Smith, and it was 14-0 before Southern Utah's Will Burns found David Spjut from 18 yards. Then Floyd Chalk ran 58 yards and 3 yards for scores in the second quarter, and Southern Utah actually pulled within three, 24-21, with 4:12 left in the half.
That was as close as it got. Colorado State answered with 27 straight: a 73-yard touchdown run, Hejny hitting Jackson Harper from 17 and Smith from 33, and a 51-yard Kali Nguma field goal on the final play of the half for 48-21. A third-quarter field goal and a fourth-quarter Southern Utah field goal followed.
The yardage: Colorado State finished with 682 total yards, 382 passing and 300 rushing, and threw one interception. Colorado State is 2-0 and Southern Utah is 0-1.
Three Rams ran the fantasy table: Hejny at 51.5, Jayden Brown at 30.4 and Smith at 25.0, who also threw a 28-yard pass for good measure.
