Robert Morris Sacks Wagner Six Times in a 28-7 Win
Wagner gained 97 total yards. That is not a typo. Robert Morris won 28-7, and the Seahawks' only touchdown came from a defender, a 40-yard interception return by Julio Tatis early in the third quarter.
Robert Morris scored first and never gave it up. Galen Combs returned a punt 22 yards for a touchdown with 9:21 left in the first quarter, and Carson Haggard threw a 6-yard touchdown to Jaqai Carter two and a half minutes later. It was 14-0 and the offense had barely done anything yet. Tatis made it 14-7, but that was the closest Wagner got.
Combs, who already had the punt return, then caught a 64-yard touchdown from Haggard with 2:03 left in the third, and a 15-yarder with 5:35 left in the fourth to close the scoring. Three touchdowns for Combs, and not one of them a rushing score.
The defense did the real work. Robert Morris sacked Wagner six times. Wagner threw for 75 yards and ran 26 times for 22, and it lost a fumble as well. Robert Morris was hardly smooth on offense (285 total yards, 79 of them on the ground, and two interceptions from Haggard, one of which went back for Wagner's touchdown), but when the other side has 97 yards you can afford that. Take away the pick-six and Wagner is shut out. Robert Morris starts 1-0 and Wagner 0-1. Wagner's offense also never scored a point on its own, and the Colonials led the entire game from the first score on.
Fantasy managers: Haggard and Combs were the plays.
