West Florida Pulls Away from Central Arkansas 42-14
Ty'ray Davis was 14 of 17 for 227 yards and three touchdowns, and he ran for another one. That is how West Florida went to Central Arkansas and came home with a 42-14 win, and 28 of the points came from Davis directly.
West Florida opened 14-0 on Davis's 7-yard run and a 3-yard TJ Lane run, and Donovyn Omolo got Central Arkansas on the board with a 44-yard run of his own in the second quarter. That was as close as it got, at 14-7. Davis threw touchdowns of 35 yards to Brite Cannon and 8 yards to Tyler Dostin before the half for a 28-7 lead. Then A'Khoury Lyde returned an interception 37 yards for a score early in the third quarter (14:32 left), and Gage Armbruster caught a 42-yarder from Davis to make it 42-7. Omolo and James Jointer connected from 24 yards with 4:11 left in the third, and that was the last score of the game.
Take away the pick-six and it is still 35-14, so do not blame the turnover alone. But Central Arkansas lost two fumbles on top of the interception, three giveaways to West Florida's none, and was sacked zero times while getting zero sacks of its own. The totals were close enough to be misleading: 405 yards for West Florida, 347 for Central Arkansas.
West Florida is 2-0 and Central Arkansas is 1-1. On the fantasy board, Davis was the obvious pick, but Omolo's 32.4 on a losing team is worth a look.
