Treynor Cleeland Throws Five Touchdowns as UC Davis Beats San Diego 49-17
San Diego scored first, and that lead lasted until early in the second quarter. UC Davis then scored 49 of the game's last 59 points. Final: UC Davis 49, San Diego 17.
Omar Mbakwe's 2-yard run made it 7-0 late in the first quarter, and that was the only lead San Diego held. Treynor Cleeland tied it with a 10-yard pass to Samuel Gbatu Jr. at 14:57 of the second, and then the quarter got away from the Toreros: Jordan Fisher ran in from a yard out, Edward Khutsishvili caught a 13-yarder 22 seconds later, and Fisher caught a 31-yarder with 1:53 left. UC Davis scored 28 points in the second quarter alone and led 28-7 at the break.
It kept going. Tyler Hennessy caught a 5-yard score early in the third, Matteo Perez ran 79 yards at 7:11 and it was 42-7. San Diego got a 22-yard Dom Nankil touchdown pass to Cole Monach and an Emiliano Salazar field goal to make it 42-17 (the Toreros were down 42-14 entering the fourth), and Gbatu added an 8-yarder with 7:30 left to finish it.
The giveaways did not decide it, but they were not close. San Diego threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles, four turnovers, to UC Davis's two (one pick, one fumble lost). UC Davis outgained San Diego 537 yards to 328. The Aggies are 2-0 and San Diego is 0-1.
For fantasy, this was a three-man game: Cleeland at 42.4, Gbatu at 33.9 and Fisher at 28.8.
