Youngstown State Routs Duquesne 70-13 with Six Brungard Touchdown Passes
Beau Brungard scored 70.7 fantasy points in a game his team won 70-13. That is a very tidy coincidence, and Duquesne was the one who paid for it.
Duquesne did lead, with a 25-yard Matt Clark field goal with 9:38 left in the first quarter. That lasted about four minutes. Brungard threw a 3-yard touchdown to Jaden Gilbert, ran in a 3-yarder himself, and threw a 6-yard score to Dorian Williams with 0:00 left in the quarter, and Youngstown State led 21-3. Ryan Petras caught a 22-yard touchdown from Carson Camp to make it 21-10, and that was Duquesne's last touchdown.
The rest of the second quarter was a clinic. Jeremiah Sanders caught a 36-yarder, Lynn Wyche-El a 9-yarder, Bryan Hunt a 4-yarder and Wyche-El a 23-yarder, all from Brungard, and it was 49-10 at halftime. Brungard finished 20 of 23 for 290 yards and six touchdown passes, plus 14 carries for 111 yards and two more scores. His last score was a 1-yard run in the third. Malachi Lewis then threw a 54-yard touchdown to Max Welter in the fourth and ran in a 15-yarder for the last score of the game.
Youngstown State had 610 yards (407 passing, 203 rushing), no turnovers, and two sacks. Duquesne had 244 yards, 89 of them passing, and also turned it over zero times. Clean game, wrong side of it.
Youngstown State is 2-0 and Duquesne is 0-1. The fantasy news is the obvious one: Brungard, Wyche-El at 24.7 and Lewis at 18 were the top three, and two of them are quarterbacks.
