Idaho State Piles up 640 Yards in 59-17 Rout of San Diego
Six hundred and forty yards. Idaho State put that many on San Diego and won 59-17 to move to 2-0, while San Diego fell to 0-2.
It was 21-0 before the first quarter ended. Davis Harsin ran in from 4 yards, Jordan Cooke hit Carson Sudbury from 8, and then Cooke found Chedon James for 74 yards. San Diego got a Dom Nankil 7-yard run and a field goal to make it 24-10 by the half, but Idaho State kept adding: Collin Lewis returned an interception 28 yards for a score, Tytan Mason ran in from 21, and Zedekiah Anahu-Ambrosio caught a 79-yard touchdown from Cooke early in the fourth.
The best trick came after that. With 5:23 left Harsin, who had also run for a score in the first quarter, threw a 90-yard touchdown to Anahu-Ambrosio. Elijah Beamon's 1-yard run with 1:07 left made it 59-17. Idaho State threw for 462 yards and ran for 178 on only 27 carries, without a turnover. Cooke was 15 of 26 for 331 yards and three touchdowns.
San Diego did run the ball, 45 carries for 235 yards, and CJ Ceron's 53-yard run with 12:28 left cut it to 45-17 for a minute. But San Diego threw for just 122 yards and two interceptions, one of them the pick-six, and sacked the quarterback twice.
For fantasy, Anahu-Ambrosio caught only three passes and scored 37.2 points, two of the three catches going for 79 and 90 yards. That is how you do a month's work in one afternoon.
