Keali'i Ah Yat Throws Five Touchdowns as Montana Rolls to 5-0
Two Montana players finished with exactly 47.3 Promethium points, and one of them threw the ball to the other. Keali'i Ah Yat went 23 of 30 for 346 yards and five touchdowns, and Brooks Davis caught nine passes for 205 yards and three of those scores in a 36-14 win over Northern Colorado.
Montana never trailed. Ah Yat hit Ian Finch from 24 yards in the first quarter, then Davis from 61 early in the second (Davis also ran in the two-point conversion), and it was 15-0. Eli Gillman caught a 9-yarder in the third quarter, and Davis added a 25-yarder about three minutes after that, which made it 29-0. Finch caught two passes for 25 yards, and one was the touchdown that opened the scoring. Northern Colorado did not score until 13 seconds were left in the third.
That is when Kenny Lueth ran in from 2 yards, with the two-point pass failing, to make it 29-6. Davis answered with a 28-yard touchdown with 11:13 left in the fourth, and Lueth scored again from a yard out with 2:47 left, running in the two-point try himself. The final score was 36-14.
The team totals match the scoreboard. Montana had 562 yards (355 passing, 207 rushing), no turnovers and 3 sacks. Northern Colorado had 299, with an interception. Lueth was 1 of 5 passing and ran for 58 yards and two scores, so he was more useful as a runner. Montana is 5-0, Northern Colorado 1-3.
If you had Ah Yat or Davis, you had a week. Both of their 47.3 point days were season highs.
