Ohio Shuts Out Sacramento State for Three Quarters, Wins 48-7
Forty-one to nothing after three quarters. That was the game, and the rest was the final score getting a little less ugly. Ohio beat Sacramento State 48-7, and the Hornets did not get on the board until 12:24 was left in the fourth.
Ohio opened with a 3-yard run by Duncan Brune with 5:35 left in the first quarter, and then it did not stop. Will Hryszko kicked a 50-yard field goal, Victor Rosa ran in from 16 yards, Hryszko kicked a 37-yarder, and Brune scored again from 14 yards, which made it 27-0 at the half. In the third quarter Nick Poulos hit Preston Bowman for a 67-yard touchdown and Levi Davis ran 14 yards for another, and the Bobcats led 41-0. Kenyon Shabazz's 38-yard catch from Brian Salazar Jr. was the home team's only score. Irving Brown's 2-yard run with 3:07 left closed it.
Five of Ohio's six touchdowns came on the ground, and the Bobcats ran for 266 yards and threw for 203, 469 in all against 267 for Sacramento State. Ohio did not turn the ball over, and Sacramento State threw an interception. Ohio also had three sacks, and the Hornets never sacked anyone. They finished with no sacks and no lead, just a long afternoon. Ohio's offense had 469 yards and a week to feel good about it.
Ohio goes to 5-2 and Sacramento State falls to 1-6. For fantasy, the points were spread out: Bowman, Brune and Poulos all landed between 17 and 20, and no one on the Ohio roster went wild.
