Youngstown State Rolls up 698 Yards in a Rout of Indiana State
Jaden Gilbert's second touchdown of the day went 65 yards, and after that Indiana State mostly watched. Youngstown State won 57-24 and finished with 698 total yards.
Indiana State scored first (Max McCool, 1 yard, 13:36 left in the first quarter) and that was the end of its lead after Gilbert tied it with a 14-yard run and then broke the 65-yarder, making it 15-7. The Sycamores got a field goal from Sebastian Lopez to make it 15-10, and a 25-yard pass from Brady Allen to Torey French cut it to 22-17 early in the second quarter. That was the last time it was close. Gilbert added a 12-yard run, Beau Brungard threw 36 yards to Lynn Wyche-El before the half, and it was 36-17.
The third quarter brought a 75-yard touchdown pass from Brungard to Bryan Hunt, a 37-yard McCool run, and a 16-yard throw to Jeremiah Sanders, and it was 50-24 entering the fourth. Brungard ran in from a yard out with 12:07 left to make it 57-24.
The Penguins passed for 417 yards and ran for 281 on 37 carries, with no turnovers. Indiana State threw for 299 yards but ran 27 times for 30, and it did not turn the ball over either. Clean football on both sides, and a 33-point margin anyway.
Youngstown State is 5-1. Indiana State falls to 2-4, and had a 299-yard passing day (Brady Allen was 20 of 28) that did not matter. For fantasy, Brungard had 53.2 points, Gilbert 39.1 and Wyche-El 29.7, which is a lot of points for one offense.
