Butler Runs for 265 and Buries San Diego 41-10
Sam Manna carried nine times for 151 yards, and the longest one went 73 yards for a touchdown. Butler led from that moment to the end, 41-10 over San Diego.
The Bulldogs went up 7-0 on Manna's run with 9:53 left in the first quarter, and USD answered with a 44-yard field goal from Emiliano Salazar to make it 7-3. That was the closest it got. Butler's Beck Janki hit a 34-yarder, Desmin Jackson ran in from 22 yards, and Janki kicked another 34-yard field goal as the half expired to make it 20-3. In the third quarter Gabe Passini scored from 10 yards out at 8:50 and again from four yards at 7:14, and it was 34-3. Dom Nankil finally got San Diego into the end zone on a 30-yard pass to Omar Mbakwe with 13:36 left in the fourth, and Passini answered with a 9-yard run at 10:33 to close the scoring at 41-10.
The yardage is a mismatch worth staring at. Butler ran 34 times for 265 yards and added 217 through the air for 482 total. San Diego passed for 295 yards and ran 27 times for 13 (that is not a typo), so nearly all of its 308 yards came from throwing. It also threw two interceptions, Butler none. Passini finished 11 of 16 and had three rushing scores.
Butler improves to 3-1. San Diego falls to 2-4. For the fantasy crowd, it was a Passini day, with Manna the surprise: he had 22.9 points on 9 carries.
