New Haven Wins with Four Field Goals and a Blocked Punt
Liam Quigley kicked four field goals, from 21, 53, 47 and 46 yards, and that was 12 of New Haven's 26 points. Add a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, and you have most of how New Haven beat Robert Morris 26-15 on 84 passing yards.
New Haven opened with the 21-yarder, and Carson Haggard's 1-yard run put Robert Morris up 7-3 early in the second. Quigley hit the 53-yarder as the half expired to make it 7-6. Dante DiNuzzo then returned a blocked punt for a touchdown at 13:45 of the third quarter, and that was the lead for good: 13-7. Frank Daniley's 12-yard run made it 20-7, and Quigley's 47-yard field goal made it 23-7. Haggard found Jaqai Carter from 55 yards at 7:34 of the fourth, and the two-point conversion made it 23-15, but Quigley's 46-yarder with 1:33 left ended it.
Robert Morris ran 21 times for 5 yards, threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. That is four turnovers. New Haven had none, and it sacked Haggard four times. Robert Morris still outgained New Haven 251 yards to 240, which tells you how many of those yards went nowhere. Haggard completed 16 of 41. New Haven, meanwhile, ran 41 times for 156 yards and let the kicker and the special teams do the loud work. It is not pretty, but it is a win, and I will take those.
New Haven is 2-4 and Robert Morris is 2-2. For fantasy, Carter was the top scorer in the game at 29.1 on 9 catches, and Haggard scored 20.1, a down day by his standards.
