Incarnate Word Picks Off UT Rio Grande Valley Three Times in a 41-16 Win
Aidan Jakobsohn went 27 of 45 for 255 yards. That sounds like a decent day, until you add the three interceptions, and Incarnate Word beat UT Rio Grande Valley 41-16.
Incarnate Word never trailed. Lontrell Turner ran in from two yards for the first score, and the game was tied exactly once, at 10-10 early in the second quarter after Corey Holmes caught a 17-yarder. After that, Incarnate Word scored 24 straight points: Emmett Brown threw 15 yards to Jayden Hibbler, Nick Rigas kicked a 33-yard field goal, Roy Alexander ran in from three yards, and Damashja Harris scored from two early in the third. That was 34-10, and the rest was just clock.
UT Rio Grande Valley got a 2-yard TJ Dement run with 11:56 left in the fourth (the two-point try failed), and Harris answered with a 12-yarder at 4:15. Final: 41-16.
UT Rio Grande Valley ran 29 times for 56 yards and gave it away four times (three picks and a lost fumble). Incarnate Word ran 37 times for 201 and had five sacks, though it coughed up one interception and one fumble of its own, so it was not perfectly clean. Brown completed 21 of 33 for 193 yards and one touchdown.
Both teams are 2-3 now, which is a strange way to describe a 25-point game. Hibbler is the fantasy story, at 31.7 points on 14 carries and seven catches.
