Duquesne Scores 42 Straight to Bury Wagner 52-21
Wagner led 21-10 in the second quarter and then did not score again. Duquesne scored 42 straight points to win 52-21, which is the kind of finish that makes the first half look like a different game.
The early going belonged to Wagner's Benjamin Newman, who threw touchdown passes of 33 yards to Jeremiah Colclough, 12 to Johans Bars and 33 to Zion Fowler-El. The last of those, with 7:17 left in the second quarter, made it 21-10. Carson Camp had thrown a 4-yard touchdown pass for Duquesne in the first quarter, and a 25-yarder to Myles Walker with 29 seconds left in the half cut it to 21-17.
Nothing scored in the third quarter. Then Camp ran in from 1 yard at 13:44 of the fourth to put Duquesne back in front at 24-21, and he added a 9-yard run to make it 31-21. Ness Davis ran 27 yards for a touchdown, there was another score with 4:28 left, and Deven Thomas finished it with a 70-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown with 2:41 to go.
The totals lean the same way. Duquesne ran for 247 yards on 34 carries and sacked Wagner five times. Wagner lost two fumbles and threw an interception, even though it outpassed Duquesne 243 yards to 180. Take away that last fumble return and it is still 45-21, so the late touchdown was not the whole story.
Duquesne improves to 2-2, and Wagner falls to 0-5. For fantasy, Camp was the top scorer at 33.3 points, and Johness Davis ran for 181 yards on 18 carries.
