HOW IT HAPPENED

First Quarter: Jamestown found the end zone on its first two possessions of the game. After forcing the Lancers to go three-and-out on the opening drive, the Jimmies took advantage of a five-yard punt and began their drive at the Mount Marty 29-yard line. Eight plays later, Cade Torgerson (JR/Billings, Mont.) tossed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Steve Justice (SO/Henderson, Nev.), and the Noah Vogelpohl (FR/Dayton, Minn.) extra point made it 7-0. Another Mount Marty three-and-out resulted in a 10-play, 67-yard drive capped off by a two-yard Torgerson touchdown run. Vogelpohl converted the extra point to make it 14-0 with 5:45 in the quarter. The Lancers’ final drive of the quarter resulted in a 42-yard missed field goal attempt.

Second Quarter: The UJ defense held Mount Marty to 44 yards of total offense in the second quarter, forcing punts on four drives. After a fast start in the first fifteen minutes, Jamestown had two drives end in a punt and another with a missed field goal. With 2:25 before halftime, Chris Sayler (SO/Jamestown, N.D.) plunged in from one yard out with the third Jimmie touchdown of the day. Vogelpohl’s convert extended the lead to 21-0. A quick three-and-out that took just 1:19 off the clock gave Jamestown another chance to add to their lead. Torgerson connected with Micah Madyun (FR/Ramsey, Minn.) on passes of 27 and 32 yards to put the Jimmies in the red zone. A five-yard scramble by Torgerson took the ball down to the Mount Marty 14, then one play later Torgerson connected with Justice on a 14-yard scoring pass with five seconds in the half. Once again Vogelpohol made the extra point to make it 28-0.

Third Quarter: Mount Marty found the end zone for the first time in program history on a six-yard William Rauch run. The drive lasted 14 plays and covered 62 yards while chewing 6:45 off the clock. Both teams traded punts to end the third quarter.

Fourth Quarter: UJ’s final scoring drive went 11 plays and 44 yards as Torgerson threw his third touchdown pass of the afternoon, a one-yarder to Madyun. The extra point by Vogelpohl made it 35-6 with 10:42 left in the game. The ensuing Lancer drive was its second largest gaining of the game, going 59 yards on 10 plays before stalling out on downs at the Jimmie 22.
