Game Week
ALPINE, Texas- Senior quarterback
James Davis (Houston/South) threw for 109 yards and a touchdown and netted 121 yards on the ground to lead Sul Ross (2-1, 1-1) to a 35-7 ASC victory over McMurry University (1-3, 1-2 ASC) at Jackson Field Saturday night.
Davis registered 10 pass completions out of 21 attempts in the victory as Sully gulped up 496 yards of total offense while holding McMurry to 136. The Lobos now sport a three-game winning streak over the War Hawks since McMurry re-entered NCAA Division III competition in 2015.
Sully put the first points on the board in the opening quarter as
Williton Grear (Austin/Del Valle) scampered seven yards into the McMurry end zone finishing off an eight-play, 44-yard drive.
Eli Lopez (Austin/AHS) converted the extra point with 10:20 remaining in the first quarter.
Then, a 52-yard punt return by
Jermaine Stevens, Jr. (Houston/South) paved the way for a 29-yard strike from Davis to
Steven Savedra (El Paso/Del Valle) with just 11 seconds left in the opening period. Lopez nailed the extra point for a 14-0 Sul Ross lead.
A fumble on a Sul Ross punt return allowed the War Hawks to set up shop deep in Lobo territory. Darius Brooks reeled in a four-yard scoring toss from Kevin Hurly after just three plays which covered 16 yards. Tanner Wright's kick pulled the visitors to within seven with 13:43 left until the half. It would mark the final points scored for either team in the second quarter.
Sophomore
Jordan Batson (San Antonio/Wagner) reached pay dirt with 6:08 remaining in the third on a 21-yard touchdown run. Lopez tacked on the extra point.
Jeremy Schilhab (Uhland/Lehman) then capped a 10-play, 71-yard drive with a four-yard trot before Lopez's PAT.
Savedra finished off McMurry with a six-yard touchdown pass from
Paul Rodriguez (Weslaco/WHS). Lopez bingoed on the extra point as the Lobos coasted to the 35-7 ASC win.
Sul Ross will head east for conference play next Saturday at Louisiana College. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
