College Football:
The Mt. SAC football program enters its bye week about as strong as one could hope to be.
After a 48-7 thumping of visiting Allan Hancock, the Mounties are 5-0, and ranked third in the state.
And they’ve defeated LA Valley, Saddleback, SBVC, Bakersfield and Allan Hancock by a combined margin of 221-48.
The Mounties and Bulldogs were tied at 7-7 in the first quarter, but MSAC would outscore Allan Hancock, 41-0, the rest of the way.
The stat of the night had to be the disparity in first downs.
Mt. SAC had 39 to just three for Allan Hancock.
Ike Udengwu III picked apart the Bulldogs’ defense.
He completed 20-of-25 for 261 yards, including four TD’s.
Udengwu threw one pick.
Udengwu’s first TD pass was a 25-yard strike to Adrion Boyd, which gave Mt. SAC a 14-7 lead with 13:44 to play in the first half.
He also connected with Genuine Potts (23-yard TD), Lucas Stone (15) and Jaden Allen (26) on TD passes.
Mohamed Nyangamukenga opened and closed the scoring for Mt. SAC.
His 6-yard TD run in the first quarter got MSAC on the board.
And Nyangamukenga ended the night with a 12-yard TD run at the midway part of the fourth period.
Nyangamukenga had a game-high 79 yards rushing on 11 carries.
Isaiah Dickerson had eight rushes for 70 yards, and Udengwu carried the ball seven times for 67 yards.
Boyd finished with six catches for 86 yards.
Allen caught four passes for 68 yards, and Cade Cadam tallied four receptions for 42 yards.
Mt. SAC had a 638-104 advantage in total offense.
The Bulldogs’ Logan Mortensen went 7-of-18 for 66 yards, no TD’s and he was picked once by Mason White.
You know it’s not going to be a favorable outcome when one’s leading rusher (John Allen) had 16 yards on three carries.
Katin Suprenant had a team-high five tackles for MSAC.
Up next: Mt. SAC heads into its bye week, and then the Mounties host El Camino on Saturday, October 15th.
The kickoff is slated for 6.
