It wasn't pretty but Mustangs win opener.
Posted: Sep 5, 2010 12:01 AM by Bill Halter
After a poor first half the Cal Poly football team dominated the 2nd half to beat Humboldt State 23-17 in the opener for both teams. Humboldt State is a division two team.
Quarterback Tony Smith connected on 6 of 12 passes for 39 yards
and a touchdown but it was his 48-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter that put the Mustangs on top for good.
Slotback Mark Rodgers ran for 106 yards and a touchdown
on 14-carries and pulled down Smith's scoring pass in the second quarter.
The Lumberjacks were up 17-7 at halftime thanks to an
8-yard pass from Mike Proulx to Dirk Dallas late in the first quarter, a 40-yard field goal by Matt Bruder in the second and a 29-yard fumble recovery and run by Jonathan Faraimo just before the break.
After coming back in the second half, the Mustangs topped of
f their victory with a safety by James Chen with about eight minutes left.
Cal Poly is home again next week against 2nd ranked Montana. KSBY will recap the Humboldt State game and look ahead to Montana on "Mustang Stampede." Coach Walsh will be in for the show that airs during sports in the 10:00 news on the CW5 and the 11:00 news on KSBY.
