Murray, Ky. – The No. 4 Youngstown State football team cruised to a 62-35 win over Murray State on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Roy Stewart Stadium.
QB Beau Brungard added to his Penguins lore setting school records for most passing yards (423) and consecutive completions (22) on the afternoon. For the game, Brungard completed 31-of-34 passes for 423 yards and four touchdowns. As a team, the Guins threw for 435 yards in the contest.
With the victory, the Penguins improves to 8-2 overall and 6-1 in MVFC. YSU set a school record with six straight MVFC wins. MSU drops to 1-9 and 0-6.
YSU scored on every offensive possession against the Racers in a game that was tied 7-7 in the first quarter.
The Penguins took a 7-0 lead when Brungard found Max Welter on a 10-yard score. Four plays, later, the Racers tied the contest, but from that point, it was all YSU.
Antuan Gardner scored the first of his two rushing TDs from nine yards out to make it 14-7 at the end of one. In the second quarter, Brungard threw touchdown passes to three different receivers. He found Bryan Hunt for 19 yards, Fresh Walters for 28 yards and then Lynn Wyche-El for 28 yards.
It was the 11th receiving touchdown of the year for Wyche-El and marks the 10th consecutive game he has scored at least one touchdown. Wyche-El ended with 145 yards on 10 catches. It was his fourth straight 100-yard game and school-record-tying sixth 100-yard performance of the season.
Leading 35-7, YSU opened the second half with another score as Gardner punched it in from two yards out. After that, the teams traded touchdowns the rest of the contest.
Jaden Gilbert added the next two scores for the Penguins on short two and one yard runs. YSU wrapped up the scoring onslaught with a seven-yard pass from Malachi Lewis to Walters.
For the game, YSU finished with 589 yards of total offense and did not punt while scoring nine touchdowns. Five of the nine drives were 70-plus yards and the Guins went 7-of-7 in the red zone.
The Penguins close out the regular season at home next Saturday against Illinois State at Stambaugh Stadium. Kickoff is set for noon.
