Bronco QBs put up big numbers
once again in second fall scrimmage

The Broncos’ second scrimmage of the fall season on Friday night

looked fairly similar to the first scrimmage the week prior. The

bout for the starting role at quarterback remained close as both

Jared Zebransky and Mike Sanford put up similar numbers on the stat

sheet. The Bronco defense was also impressive once again against

the running game.

All six Bronco quarterbacks combined for 450 yards through the air

Friday night. Zebransky lead the way by completing 11-of-16 passes

to total 147 yards with two touchdowns. The first of the two

touchdown passes came on the second possession of the scrimmage

when he connected with Mark Onibokun for a 48-yard score. The other

came in the two-minute drill late in the scrimmage when Zebransky

found junior transfer Josh Smith for the 15-yard td. Sanford

connected on 8-of-13 passes for 101 yards while leading the Broncos

to a field goal in the two-minute drill.

Freshman Taylor Tharpe put up impressive numbers again on

Friday. After completing 6-of-9 throws for 154 yards and two late

touchdowns in the first scrimmage, Tharpe went 3-of-5 for 78 yards

and a touchdown in the second. Sophomore Legadu Naanee was 2-of-6

and 38 yards, freshman Bush Hamdan completed 4-of-5 passes for 23

yards, and freshman walk-on Cade Woolstenhulme finished 2-of-3 for

56 yards to go along with a touchdown and an interception to round

out the quarterback play.

On the receiving end, Onibokun led the team with five catches for

101 yards and a touchdown. Smith added 85 yards and a touchdown

with his four receptions, while true freshman walk-on Vinnie

Perretta pulled down thee passes for 85 yards and two

touchdowns.

After allowing only 74 total rushing yards on 35 carries in

scrimmage number one, the Bronco defense dominated once again

Friday night giving up just 82 yards on 36 carries. Bronco true

freshman Ian Johnson led the team on the ground with 52 yards on

two carries. Junior Jeff Carpenter piled up 30 yards on his six

carries.

On special teams, senior Tyler Jones booted a 53-yard field goal on

the first possession of the scrimmage and a 29-yarder in the

two-minute drill.

The Broncos now have just under two weeks to prepare for the highly

anticipated season opener next Saturday against the Idaho

Vandals.
