JAMESTOWN, N.D. (jimmiepride.com) – The Hastings (Neb.) Broncos scored three third-quarter touchdowns, building on a 6-0 halftime lead in a 34-7 defeat over the University of Jamestown football team Saturday afternoon.

The Broncos were held to two field goals in the first half, and were kept out of the end zone on the game’s opening drive by a big fourth-down stand by the Jimmie defense.

Two Jimmie drives were halted by interceptions, a 13-play, 76-yard drive and another of 11 plays and 42 yards.

John Zamora connected with Tyree Nesmith for a 60-yard touchdown catch and run to make it 13-0 with 8:29 in the third.

Zamora tossed two more touchdowns in the quarter, a 20-yard pass to John Austin and an 11-yard pass to Sam Marsh as the lead grew to 27-0.

Cade Torgerson (JR/Billings, Mont.) got the Jimmies on the board with a 28-yard keeper just 27 seconds into the fourth.

Nesmith scored his second big-play touchdown of the contest with 8:36 remaining, finding the end zone on a 67-yard rush. He finished with 237 yards rushing on 25 carries.

Torgerson ran for 80 yards on 15 carries to lead the Jimmies. He also completed 13 of 38 passes for 133 yards on a windy day at Rollie Greeno Field. Marcus Giles (JR/Coon Rapids, Minn.) had four catches for 36 yards.

Manuel Najera (SR/Los Angeles, Calif.) (11 tackles, four solo) and Brooks Canfield (SO/Tempe, Ariz.) (10 tackles, seven solo) led the defense. Paul Vandal (SO/Jamestown, N.D.) registered UJ’s only sack of the game and Ross Monson (SR/Jamestown, N.D.) was credited with a pass breakup.
