NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Grant Jordan threw for one score, ran for another and Da’Quan Gonzales returned an interception 53 yards for a touchdown to lead Yale to a 38-23 win over Lehigh on Saturday.
Jordan was 15-of-26 passing for 107 yards and an interception and Tre Peterson rushed for 98 yards with a 57-yard burst up the middle for a score that made it 38-17 in the last minute of the third quarter. The Bulldogs (3-2) had 258 yards on the ground.
After Lehigh a field goal on the game-opening drive, Aidan Singleton picked off Grant near midfield on Yale’s first snap. Grant responded with a 20-yard pass to Joey Felton and then Gonzales jumped an out route and raced down the left sideline for a 14-3 lead after one quarter.
After Luke Yoder scored on a 38-yard run, Grant had a 10-yard touchdown run and Josh Pitsenberger scored on a fourth-down 1-yard plunge with five seconds left in the half for a 28-10 lead.
Yoder ran for 143 yards for the Mountain Hawks (3-3) but two quarterbacks combined to go 14 of 29 with three picks, two made by Joshua Tarver.
