NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — AJ Duffy threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns and Jalen Smith ran for 175 yards and two touchdowns as New Haven dismantled Division-III member Western Connecticut State 69-0 on Saturday.

Duffy did his damage completing 15 of 21 and scored two running touchdowns while Smith ran just 12 times for 14.6-yards per carry. Brian Thomas ran for 110 yards on 14 carries and Isaac Glaudin had 106 yards receiving on four receptions with a touchdown.
