11/23/19 - Joe Alessi, Sr/2020, Youngstown State, 5-10, 190 (DS#999 WR) + More +

Joe Alessi ran for 103 yards and the Youngstown State defense shut down Illinois State for a 21-3 upset over the FCS seventh-ranked Redbirds on Saturday. Penguins coach Bo Pelini earned his 100th career win, including 67 at Nebraska. Braxton Chapman and Joe Craycraft completed 12-play drives with short touchdown runs and Zaire Jones returned an interception for 30 yards and a score for the Penguins (6-6, 2-6), who snapped a three-game losing streak in their season finale and perhaps ensured that the Redbirds (8-4, 5-3) will not receive a first-round bye for the playoffs.

Both teams committed three turnovers, but Illinois State managed only 142 yards total offense and were 0 for 12 on third-down conversions. Two Redbirds quarterbacks were 3-of-16 passing for 30 yards. The Penguins had only 83 yards passing but 187 on the ground. On the final play of the game, Youngstown senior quarterback Nate Mays, who was knocked out for the season against North Dakota State on Nov. 2 with a leg injury, was helped out onto the field to take the snap and take a knee. - AP College Football

Nathan Mays completed just 10 passes but four of them went for touchdowns and Joe Alessi ran for 156 yards and two scores as Youngstown State roughed up Western Illinois 59-14 on Saturday. Alessi raced 44 yards for a score to give the Penguins (5-3, 1/3 Missouri Valley Football Conference) a 7-0 lead just 1:10 into the game. The Leathernecks (0-8, 0-4) knotted the score at 7 on their first possession when Connor Sampson hit Clint Ratkovich for a 33-yard TD. Alessi scored on a 56-yard run to give Youngstown State the lead and Jermiah Braswell caught a 40-yard scoring strike from Mays and a 54-yarder from backup QB Joe Craycraft to put the Penguins up 28-7 after one quarter.

Mays sandwiched a pair of TD passes -- a 1-yarder to Christian Turner and a 39-yarder to Kendric Mallory -- around a Colten McFadden field goal for a 45-7 halftime lead.

Zaythan Hill ran nine yards for the game-winning touchdown in the final minute to give Lehigh a second-straight win and hand Colgate a sixth-straight loss, 21-14 in the Patriot League opener Saturday afternoon. Lehigh entered the game ranked 15th nationally at stopping the run, allowing an average of 90.2 yards per game. The Mountain Hawks held the Raiders to just nine net yards on the ground. Colgate scored its first touchdown on a fumble recovery in the end zone by Prince Ekwughalu. Malik Twyman carried three straight times from the Lehigh 14 to give Colgate a 14-7 lead in the second quarter.

Tyler Monaco was 16 of 28 for 231 yards passing and a 19-yard touchdown to Nate Hope to start the second quarter. Monaco scored from a yard out to tie game just before intermission. Neither team scored in the second half until Hill punched through with :33 left in the game.

The Mountain Hawks (2-3, 0-1) opened the season with losses to Saint Francis, No. 24 Villanova and No. 4 UC Davis before breaking through with a 10-3 win over Merrimack last week. Defending Patriot League champion Colgate (0-6, 0-1) opened the season with losses to Villanova, William & Mary, No. 22 Maine, Air Force and Dartmouth.

Joe Alessi had a 43-yard touchdown run and finished with 146 yards on 14 carries and Nathan Mays threw a TD pass and ran for two scores to propel Youngstown State to a 45-10 victory over Robert Morris on Saturday. Robert Morris took a 7-0 lead on its second possession of the game, marching 97 yards in six plays. Alijah Jackson did most of the damage for the Colonials (1-4). He picked up a first down with a 12-yard run on third-and-10. Jackson ran for 80 yards on the next play, setting up George Martin's 4-yard TD toss to Terence Stephens Jr. But it was all Youngstown State after that. Mays ended an eight-play, 80-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run to knot the score at 7 at the end of the first quarter.

The Penguins (4-0), ranked 20th in the FCS coaches' poll, took the lead for good on Mays' 24-yard scoring strike to Jermiah Braswell with 10:59 left before halftime. After forcing a three-and-out, Alessi had his long TD run on the Penguins' first play and after another three-and-out Jake Coates returned a punt 63 yards for a score.
