ATHENS, West Virginia -- It did not take long for this year's Yellow Jacket football team to show host Concord that scheduling them for a Homecoming opponent might not have been a very good idea.The Jackets' Dionta Brown took the opening kickoff and ran it back to the WVSU 25.
Senior quarterback Matt Kinnick hit Quinton Gray for a quick seven yards, Brown ran for seven, and then Kinnick connected with Tyrell Henderson on a 1-yard scoring strike to put the Jackets ahead 7-0 just one minute and one second into the game.
The Yellow Jackets never let up on the way to 33-7 halftime lead and 47-29 victory to improve to 4-3 on the season.
The WVSU offense displayed the best balance it has this year picking up 258 yards through the air and 255 on the ground.
Especially impressive was that the ground game with WVSU rushing leader Calil Wilkins.
Wilkins, who is averaging 120 yards a game, twisted an ankle in the previous contest and is listed as day to day.
Juawan Etheredge ran 17 times for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Brown carried the ball 11 times for 88 yards and a score while Kinnick had 67 yards on just seven runs.
Kinnick was 19-28 throwing for 231 yards. He also caught a 27 yard touchdown pass on s trick play from backup quarterback Austin Hensley for WVSU'S second score of the game.
