DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — Zach Jones showcased his dual-threat capabilities, returning two punts for touchdowns in a lopsided 45-7 triumph over Stetson on Saturday night.

Jordan Fisher added a 6-yard touchdown run to kick off the scoring, while Cleeland connected for a 46-yard touchdown pass to widen the gap to 14-0 early in the first quarter.
