Idowu sparks Tommie jump-start to national championship

St. Thomas got a jump-start when Oshkosh’s Gagliardi Trophy finalist quarterback Nate Wara’s attempt to pitch the ball to running back Cole Myhra was blown up by cornerback Ryan Deitz. The ball rolled on the ground before defensive end Ayo Idowu scooped it up and ran 25 yards into the end zone for his second defensive score of this postseason, putting the Tommies ahead 7-0 just 14 seconds into the game.
