Bauman also scored on a 3-yard run for the Lumberjacks (3-1), finishing with 109 yards rushing, while Herrick completed 23 of 35 passes for 244 yards.

Austin Minefee had 140 yards rushing and two touchdowns for Southern Utah (1-4). Brad Sorensen was 13 of 27 for 154 yards - his lowest passing total of the season.
