SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Three Jalen Hamler touchdown passes in the second quarter sparked an explosion of scoring as Cal Poly defeated San Diego 52-34 in a season opener Saturday.
Hamler accounted for five of Cal Poly's seven touchdowns, passing for 221 yards and running for 96. His 55-yard touchdown pass to J.J. Koski early in the second quarter broke a 14-14 tie and ignited a run of 38 unanswered points.
Hamler threw scoring passes to Quentin Harrison and Koski again before halftime. In the third quarter he ran for a 38-yard TD. Duy Tran-Sampson scored on a 34-yard run, following an earlier 87-yard TD, and led all rushers with 172 yards on 15 carries.
Cal Poly led 52-14 by late in the third.
Reid Sinnett threw for 416 yards and four touchdowns -- three in the final 17 minutes -- as San Diego whittled down Cal Poly's lead. Sinnett was also picked off three times.
