(Bell Gardens) \u2013 Azusa\u00a0Head Coach Joe\u00a0Scherf introduced a new quarterback platoon scheme which resulted in four touchdown passes between quarterbacks Jake Martinez and\u00a0Jose Nunez as the\u00a0Aztecs\u00a0(1-0) opened the 2010 football season with a 48-0 victory over Bell Gardens\u00a0Friday night.<\/p>\n
It should have been apparent after the first play of the game that it would be a long night for Josh Adame of the Lancers (0-1). After the opening kickoff resulted in a touchback, Edwin Garcia stormed through the line and forced Adame to fumble, which was picked up by Nunez, who ran it back for a score 13 seconds into the game. Garcia would play a factor in all of the fumbles throughout the night, including one that he picked up and ran back 40 yards for another touchdown for the in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
It was almost too easy for the Aztecs to score in the first half, as Nunez connected three times in the first half for scores. His first score came with 4:04 left in the quarter as he hit Abe Ochoa for a 13-yard touchdown, increasing the lead to 14-0. Just over a minute later, Nunez helped convert a fumble recovery at the Lancer 26-yard line into a second score, again to Nunez from eight yards out. However, Nunez\u2019 point after attempt failed, giving the Aztecs a 20-0 lead at the end of the quarter.<\/p>\n
In the second, Steven Blount increased the lead with five minutes left in the half as he took a handoff from Martinez and rolled 40-yards for a touchdown. Nunez would throw his third score two minutes later as he found Jesus Arteaga for a nine-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n
Garcia\u2019s fumble recovery in the third put the Aztecs up 41-0 as the Lancers coughed up the ball three times throughout the quarter. Finally Martinez added a seventh score late in the fourth when he found Ed Sosa in the end zone for a 9-yard hit.<\/p>\n
The Aztecs\u00a0will host Ontario\u00a0Christian\u00a0while the Lancers will host the El Rancho Dons\u00a0next Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
