CSM sophomore Brent Marin (Aragon) returns one of the Bulldogs’ five interceptions Saturday in a 62-0 win at San Joaquin Delta in the Bay 6 Conference opener.
The College of San Mateo Bulldogs were supposed to win their Bay 6 Conference opener. And win they did, mauling winless San Joaquin Delta 62-0 Saturday in Stockton.
The undefeated Bulldogs (1-0 Bay 6, 6-0 overall) came out throwing haymakers, needing just 10 plays to score their first three touchdowns of the day. CSM gained 533 yards of offense, the team’s highest single-game total since Nov. 18, 2017, against College of the Sequoias, while running up its highest point total since Nov. 4, 2017 against Santa Rosa Junior College.

Delta (0-1, 0-6) was held to 281 yards of offense.
CSM’s rushing game was in fine form. The Bulldogs gained 302 rushing yards, led by a career day from running back Jaeden Barker. The sophomore carried 16 times for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Elijah Twegbe added 14 carries for 65 yards and one touchdown, and Darrell Page had five carries for 33 yards and a second-quarter touchdown.
But it was Luke Bottari who threw the haymakers, delivering three first-quarter scores, connecting for an array of touchdown passes.
