Nankil connected with Cole Monach on an 11-yard touchdown in the third, and Adam Criter scored a 6-yard touchdown run at the start of the fourth to make it 28 straight points for the Toreros.
Scheck's led a five-sack performance from the defense as the Flyers (6-3, 4-2) were held to minus-6 yards rushing on 28 attempts.
Drew VanVleet was 18-of-30 passing for 220 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Flyers. Both scores came in the fourth quarter.
