FAIRMONT, W.Va. -- After trading scores early in the game, Fairmont State scored 41 unanswered points to rout Urbana, 48-14, on Homecoming Saturday at Duvall-Rosier Field.
 
With the win, the Falcons improve 5-0 overall and 4-0 in the Mountain East Conference. Urbana slips to 1-4 both overall and in the MEC.
 
Senior quarterback Cooper Hibbs finished the afternoon by going 22-of-37 for 240 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. Backup quarterback Takwan Crews-Naylor also threw his first-career touchdown pass in the fourth quarter; competing 2-of-3 passes for 69 yards and a score.
 
Laurence King nearly missed the century mark to lead all FSU receivers, totaling nine catches for 94 yards and a touchdown on the afternoon. King also recorded a 53-yard punt return in the second quarter. Senior receiver Fabian Guerra also hauled in six receptions for 76 yards and a score. Guerra, who is third in school history in both receptions and receiving yards, now needs just two catches and 158 yards to move into second in school history in both categories.
 
James Oliver led the FSU ground attack with 127 yards on 17 carries, with a majority of those yards coming on a 61-yard touchdown run with 1:13 remaining in the third quarter. Rakeem Darden also crossed the goal line for the second-straight game, totaling 35 yards on six carries and scoring a touchdown.

The FSU offense rolled up 533 yards of total offense in the victory, including 309 yards through the air.
 
After giving up touchdowns on the first two Urbana possessions of the game, the FSU defense tightened-up, allowing just 197 yards and intercepting three passes the remainder of the game, allowing zero points in the final three quarters of play.
 
Marcus Porter recorded a team-high six tackles in the FSU victory. Demonne Cox, Arnold Roots, Antonio Harris and Stephen Turner each chipped in four tackles apiece. Turner, Emanuel Ivey and Michael Porter each picked-off passes for the FSU defense and Quincy Redmon recorded a sack. Redmon has now recorded a sack in seven of the last eight games.
 
With the score tied at 14-14 early in the second quarter, Hibbs and Guerra gave the Falcons the lead for good on a 13-yard pass-and-catch over the middle. Sam Keil, last week's MEC Player of the Week, also converted on a 29- and 39-yard field goal in the second quarter to send the Falcons to the locker room leading 27-14.
 
With Urbana threatening at the FSU 13 early in the third quarter, Turner picked-off a pass and returned it 85-yards for the score, putting the Falcons in front 34-14 with 11:22 remaining in the third quarter.
 
FSU added to its lead late in the third when Oliver took a handoff 61 yards to put FSU in front by a score of 41-14.
 
FSU added one more score in the fourth when freshman receiver Dana Jackson hauled in a 37-yard touchdown strike from Crews-Naylor, scoring a touchdown on his first-ever collegiate reception.
 
Tajuan Green led Urbana in both passing and rushing, completing 10-of-22 pass attempts for 131 yards and added 42 yards on 10 carries on the ground. Receiver Larry Southall led the Blue Knights with five receptions for 73 yards.
 
Josh Dillard and Duray Hall each racked up double-digit tackles for the Blue Knights, recording 14 and 13, respectively. Dillard also picked off a pass for the Urbana defense.
 
The Falcons will return to action next Saturday when they travel to West Virginia Wesleyan for a 1 p.m. kickoff against the Bobcats.
