Starting quarterback Omar Clayton completed 4 of 7 passes for 73 yards.
“We’ve got a very healthy situation at quarterback in that we have Omar as our No. 1 and in reality Mike Clausen as a 1A,” coach Mike Sanford said. “He’s been very competitive, he’s been very sharp, and we expect him to carry that into the fall.”
