ATHERTON -- Menlo College was hoping to get its first win of the season against previously winless Humboldt State. But the Lumberjacks outgained host Menlo 325-244 and held the Oaks scoreless until early in the fourth quarter in a 44-7 victory.

The passing game proved to be Menlo's downfall.

Humboldt State, a NCAA Division II team, produced 235 passing yards. Quarterback Garret Hubrich completed 21 of 31 passes for 221 yards.

The Oaks had only 76 yards passing and were intercepted four times.

Menlo had better success on the ground, rushing for 168 yards. Angel Molina had a game-high 114 yards on 13 carries, averaged 8.6 yards per carry and scored the Oaks' lone touchdown on a 3-yard run with 12:26 left to play.

Menlo (0-4) will play at Whitworth on Saturday in Spokane, Wash.
