Two scores in opener Chalk IV notched 18 carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 42-24 win over Sacramento State. He also caught his lone target for 17 yards. Impact After a quiet start to the game, Chalk IV salvaged his day with a huge fourth quarter, rushing for a pair of scores including a 22-yard scamper to ice the Spartans' victory. Chalk IV was expected to share running-back duties with Jabari Bates after joining the team as a transfer from Grambling State, where he rushed for 696 yards and nine touchdowns last season. However, Chalk IV wound up out-carrying Bates 18-to-6 in the opener, indicating he's likely the preferred option going forward.
