MARTIN, Tenn. (AP) — Jarod Neal threw three touchdowns on 245 yards passing and added a rushing touchdown as Tennessee-Martin pulled away from Murray State in a 45-17 win on Saturday.
The Skyhawks (6-3, 4-2 Ohio Valley Conference) scored four unanswered touchdowns to break a halftime tie and secure the win.
The Racers (5-4, 3-2) scored first when T-Ray Malone recovered an errant pitch in the end zone and a 26-yard touchdown run from Jaamal Berry gave Murray State a 14-0 first-quarter lead.
But Tennessee-Martin outscored Murray State 17-3 in the second quarter, highlighted by a rushing touchdown from DJ McNeil and a 21-yard touchdown pass from Neal to Jeremy Butler.
