MARTIN, Tenn. (AP) -Derek White ran for 115 yards – topping the 100-yard mark for the fourth straight game – to help Tennessee Tech beat Tennessee-Martin 13-10 Thursday night.
It was the Golden Eagles’ (4-1, 2-1 Ohio Valley Conference) fourth consecutive win since a season-opening loss to 20th-ranked Eastern Illinois.
Josh Lowery, subbing for injured starter Les Sweeney, threw for 133 yards and Tech’s only touchdown, a 5-yard pass to Matt Solima on the next-to-last play of the first half to forge a 10-all tie with the Skyhawks (0-5, 0-2).
The Golden Eagles then took the third quarter kickoff and drove deep into Tennessee-Martin territory before settling for a 34-yard field goal by Justin Kraemer that gave them the lead for good.
Tennessee-Martin’s Jesse Burton returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for the Skyhawks’ lone touchdown.
Don Chapman ran for 97 yards to lead Tennessee-Martin.
