Tech QB Zac Champion connected with Phillip Livas for 66 yards and a touchdown, and a 52-yard punt return by Phillip Beck set up Tech with a first-and-goal at the 9; Champion's third-and-goal from the 6 was complete to Beck, giving Beck the first TD of his college career and a 21-6 lead with 1:06 to play in the first quarter.
Champion has 27 career TD passes now; that ties him in the Tech record book with current Ruston High coach Billy Laird, who coached at both Tech and Northwestern State after his Tech QBing days.
