HALFTIME: Tech 24, San Jose State 6...

... and the good folk in the Aillet Stadium press box just popped a brand new thing of popcorn and it is smellin' RIGHT and it will be a few minutes before i update this again. When I do, be careful reading it: it'll be a little oily...

Tech leads 24-6 ...

...after a 20-yard field goal with 4:15 to play.

Tech has had four plays of 46 yards or more. All have led to scores.

SJSU just doubled its season total for fumbles lost...

SJSU had lost just one fumble -- one -- coming into the game.

Receiver Kevin Jurovich just doubled the total, and Tech took over at its own 40. Tech still leads 21-6, with 7:05 left in the half...

I have not gotten another banana pudding yet, but that doesn't mean i haven't thought about it. . .

AND, on a 3rd-and-20, Champion chunks short to Livas who finds a crease and rolls to the 2.......

Oh, I forgot about the ULM thing...

A loyal Louisiana Tech-er in the press box said they were happy for the ULM victory over Alabama today but that "hey, we've done it twice."

Tech beat Bama in both 1997 and 1999.

21-6 Tech leads San Jose State at the end of the initial stanza...SJS just converted a third-and-1 and have a first down at their own 41.

Tech still leads...ULM still beat 'Bama...

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.

7-3 Tech with 9 minutes left in first quarter

Tech fumbled it's opening snap and the Spartans recovered, leading to a 28-yard field goal. Not a good way to start Senior Night. A fumbled snap from a freshman center to a senior quarterback -- is that senior moment?

Tech answers with a 3-yard TD pass that caps an 8-play, 72-yard drive to take a 7-3 lead.

I'm on my second banana pudding. seriously, i just don't care anymore...

Spartans just completed a pretty 25-yard pass to the Tech 45...

Senior Night ...

Tech is open next week and closes its regular season at Nevada, so tonight's tilt is the final home game for 17 seniors. They're being introduced now.

Tech will wear its blue jerseys, white pants, red helmets. SJSU is in yellow pants, white jerseys with bluenumbers, and blue helmets. The Spartans are 1-5 on the road this season. They beat hapless Utah State but of the five losses, each was by at least 20 points, and three were by more than 30.
