Junior receiver Micah Threatt hauled in seven passes for 181 yards and a TD while sophomore Steven Bobo added a 66 yard TD catch.
Sophomore running back Rocky Chandler rushed for two touchdowns and collected 96 yards on the ground on four carries while freshman Robert Lentz added 77 yards on a dozen touches with a TD.
