CULLOWHEE, N.C. (AP) — Josh Perry ran for 157 yards and two touchdowns and Western Carolina pulled a surprise, topping Tennessee Tech 44-20 on Saturday night.
The Golden Eagles entered the game ranked No. 9 in the Stats Perform poll.
The Catamounts (3-3, 1-1 Southern Conference) built a 17-0 advantage and never trailed. Jordan Martin-Durham plunged in from the 1 just before the end of the first quarter for a 10-0 lead. Lex Thomas then threw a 49-yard score to Jai Boyd early in the second.
Jax Leatherwood threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Nunez for the Golden Eagles first score.
After another Bryan McCollum field goal for Western Carolina, Tennessee Tech got within 20-14 when Leatherwood threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Eric Weatherly.
Carter Brown’s 50-yard field goal with five seconds left before halftime reduced Tennessee Tech’s deficit to 20-17 but it was as close as the Golden Eagles could get.
Nunez caught 13 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown for Tennessee Tech (4-1, 2-1).
