Tigers Cap Off Homecoming With 28-10 Win

TSU returned to the winner's column as they knocked off Virginia University of Lynchburg 28-10 Saturday inside Durley Stadium for Homecoming.
 
Texas Southern received the toss and wasted no time as Quintell Quinn rushed for 39 yards on the opening drive as he scored from 10 yards out en route to a 7-0 lead after Gustavo Romero's PAT. TSU's X'Avier Allen blocked a punt following the first offensive possession by Virginia-Lynchburg and scored a touchdown for a 14-0 lead.
 
The scoring would cease until late in the second quarter but TSU found its way back to the scoreboard as Athean Renfro capped off a 10-play, 85-yard drive with a two-yard run up the middle for a 21-0 lead following the PAT.
 
The TSU defense opened the second half with an interception by Josiah Hardman but he fumbled on the tackle and Lynchburg's Ryan Sims picked up the fumble and recorded a 60-yard fumble return to cut the deficit to 21-7 after the PAT. TSU would get back on the scoreboard late in the third quarter as the defense stuffed Lynchburg on a 4^th-and-1. Four plays later, Quinn rushed in from three yards out as TSU moved ahead 28-7.
 
The Dragons would add a field goal late to cease the scoring for both teams.
 
Quinn rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries while Jordan Davis passed for 113 yards and rushed for 47. Javius Williams led TSU with seven tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss while MJ Hinson and Hardman had interceptions.
 
TSU is back in action next Saturday at 6 p.m. against Southern at Shell Energy Stadium.
