Louisiana Tech pulls away for 41-17 rout of Troy

Troy Trojans, Ala. (AP) Marcus Calwise Jr. caught nine passes for 137 yards and a touchdown and Alonzo Jackson Jr. had a 66-yard scoop-and-score with 1:05 to go to cap off Louisiana Tech Bulldogs's 41-17 rout of Troy on Saturday.

The Bulldogs (7-2, 5-0 Sun Belt Conference) scored on each of their first three drives and four of their first five for a 20-10 halftime lead.

Kaegan Kent made field goals of 28 and 45 yards, Calwise had a 28-yard receiving score, and Sergio Snider punched it in from the 7 to pull away.

The Bulldogs held Troy (4-5, 2-3) to just seven points the rest of the way and forced three turnovers, including a strip-sack by Kolbe Fields that led to Jackson's fumble recovery touchdown.

Troy pulled within three points early in the third quarter following a strip-sack of Blake Baker that was recovered in the end zone.

Jackson paced the defense with 11 total tackles, two sacks, and 2 1/2 tackles for a loss.

Baker and Trey Kukuk split time at quarterback, each throwing for one touchdown.

Tucker Kilcrease threw for 215 yards for Troy. He lost two of Troy's five fumbles.

Louisiana Tech: hosts Southern Miss next Saturday.

Troy: at South Alabama next Saturday.
