COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kekoa Visperas threw for three touchdowns and ran for two scores, Quintell Quinn had 122 yards rushing and two touchdowns, and Tennessee Tech beat Davidson 72-14 on Saturday to start a season 3-0 for the first time since 1977.
Tennessee Tech (3-0), which entered 2-0 for the first time since 2012, extended its FCS-leading win streak to eight straight games. It was the most points scored by the Golden Eagles since scoring 77 against Alabama Normal in 1928.

The Golden Eagles scored on their opening four drives against the Wildcats, started by Quinn’s 41-yard run on their second play from scrimmage. Visperas added a touchdown on a 17-yard run, and he connected with Noah Robinson on a 4-yard score and Brian Courtney for a 31-yard TD.
Tennessee Tech capped its 45-point first half with Theron Gaines’ 60-yard pick-6 with one second left before the break.
Dom LeBlanc made a career-long 47-yard field goal late in the second quarter for a 31-7 lead.
