Casey Therriault threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for another score, as Jackson State used a big second half to pull away from Arkansas-Pine Bluff and claim a 48-10 victory on Saturday.
Therriault completed 17 of 22 passes for 263 yards. He threw a 77-yard touchdown pass to Rico Richardson in the first quarter and a 45-yarder to Richardson in the second, but Jackson State led just 14-10 at halftime.
Early in the third quarter, Arlane McCree returned a blocked punt for a touchdown and the Tigers started rolling. B.J. Lee scored on an 8-yard run with 5 1/2 minutes to go in the quarter and JSU tacked on three more scores in the fourth to turn the game into a rout.
Richardson finished with five receptions for 174 yards for Jackson State, and Tommy Gooden rushed for 107 yards on only 12 carries.
