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's 41-17 rout of Troy on Saturday.
Marcus Calwise Jr. led the offense for Louisiana Tech, contributing 137 yards and a touchdown on nine receptions, while Alonzo Jackson Jr. sealed the victory with a crucial 66-yard scoop-and-score with just 1:05 remaining. The Bulldogs (7-2, 5-0 Sun Belt Conference) dominated the game, scoring on each of their first three drives and four of their first five possessions, leading 20-10 at halftime.
Kaegan Kent provided two field goals, 28 and 45 yards, respectively, and Calwise added a 28-yard receiving touchdown. Sergio Snider sealed the win with a 7-yard scoring run. The Bulldogs stifled Troy (4-5, 2-3) to just seven points in the second half and forced three turnovers, including a critical strip-sack by Kolbe Fields that led to Jackson's game-winning fumble recovery touchdown.
Troy managed to get within three points with a strip-sack of Blake Baker that resulted in a touchdown, but Jackson kept his cool, recording 11 total tackles, two sacks, and 2 1/2 tackles for a loss. Quarterback Trey Kukuk and Blake Baker took turns under center, each throwing for a touchdown. Troy's Tucker Kilcrease completed 215 yards, but he was responsible for two of Troy's five fumbles.
As the season progresses, Louisiana Tech will face Southern Miss next Saturday, while Troy will travel to play South Alabama the following week.
