Sunday news

Here's what's online today after Saturday's action:

No close calls, no late letdowns for Austin Peay State this time, according to the (Clarksville, Tenn.) Leaf Chronicle. The Govs crusied to a 49-10 win over Charleston (W. Va.), finally looking like the higher power they're supposed to be against a Division II team. The Govs piled up 521 yards of offense, including 308 through the air from quarterback Mike Cunningham. (backup Gary Orr also threw one pass, a 44-yard touchdown srike for the game's final score). CUnningham was 26 of 34, with two TDs and none picked off. Runningback Chris Fletcher compiled 115 yards and two TDs of his own. APSU had four receivers with better than 40 yards, led by Lanis Frederick's 102 yards on six catches, with one touchdown.

The Anniston (Ala.) Star (soryy, subscribers only) says Jacksonville State's offense didn't show up until the second half against Tennessee Tech on Saturday. It's appropriate, then, that the defense were the last Gamecocks on the field in overtime, keeping the Golden Eagles from getting close to a first down on their possession. JSU quarterback Matt Hardin led the offensive wake-up. The Star says the junior twice scrambled from the pocket on third down to move the chains, something not reflected in his minus-10-yards rushing for the game. Hardin finished 13-od-22 for 164 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions.

Quarterback Antonio Heffner laft the game with a shoulder injury after a fourth-quarter sack Saturday, but is expected to play this week for Tennessee State, according to The (Nashville) Tennessean. Heffner ran three touchdowns in in TSU's 29-7 win over Samford. The paper also says the Tigers's defense has surpassed its 2005 interception total with three games left to play. Nikkieda Rutland grabbed a Dante Williams pass in the second quarter for TSU's twelfth pick of the season.

The Jackson (Tenn.) Sun finally catches onto the story in Martin, though they didn't send their own reporter to cover #12 UT-Martin's 15-9 victory over #14 Eastern Illinois Saturday. In a story written by a "special to The Jackson Sun" writer, the paper says they key play was the Skyhawks D's stop of EIU on fourth down at midfield with 1:39 to play. UTM ran out the clock for the win.
