NACOGDOCHES, Texas (AP) – Trae Self pitched for two touchdowns and Stephen F. Austin’s defense produced two touchdowns and the Lumberjacks dismantled Mississippi Valley State 58-13 on Saturday.
After forcing the Delta Devils three-and-out on the opening disc, Self threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Gipson to end a five-play, 66-yard drive.
Gipson finished with 131 yards on three receptions and two scores.
On Mississippi State’s next drive, Jeremiah Walker intercepted Conor Regan in third and nine and sent him back 40 yards for a score and a 14-0 lead.
The Delta Devils followed that mistake with another when Amad Murray forced a fumble on Dederrian Williams who was picked up by Chance Hill from Stephen F. Austin (2-1). Chris Campos then had a 46-yard field goal for the Lumberjacks.
Myles Brooks then knocked out Regan and returned him 14 yards for a 24-3 advantage en route to a 38-13 halftime lead.
Caleb Johnson ran 89 yards on 22 carries with one touchdown for the Delta Devils (0-2).
