Early in the second quarter, Fells connected with Oric Lewis on a 1-yard TD pass for a 26-0 Tigers lead. The Trojans (1-2) scored their only points just past the midway point of the second quarter on an 11-yard pass from Derick Crosby to Davvenyon Woodside.

Dominique Gaines finished off the scoring for the Tigers with a 21-yard TD run with 7:38 remaining in the game. Gaines ended the game with nine carries for 138 yards.
