Truman scored six touchdowns and kicked two field goals on its first eight possessions and blitzed Missouri S&T 48-17 at Stokes Stadium on Saturday night. The Miners punted on their first four possessions and Bulldog quarterback Dylan Hair turned that into four first half touchdown passes. He hit Chris Kerr from 15 yards out for the first touchdown. Then, it was three straight TD passes to redshirt freshman Jackson Overton. The second Bulldog score was a seven-yard aerial. This was Overton’s second TD catch….
Brad Boyer with the call on nemopressbox.com. His third was the longest….
Overton was the first Bulldog to have three touchdown receptions since Geoff Jensen versus Missouri Western in 2002. Hair was 12-of-15 for 267 yards and four touchdowns. Denim Cook rushed for a career-high 182 yards and scored a pair of third quarter touchdowns. Vinnie Calvaruso kicked a 20 yard field goal and the halftime score was 31-3. He later added a 42 yard boot. The Bulldogs finished with 559 yards of total offense.
Truman has won three in a row to improve to 3-3 and 2-1 in the GLVC. S&T drops to 2-4 and 1-3 in the league. The Bulldogs will play at Quincy next Saturday facing their former offensive coordinator in Jason Killday.
