Leatherwood, Holloway and Flowers lift Tennessee Tech past The Citadel 28-13
Leatherwood completed 20 of 25 passes for 240 yards as Tennessee Tech overcame two first-half fumbles and limited The Citadel to 190 yards.
On Saturday, Tennessee Tech defeated The Citadel 28-13 behind quarterback Jax Leatherwood's two touchdown passes to Tre Holloway and running back M.J. Flowers' two rushing touchdowns.
The matchup was only the second meeting between the schools since the 1960 Tangerine Bowl, won by the Citadel 27-0, with Tennessee Tech ranked in the Stats Perform Football Championship Subdivision poll.
Leatherwood completed 20 of 25 passes for 240 yards, while Holloway recorded five receptions for 128 yards and Flowers gained 124 yards on 19 carries, powering the Golden Eagles' offense.
The Citadel was limited to 190 total yards of offense, with the Bulldogs' only touchdown coming on a 78-yard fumble return by JJ Fludd while kicker Evan Kiely added two field goals.
Tennessee Tech travels to ETSU next Saturday while The Citadel faces Mercer, both teams continuing their Southern Conference schedules as the season enters its final weeks.
