CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Richardre Bagley ran for 189 yards and two scores, including a 45-yard game-sealing dash in the 4th quarter, and Chattanooga beat VMI 30-13 on Saturday.

Chattanooga piled up 519 yards of total offense and held the ball for over 37 minutes. Chattanooga led 17-0 at the half, courtesy of two Bennifield scores, one throwing and one rushing. VMI battled back in the third, cutting its deficit to 23-13 after an Al Cobb 79-yard TD strike to Javeon Lara , followed by a Cobb 1-yard touchdown run. But Bagley drove in the final stake, ripping off a 45-yard run on a single-play drive that took just 11 seconds. Cobb threw for 238 yards for VMI (3-4, 1-3). Lara had 79 yards receiving.
