COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Michael Birdsong passed for a career-high 327 yards and accounted for four touchdowns to help Tennessee Tech beat Eastern Kentucky 33-30 in overtime on Saturday night. Birdsong was 27-of-42 passing with three touchdowns and added a 1-yard rushing score. Dontez Byrd had seven receptions for 116 yards and two TDs -- all career bests. Trailing 30-27 in overtime, Birdsong scrambled 10 yards to the 15 where he stepped out of bounds. A personal foul for a late hit gave Tennessee Tech (2-3, 2-1 Ohio Valley) first-and-goal at the 7. After his 3-yard run, Birdsong hit Alex Carling on a play-action pass for a 4-yard touchdown. Bennie Coney threw for a school-record 464 yards and three touchdowns -- including a 25-yarder to Dan Crimmins with 1:06 left in regulation that made it 27-all -- for Eastern Kentucky (1-3, 0-1).
