ESPN RECAPGabalis throws 3 TD passes, Britten scores three TDs as Tarleton State storms past McNeese, 52-34
LAKE CHARLES, La. -- , Victor Gabalis threw three touchdown passes and Kayvon Britten ran for two and pulled in a pass for a third as Tarleton State scored 35 straight points during a second-half run that carried the Texans to a 52-34 win over McNeese in a season-opening contest on Saturday night. Nate Glantz capped a 75-yard, 12-play drive to open the second half that gave McNeese a 24-17 lead, but the Cowboys were stampeded by five straight Tarleton State touchdowns. Gabalis started the run by hitting Dejuan Miller with a 62-yard touchdown that tied the game at 24-24. Derrel Kelley III capped an 11-play, 64-yard drive by scoring from the 9 to give the Texans the lead for good. Gabalis and Britten combined on a 16-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter and Britten followed it with a 3-yard run to cap a 72-yard drive.
