ESPN RECAPBlackshear and Scianna each have a pick-6 to lead Furman past Tennessee Tech 45-10 in opener
Travis Blackshear returned an interception 43 yards for a touchdown on the fifth play from scrimmage and Dan Scianna had a 67-yard pick-6 in the fourth quarter to help Furman beat Tennessee Tech 45-10 Thursday night in the season opener for both teams. Dominic Roberto scored on a pair of 9-yard runs for Furman. Kyndel Dean added five receptions for 56 yards and scored on an end around from the 6 midway through the second quarter. Jayquan Smith 's 6-yard TD run capped the scoring with 2:41 to play. The Paladins defense , which led the FCS in takeaways (29) and interceptions (18) last season , forced six Tennessee Tech turnovers (four interceptions and two fumble recoveries) and got a fourth-down stop in its own territory late in the third quarter with a 24-10 lead.
