What happened

ESPN RECAP

Kaden Anderson's 5 TD passes power Tarleton State to 49-35 win over Central Arkansas

STEPHENVILLE, Texas -- , Kaden Anderson threw a career-high five touchdown passes, Tarleton State dominated the fourth quarter, and the Texans defeated Central Arkansas 49-35 to win their homecoming game on Saturday night with an eye toward the top of the Football Championship Subdivision polls. Tarleton State, ranked No. 2 in the Stats Perform Top 25, is likely headed to the top of the FCS polls after North Dakota defeated No. 1 South Dakota State 21-10 earlier in the day. The score was tied at 28 heading into the fourth quarter before Anderson led touchdown drives of 74, 89 and 99 yards to put the Texans ahead 49-28. In succession, Anderson hit Marquis Willis for an 18-yard touchdown, Anderson connected with B.J. Fleming from 14 yards, and Bryce Green exploded for a 72-yard touchdown run. Anderson completed 21 of 29 passes for 279 yards.
