MARTIN, Tenn. -- Jarod Neal threw a pair of touchdown passes to Rod Wright to help UT Martin beat Tennessee State 28-14 Saturday.
Neal completed 16 of 27 for 195 yards and Wright had five receptions for 65 yards. Trent Garland rushed for 83 yards and a score on 20 carries for UT Martin (2-2, 2-1 Ohio Valley).

UT Martin opened the third quarter with a 14-play, 66-yard drive that was capped by Garland's 2-yard touchdown and led the rest of the way.
