CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --- Chris Parson threw three touchdown passes, two of

Parson to help Austin Peay take a 49-7 lead into halftime.
Kaden Williams carried the ball just twice and turned them into 80- and 40-yard
touchdowns. Matthew Wilson totaled 103 yards on five rushes as the Governors
piled up 376 yards on the ground.
David Parsons threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Riley Purcell at the end of an
11-play, 75-yard drive on the game's opening possession and the Eagles (1-2)
grabbed a 7-0 lead before being steamrolled.

for 60 yards on the Eagles' first possession.
