The second half belonged to ETSU as the Bucs scored three rushing touchdowns - a 1-yard run by Tyler Riddell, a Saylors 1-yard run and a 41-yard burst by Quay Holmes - while holding the Catamounts scoreless. Western Carolina, which had won three consecutive SoCon games for the first time since the 2015 season, was unable to get on track after halftime, ending possessions with two punts, a turnover on downs and an interception. - AP College Football

Holmes, who also had a 1-yard TD run in the first quarter, broke two tackles before crossing the end zone to open the extra period. Donovan Manuel's tackle stopped Samford just short from converting on fourth-and-11 to end the game.

The Buccaneers (4-0, 1-0 Southern Conference), who upset Vanderbilt 23-3 in their opener, are 4-0 for the first time since 1999. Tyler Riddell threw three touchdown passes in the second half, and then added 5-yard touchdown run with 1:59 remaining that gave the Bucs a 45-41 lead. Riddell was 21-of-35 passing for 291 yards.
