CULLOWHEE, N.C. (AP) Taron Dickens threw for two touchdowns and Western Carolina Catamounts scored 35 points in the second quarter on its way to beating VMI Keydets 58-28 on Saturday.
The Catamounts (6-5, 5-2 Southern Conference) trailed 7-6 when they scored five second-quarter touchdowns, one coming shortly after a fumble recovery on a kickoff and another on Ken Moore Jr.'s 34-yard pick-6.
VMI got within 44-21 after JoJo Crump's 40-yard TD pass to Destin Moore but the Catamounts responded with a pair of scores, including Patrick Boyd Jr.'s 28-yard run to restore a 37-point margin.
Dickens was 30 of 37 for 294 yards passing.
Hunter Rice rushed for 109 yards and two scores for the Keydets (1-10, 1-6). Crump threw for 138 yards. Fellow VMI quarterback Chandler Wilson was intercepted three times.
