King rushes for pair of touchdowns in East Tennessee State's 34-14 win over Elon
Elon Phoenix, N.C. (AP) Jaylen King rushed for two touchdowns and East Tennessee State beat Elon 34-14 on Saturday night.
King was 17-of-28 passing for 233 yards and added 93 yards rushing on 11 carries. Bryson Irby added 96 of the Buccaneers' 254 rushing yards. ETSU Buccaneers finished with 489 yards of offense.
ETSU (2-2) raced to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter. The Buccaneers went 75 yards on nine plays and scored on Irby's 4-yard TD run. After recovering a fumble on Elon's first play from scrimmage, King went up the middle for an 8-yard touchdown. King's career-long 51-yard sprint up the middle set up a field goal.
The Buccaneers broke the game open with third-quarter touchdowns runs by King and Khamran Laborn of 10 and 17 yards to go up 31-7.
The Phoenix (2-2) scored on the first play of the second quarter on TJ Thomas' 3-yard run and trailed 17-7 at halftime. They added a second TD on Matthew Downing's 15-yard pass to Chandler Brayboy late in the third quarter.
Downing threw for 129 yards.
