MARTIN, Tenn. — Jalen Mitchell had 62 yards rushing, including a 15-yard touchdown to open the scoring, on 11 carries, Dom LeBlanc kicked a 24-yard field goal and Tennessee Tech held on to beat UT Martin, ranked No. 19 in the FCS coaches poll, 10-9. Tennessee Tech (6-5, 5-2 Big South-OVC) moved into a four-way tie with Southeast Missouri State, Tennessee State and UT Martin (7-4, 5-2) atop the conference standings. Cam Robertson returned a blocked punt 40 yards for a touchdown to cut UT Martin's deficit to 10-7 with 8:07 to play and, after Cayman Spaulding sacked Dent for a 3-yard loss on third-and-goal from the 7, Jaren Van Winkle missed a potential tying 28-yard field-goal attempt that bounced off the right upright with 30 seconds remaining.
