Jordan Wiggs got the Lumberjacks (1-5, 0-2) on the board first with a 41-yard field goal in the second quarter, but it was all SHSU after that. Bell found Torrance Williams for a 49-yard score before halftime and Keith Blanton for a 55-yarder early in the third quarter before the Bearkats' running game took over.
