CHARLESTON, Ill. (AP) Isaiah Johnson ran for 187 yards and three touchdowns and Eastern Illinois Panthers jumped out to a big lead early and coasted to a 52-21 victory over Austin Peay Governors on Saturday.
The Panthers (3-7, 3-4 Ohio Valley Conference) took a 14-0 first-quarter lead on TD runs of 10 and 20 yards by Johnson. Johnathan Brantley took over in the second quarter - scoring twice on 11-yard runs and adding a 38-yard TD strike to Alexander Hollins - to push the lead to 35-0.
