Chandler Smith's 71-yard punt return highlights Samford's 27-17 win over UT Martin
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) Jay Stanton had 193 yards rushing and a touchdown, Chandler Smith added a 26-yard touchdown grab and a 71-yard punt return for a score less than 80 seconds apart, and Samford beat UT Martin 27-17 on Saturday.
The teams combined for 27 points in the first quarter. Smith's touchdown catch capped a three-play, 52-yard drive with 1:17 left in the quarter and he ended the frame with a long punt return for a 17-10 lead.
Stanton's 61-yard touchdown was the lone score in the third quarter and Wilson Beaverstock made a 40-yard field goal for a 17-point lead early in the fourth.
Samford (6-5) won five of its last seven games.
UT Martin (8-3) was coming off a historic victory to secure the program's third consecutive conference championship with a share of the inaugural Big South-OVC Association title. The Skyhawks finished the regular season tied atop the standings with Gardner-Webb, which beat Charleston Southern 34-10 on Saturday for its fifth straight victory - including a 38-34 victory over UT Martin on Oct. 28.
Michael Hiers threw for 205 yards - with eight receptions, 86 yards and a touchdown going to Smith - for Samford.
Jamari Cannon and Kamron Smith each intercepted a Kinkead Dent pass.
