TSU football struggles with turnovers and run game in OVC loss

Tennessee State football lost to UT Martin 42-28 on October 10, marking their 10th consecutive Ohio Valley Conference defeat. Quarterback Daylin Lee led the Tigers to a 21-7 first-half lead but was hindered by three interceptions and a fumble. The team's running game remains weak, totaling just 15 yards on 21 carries, despite the return of starting running back Zach Simmons-Brown from injury. TSU has struggled to maintain leads, as seen in their previous game where they squandered a 21-10 fourth-quarter advantage against Western Illinois. Coach Reggie Barlow acknowledged Lee’s struggles and the challenges faced in the running game.
