Golden Eagles score on three turnovers to top Robert Morris

MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – The Tennessee Tech defense meant business on Saturday. Tim Coutras had two interceptions, including one for a touchdown, Kanstin Brooks almost had a pick-six of his own, then Jyron Gilmore forced a fumble and Aaron Swafford took another fumble back to the house.

Then there was Daniel Rickert. Seven tackles with two sacks. Solid game, but hold on, there’s more. Add on two forced fumbles – and he’s not done yet. He also had two fumble recoveries, including a 20-yard touchdown.

The defensive effort was huge as the Golden Eagles left Pittsburgh with a 38-13 victory over Robert Morris on Saturday to earn their first Big South-Ohio Valley Conference Football Association victory, improving to 3-5 on the season, 1-2 in the league.
