Sam Houston scored early and often as the Bearkats rolled up 549 yards total offense in a 50-6 non-conference win over Texas Southern Thursday at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.

Quarterback Brian Bell passed for 209 yards and three touchdowns including two scoring plays to Chance Nelson.

The transfer from Texas A&M caught three passes for 127 yards.

The Bearkat defense limited the Tigers to 149 yards total offense.

Linebacker Darius Taylor totaled eight tackles including two quarterback sacks.

The Bearkats took only 50 seconds to score their first points of the game.

Bell found Chance Nelson open behind the Tiger secondary for a 61-yard scoring pass three minutes into the contest.

Dax Swanson’s 12th career interception set up the Kats’ second score.

Trey Diller scored on a 32-yard run after an option pitch by Bell to complete a six play 54-yard drive and put SHSU up 14-0 with 5:18 to go.

Swanson needs one more interception to tie the Sam Houston career interception mark of 13 set by Ronnie Choate in 1955 through 1959.

An interception return by Steven White to the SHSU 14 set up a 16 yard scoring pass from Justice Jones to James Davis to put the Tigers on the scoreboard with 12:11 to go in the second quarter.

Preston Sanders blocked the extra point and Kenneth Jenkins picked up the ball at the 20 and ran it back for a defensive PAT return.
