HAMMOND, La. (AP) — Zachary Clement threw for two touchdowns and added 114 yards on 14 carries to lead Southeastern Louisiana to a 38-24 win over winless McNeese in a Southland Conference game Saturday.

Clement was 15 of 27 for 158 yards, two touchdowns and was picked off twice, but it was his running that kept McNeese off-balance. Rodeo Graham Jr. had 16 carries for 71 yards and three touchdowns.

The Lions (2-7, 2-3) have won consecutive games after having started the season losing seven straight.

For McNeese (0-8, 1-4), true freshman quarterback Kamden Sixkiller — who is 6-foot-6 — entered late in the second quarter and played the entire second half, completing 9 of 19 passes for 130 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown to Jihad Marks on the first play of the third quarter.
