HOUSTON (AP) — Daniel Greek threw three touchdown passes and Tarleton State used a 21-point second quarter to defeat Houston Christian 35-18 on Saturday night.

Derrel Kelley III and Kayvon Britten each had a rushing touchdown in the second quarter for the Texans and in between took advantage of Donta Stuart's interception for a two-play touchdown drive with Greek hitting Cody Jackson for a 24-yard score.

Greek was 15 of 22 for 179 yards passing. Britten carried 26 times for 154 yards and Kelley 23 times for 110 for the Texans (2-1).

Greek connected with Mikey Henderson for a 22-yard touchdown in the third quarter and Darius Cooper with a 9-yard score in the fourth for a 35-10 lead.

Cutter Stewart threw for 201 yards with a touchdown and 2-point conversion to AJ Wilson for the Huskies (0-2) but was intercepted twice.
