NEW ORLEANS (AP) Kenneth Dixon had 215 yards from scrimmage and scored four times to become the NCAA's career touchdowns leader, and Louisiana Tech beat Arkansas State 47-28 in the New Orleans Bowl on Saturday night.
Dixon caught six passes for 113 yards and touchdowns of 9 and 59 yards. He carried 21 times for 102 yards, including scoring runs of 8 and 4 yards.
He has 87 touchdowns and 522 points, putting him two TDs and 10 points ahead of Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who plays Monday in the Military Bowl.
Jeff Driskel, a transfer from Florida, closed out his college career by passing for 458 yards and three touchdowns for Louisiana Tech (9-4), which had 687 total yards in finishing a second straight season with a bowl victory.
The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak for Arkansas State (9-4), the Sun Belt Conference champion. Quarterback Fredi Knighten accounted for 179 yards from scrimmage and scored one TD rushing for the Red Wolves.
