JONESBORO -- James Blackman took off on a dead sprint, diagonally crossing the field as he tried to track down Reddy Steward.

As soon as Steward reached the end zone, the Troy cornerback wheeled off toward the Trojans' bench, celebrating his 67-yard interception return touchdown.

Blackman, a few yards behind him, shook his head. The Arkansas State quarterback slumped his shoulders, trudging back to the Red Wolves' bench from the southwest corner of Centennial Bank Stadium.

Steward's pick-six was part of 34 unanswered Troy points, all in the fourth quarter, as the Trojans bulldozed ASU in the final 15 minutes Saturday afternoon, running away with a 48-19 win and clinching the Sun Belt Conference West Division title.
