CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Senior Ryan Perrilloux threw for 206 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead Jacksonville State to a 24-3 win over Southeast Missouri State on Saturday afternoon.
The win secured the Gamecocks' seventh consecutive winning season under head coach Jack Crowe and the 41st winning season since the modern era of JSU football began in 1947.
Perrilloux found eight different receivers, led by Alan Bonner with 54 yards and a touchdown and Greg Smith added 51 yards on a pair of receptions.
