ODESSA- In its first three quarters of intercollegiate football, U.T. Permian Basin unloaded a 20-0 run on its way to a 27-6 inaugural victory over the Sul Ross Lobos at a packed Ratliff Stadium Saturday evening.

Despite the margin Sul Ross outpaced the Falcons in nearly every offensive category.

The Lobos won the battle in first downs by a 20-15 margin while netting 138 yards in rushing compared to U.T.P.B.'s 128 yards.

Both teams tied in the passing department with 163 yards.

Junior quarterback James Davis (Houston/South) led the ground attack with 15 carries for 79 yards and Sully's only score which came early in the closing period on a 23 yard run.

Davis also completed 19 of 35 passes for 154 yards and suffered a pair of interceptions.

Byron Jones (League City/Clear Springs), last season's ASC Freshman of the Year, posted four receptions for 41 yards including a long of 17.

Defensively Jacob Castaneda (El Paso/Franklin) polled a team high five tackles while Quinton Jackson (Austin/Reagan) added four stops in the effort. Mike Quinonez (El Paso/El Dorado) recorded an interception for a 25 yard return.

The Lobos start the season at 0-1 and will face Wayland Baptist University in a 1:00 p.m. kickoff next Saturday in Plainview.
