Tech football beats Eastern Kentucky in overtime

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Alex Carling had probably the catch of a lifetime. With Eastern Kentucky up 30-27 in overtime, the Tennessee Tech football team took advantage of a personal foul call against the Colonels to get a first down, then Michael Birdsong threw a four-yard strike to the tight end Carling in the left corner of the end zone for the game-winning touchdown, 33-30 in favor of the Golden Eagles.
