Homecoming ended in a close loss. No. 11 Tennessee Tech beat No. 17 ETSU 24-17 on Saturday at William B. Greene Jr. Stadium after trailing by 10 in the second quarter. The Golden Eagles finished with 17 unanswered points, capped by a 1-yard touchdown run from quarterback Jax Leatherwood with 4:08 left.

The bright spot was sophomore running back TJ Peyton, who had a career-best day. "He's a stud. He's an unbelievable player," ETSU head coach Will Healy said.
