LOUISIANA TECH 55, SAN JOSE ST 20

RUSTON, La.(AP) -- Daniel Porter ran for 199 yards and three

State in the final game for Spartans veteran coach Dick Tomey.

The Bulldogs (4-8, 3-5 Western Athletic Conference) used a
season-high 45-point first half to beat the Spartans (2-10, 1-7)

Tomey ranks behind only Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden, Mack Brown
and Frank Beamer in active wins by coaches in the Football Bowl
Subdivision.

Porter, who finished with 28 carries, became Louisiana Tech's
all-time leading rusher on a 20-yard rush in the fourth quarter,
surpassing Jason Cooper (1991-94). The Bulldogs running back
finished his with career with 3,352 yards rushing.

Porter also became the second player in school history to have
consecutive 1,000 yard seasons.
