GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Bo Cordell passed for 268 yards and four touchdowns to lead the TC Black squad to a 36-3 win over TC White in the annual Tusculum College Spring Game held Saturday afternoon at the College's Practice Field.

Cordell, a rising red-shirt junior quarterback from Cincinnati, Ohio, went 19-for-26 on the afternoon as the 2010 South Atlantic Conference Offensive Player of the Year returns to the TC line-up after missing most of last season due to a broken foot.

TC Black scored on its opening possession as Cordell found redshirt freshman Kenny Funnye (Georgetown, S.C.) from 12 yards out. Sophomore Logan Cornelius' extra point made it 7-0. The Black defense accounted for the next score as linebacker Aaron Morgan recovered a fumble and returned it for a 33-yard touchdown to make the score 13-0.

At the 2:16 mark of the first quarter, TC White drove into scoring position before the drive stalled. Redshirt freshman kicker Brandon Burkey (Jonesborough, Tenn.) connected on a 40-yard field goal to make it a 13-3 contest.

Cornelius (Chattanooga, Tenn.) answered on the final play of the first half when he drilled a 42-yard field goal for TC Black as they took a 16-3 score into the intermission.

Cordell tossed for three touchdowns in the second half, including two in the third quarter. The first game on a 17-yard strike to 6-10 tight end Wesley Powell (Eclectic, Ala.). Cornelius added the point after to make it 23-3 at the 7:37 mark of the third. Senior running back Brian Marshall (Chattanooga, Tenn.) hauled in a seven-yard TD pass from Cordell on the final play of the period to make it 30-3.

Marshall paced TC Black with 89 all-purpose yards, including four receptions for 73 yards and a TD, along with two rushes for 16 yards. Sophomore running back Chad Blakely (Knoxville, Tenn.) accounted for 98 all-purpose yards with three catches for 79 yards and two carries for 19 yards.

Wide receiver and TC signal caller Kyle Dickey (McDonough, Ga.) hauled in an 18-yard TD pass from Cordell in the right corner of the end zone on the game's final play.

"Overall, this was a very successful afternoon," said Tusculum head coach Frankie DeBusk. "We got in a lot of repetitions in today and saw a lot of players in action. We have been getting better with each practice and today was the best we have looked, defensively. Fourteen practices down and one more to go; we need to finish strong."

Powell finished the game with five catches for 65 yards, while Dickey added two receptions for 26 yards and a score.

Sophomore Tony Hillman (Duncan, S.C.) added two receptions for 13 yards, while redshirt freshman running back Brandon Bell (Madisonville, Tenn.) rushed three times for 10 yards.
