SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Mitch Allen scored two of Wofford's five unanswered touchdowns as part of 36 straight points in a 45-14 win over Western Carolina on Saturday.

Trailing 14-9 midway through the second quarter, Allen rushed for a 9-yard touchdown to give the Terriers (5-1, 3-0 Southern Conference) the lead for good after a missed extra point.

The score capped an 80-yard, seven-play drive one possession after the Catamounts (2-5, 1-3) scored on a 51-yard fumble recovery by Randy Pressley.

Allen was one of three Terriers with more than 100 yards rushing, finishing with 178 on 15 carries. Eric Breitenstein added 149 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries and Donovan Johnson had 123 yards on nine carries. Wofford had 590 yards of total offense, including 501 on the ground.

Michael Johnson, who scored the Catamounts' other touchdown on a 1-yard run, finished with 69 yards on 20 carries.
