Football. Norris has 3 TDs, Western Kentucky tops Houston Baptist 50-3

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) Nicholas Norris scored three touchdowns, Western Kentucky scored on its first eight possessions and the Hilltoppers went on to rout Houston Baptist 50-3 in a nonconference game on Saturday night.

Western Kentucky (3-2) wasted no time, going 82 yards in just four plays on the opening drive for the game's first touchdown. Anthony Wales capped the march, running nearly untouched through the Houston Baptist (2-3) defense for a 45-yard touchdown less than a minute-and-a-half into the contest.

Mike White's 34-yard touchdown pass to Norris made it 14-3 after the first quarter.
