MURRAY, Ky. -- Drew Anderson passed for 373 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score and Murray State picked up its first win of the season, holding off Tennessee-Martin 45-38 in the Racers' Ohio Valley Conference opener on Saturday.

The Skyhawks (1-4, 1-1) pulled within 14-10 midway through the second quarter on Dresser Winn's 4-yard TD toss to Terry Williams, but the Racers (1-3, 1-0) exploded for 17 points in the final seven minutes to take a 31-10 lead at halftime.
