Bryant Erases a 14-0 Hole and Beats North Carolina A&T 31-30
North Carolina A&T led from the first quarter until two seconds were left. Bryant led for only those last two, and they were the ones that counted: Nicholas Stoyanovich kicked a 25-yard field goal with 0:02 left, and Bryant won 31-30.
It started the other way. Kevin White threw a 5-yard touchdown to Michael Carlock-Williams in the first quarter and a 10-yarder to Amonte Jones, and North Carolina A&T was up 14-0 with 2:25 left in the first. Jordan Bennett got Bryant on the board with a 10-yard run in the second, but Asher Holland field goals of 23 and 34 yards kept A&T ahead, 20-7 in the third. Bryant did not score again until the fourth quarter, and it scored 24 points there: a Kendrick Agenor 1-yard run (20-14), a Bennett 1-yard run (23-21), the Agenor touchdown catch from Brennan Myer (30-28), and the final field goal.
In the middle of all that, White hit Carlock-Williams for a 68-yard touchdown with 2:18 left to make it 30-21, which should have been the end of it. Bryant got ten points back in the final 2:18 anyway: a touchdown and a kick, with 37 seconds between the two scores. The box score is close to even: 356 yards for North Carolina A&T, 345 for Bryant, and Bryant lost a fumble and threw an interception while A&T lost one fumble.
Bryant is 4-0 and North Carolina A&T is 1-4. For A&T, it was a loss by one point. Flip the final kick and it is a win, which is the sort of thing I would be thinking about on the bus ride home.
