North Carolina A&T Beats New Hampshire 30-27 in Overtime
A missed extra point is why this one went to overtime, and an overtime field goal is why North Carolina A&T won it, 30-27 over New Hampshire.
Here is the sequence. Kevin White threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Elijah Kennedy as regulation ran out, and the extra point from Asher Holland failed. Had it been good, A&T wins 28-27 right there. Instead it was 27-27, and in the extra period Holland kicked a 34-yard field goal to win it. Same kicker, one miss, one make.
The game got there through plenty of back and forth. New Hampshire scored first on Joquez Smith's 2-yard run, A&T tied it on a 9-yard White pass to Amonte Jones, and J.T. Smith's 1-yard run put A&T up 14-7. Brooks Bentley answered with a 75-yard touchdown to Logan Perez at 8:31 of the second quarter, White hit Michael Carlock-Williams from 32 yards to make it 21-14, and Lucas Glassburn's 24-yard field goal as the half ended cut it to 21-17. Perez caught another, 21 yards, with 49 seconds left in the third to put New Hampshire ahead 24-21, and Glassburn's 26-yarder with 1:40 to go in the fourth made it 27-21. It was tied three times, with three lead changes along the way.
The box score splits closely, which fits: A&T 388 total yards, New Hampshire 360, and New Hampshire was the only team to give it away, with an interception and a lost fumble to A&T's none. Twenty-eight yards of margin on the yardage line, two turnovers on the other, and both teams end up 2-4.
For fantasy, the two best scorers were on opposite sides: Perez with eight catches, 136 yards and two touchdowns, and White with three touchdown passes.
