Wofford Shuts Out Elon on Three Field Goals and a Catch
Five turnovers. Elon gave the ball away three times on interceptions and twice on lost fumbles, and Wofford took a 16-0 win without a single giveaway of its own.
The yardage tells you how strange this one was. Wofford finished with 258 total yards and Elon with 257, a one-yard difference. Elon even ran for 178 yards to Wofford's 105. None of it turned into points.
Wofford's scoring came in a rush near halftime. Conner Deviney kicked a 42-yard field goal with 3:26 left in the second quarter, another from 22 yards with 53 seconds left, and a third from 37 yards as the half expired. That made it 9-0. In the third quarter, with 9:50 left, Kaeden Gilstrap threw 6 yards to Anjuan Coleman Jr. for the only touchdown of the day, and it was 16-0. Nobody scored after that. Deviney, the kicker (yes, the kicker), accounted for ten of Wofford's 16 points, nine on field goals and one on the extra point.
It was an odd passing day all around. Elon threw for 79 yards. Wofford got 153, split between JT Fayard (11 of 25, 133 yards) and Gilstrap (3 of 7, 20 yards and the touchdown). Wofford led from the first score to the last.
Wofford moves to 4-2 and Elon falls to 3-3. Flip the turnovers and this is a coin flip, because the yardage was a wash. Instead Elon went home without a point. For fantasy, the top scorer was Elon's Kamerin McDowell-Moore, with 19.3 points, on a losing team that was shut out.
