Prairie View A&M Kicks past Alcorn State 41-38 Late
Ethan Eddins won this game with a 37-yard field goal, and he needed 1:56 on the clock to do it. Prairie View A&M beat Alcorn State 41-38 in a game where the Braves threw for 356 yards and five touchdowns and still lost.
It started badly for Alcorn State. Malik Gucake picked up a fumble and ran it 61 yards for a touchdown on the first score of the game, and Tevin Carter hit Rodny Ojo from 21 yards to make it 14-0. Carter added a 54-yard run later in the first quarter for a 21-7 lead. Then Jaylon Tolbert got going: he threw touchdowns of 13 and 63 yards to Fred Robertson, 12 to Ernest Temple and 13 to Damien Jones. The last one tied it at 28-28 with 1:27 left in the half, and Eddins hit a 31-yard field goal on the last play to make it 31-28 at the break.
There were only four other scoring plays after that, two for each side. Tolbert and Robertson connected from 16 yards early in the third, which put Alcorn State up 35-31 for the only time. Carter's 18-yard run with 11:06 left in the fourth made it 38-35, and Kenyon Bowyer's 25-yard field goal tied it again at 38-38. Eddins then had the last word. Alcorn State's two lost fumbles hurt (the first became a touchdown), and Prairie View A&M ran for 240 yards against 149 for the Braves, even though Alcorn State had the better total at 505 yards to 402.
Prairie View A&M is 3-4 and Alcorn State is 2-3. The fantasy angle is Robertson, who put up 40.7 points with three touchdown catches, and Tolbert's 47.4 was still the best in the game.
