Prairie View A&M Answers East Texas A&M's Rally in 52 Seconds
East Texas A&M scored two touchdowns 18 seconds apart on the clock to get within 24-19, and Prairie View A&M needed 52 more seconds to answer. Chase Bingmon ripped off a 52-yard touchdown run with 8:47 left, and Prairie View A&M held on for a 30-19 win that moved it to 4-4. East Texas A&M fell to 2-5.
East Texas A&M started the scoring on two Ozlo Rigby field goals, from 27 and 26 yards, for a 6-0 edge. Bingmon's 2-yard run made it 7-6 Prairie View A&M, and that was the only lead change of the day. Tevin Carter threw a 9-yard touchdown to Rodny Ojo just before halftime, Ethan Eddins kicked a 45-yard field goal, and Carter hit Ojo again from six yards at the start of the fourth for a 24-6 lead.
Then East Texas A&M's Reese Mooney threw touchdown passes of 11 yards to Micah Simpson and 24 yards to Andrez Lewis (the two-point try after the second one failed). Bingmon's run put an end to it, and the two-point attempt there failed, too. Nobody scored again.
The yardage tells a strange story. East Texas A&M threw for 333 yards but managed only 45 on the ground on 26 carries. Prairie View A&M passed for 237 and ran for 118, had three sacks, and each team lost one fumble. Take away the 52-yard run and Prairie View A&M ran for 66 yards on its other 32 carries, which is why the passing game did the heavy lifting.
