East Texas A&M Wins a 10-7 Grinder with a Late Field Goal
Three scoring plays in sixty minutes. East Texas A&M beat Southeastern Louisiana 10-7 on Ozlo Rigby's 49-yard field goal with 1:55 left, and that was the only thing that happened after halftime.
Southeastern Louisiana scored first, and it did not need its offense. Dkhai Joseph returned a punt 58 yards for a touchdown with 13:01 left in the first quarter, 7-0. Quay Middlebrooks answered with a 35-yard run early in the second to tie it, and the score stayed 7-7 through the third quarter and into the fourth. Take away the punt return and the Lions had no points at all.
Both offenses will want to forget the rest. East Texas A&M finished with 241 total yards, only 89 of them passing, and Southeastern Louisiana had 300. The turnovers were split almost evenly: Southeastern Louisiana threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles, East Texas A&M threw one and lost two. Nobody was going to be accused of playing clean.
East Texas A&M moves to 3-5 and Southeastern Louisiana drops to 3-4.
For fantasy, the top score of the day was Joseph's 23.9, and it came on 11 catches for 139 yards plus the return touchdown. Nobody else on either side reached 14.
