Jonathan Autry threw three- fourth quarter touchdowns as
Fayetteville State (5-4, 3-3 CIAA) rallied to hand Saint
Augustine’s (8-1, 5-1 CIAA) its first loss of the season
45-28.
Trailing 21-17 after three quarters, Autry threw touchdowns
of 47, 31 and 10 yards and Geron Harper returned a fumble
39 yards for a touchdown as the Broncos outscored the Falcons
28-7 in the fourth quarter.
Quarterback Darrell Nesbitt, who passed for 292 yards, connected
with Eddie Montgomery on touchdown passes of 35 and 21 yards
as Saint Augustine’s, who came into the game as the
top ranked team in the Southeast Region, led 14-10 at the
half.
In the third quarter, Saint Augustine’s appeared to
take control of the game when Nesbitt broke loose for a 53-yard
touchdown run. Arthur Lemon added the PAT as the Falcons
opened up a 21-10 lead. The Broncos would close the gap some,
when Amir Holding capped a 15-play, 84 yard drive with a
1-yard touchdown run to cut Saint Augustine’s lead
to 21-17 going into the fourth quarter.
Autry, who was 19 of 30 for 301 yards and four touchdowns,
went to work in the fourth quarter, as he sandwiched touchdown
passes to Nick Green and Chris Holden around Harper’s
fumble return, as the Broncos roared back from a four-point
deficit and opened up a 38-21 lead on the stunned Falcons,
who came into the game sporting the second ranked defense
in Division II.
Saint Augustine’s would respond with an 11-play, 87-yard
drive that was capped by Kenneth Snowden’s eight-yard
touchdown run to trim the Broncos lead to 38-28 with 7:38
left in the game.
The Broncos would seal the upset on their next possession
when Autry threw his third touchdown of the quarter when
he connected with Veon McHam on a ten-yard score to push
FSU’s lead to 45-28.
