FVSU rally falls a foot short on final play in thriller with Tuskegee
A 76-yard pass from Kelvin Durham to Za’Tarious Anderson put Fort Valley State inside the 5, but Tuskegee’s bending defense didn’t break and stopped Kentrelle Williams a foot short of the goal line on the game’s final play to preserve a 37-31 win Sunday night.
The game was played in Montgomery, Ala. in the Red Tails Classic, a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen.
FVSU outgained Tuskegeee in the fourth quarter 186-22
The teams traded explosion in the third quarter.
Veterans grad Daniel Gibbs drilled a 31-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 31-17 with 4:52 left in the third. Tuskegee took the kickoff back 92 yards to go up 20.
Not for long. Dejuan Bell answered with a 94-yard kickoff return, and the Wildcats were back within two scores.
Willis went in from the 2 after a 51-yard pass from Durham to Edmonds, pulling FVSU within 37-31 with 11:31 left.
Tuskegee led 24-14 at halftime.
