Hayden Wolfe's field goal in OT lifts Troy to 24-21 victory over James Madison
HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) --- Hayden Wolfe kicked a 27-yard field goal in overtime
and Troy rallied from a 14-point deficit to beat James Madison 24-21 on
Thursday night.
Troy (4-4, 2-2 Sun Belt Conference) turned the ball over on downs at the Dukes'
41-yard line to start the game, and Camden Coleman tossed a 2-yard touchdown
pass to Corey Scott on fourth-and-goal nine plays later for a 7-0 lead.
Coleman fired a 31-yard touchdown pass to Braeden Wisloski and James Madison
(7-2, 4-2) led 14-0 after its first two possessions.
The Trojans cut it to 14-7 when Gavin Griffin ran it in from a yard out on the
first play of the second quarter. Troy picked up three first downs on James
Madison penalties to extend the drive.
The Dukes answered with a third straight touchdown drive, scoring on Seth
Cromwell's 14-yard run for a 21-7 advantage at halftime.
Justin Powe intercepted a pass by Dukes backup JC Evans two plays into the
third quarter and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown to get the Trojans
within seven. Powe picked off three passes to tie Ronnie Shelley's single-game
school record set in 1968.
JMU followed its three scoring drives with four three-and-outs and five
turnovers on its next nine possessions.
Troy turned the fourth turnover --- a fumble recovery --- into a 28-yard
touchdown run by Jaheim Merriweather three plays later to tie it 21-all heading
to the fourth quarter.
Tucker Kilcrease completed 15 of 31 passes for 179 yards for the Trojans, who
improved to 1-3 on the road. Merriweather totaled 84 yards on 13 rushes.
Coleman had 175 yards on 14-for-25 passing for the Dukes with two
interceptions. Cromwell finished with 135 yards on 23 rushes.
