Prairie View A&M outlasts Grambling in 5 overtimes 36-34


DALLAS (AP) — Lamagea McDowell scored from a yard out in the fifth overtime to give Prairie View A&M a 36-34 win over Grambling on Saturday night in the State Fair Classic played at the Cotton Bowl.


Both teams scored touchdowns and converted PATs in the first overtime and both made field goals in the second, sending the game into the third overtime and mandatory two-point conversions.


Both teams failed on their first pair of two-point tries and Grambling (3-2, 0-1 Southwestern Athletic Conference) also failed on its third, setting up the Panthers (2-3, 1-2) for the win. That came after a defensive holding call gave Prairie View the ball at the 1 and McDowell plowed through the middle.


Connor Wisham's 39-yard fourth-quarter touchdown, coming after Terrell Coleman Jr's interception, gave Prairie View A&M its first lead at 24-17 with under 10 minutes remaining. Another Panthers interception, this by Cameron Franklin, led to Jaden Johnson's 9-yard keeper to tie the score earlier in the fourth quarter.


On Grambling's final possession in regulation, Myles Crawley threw a 38-yard pass that Marquis Harris grabbed on the sideline at the Panthers 9 with a minute to go. Two plays later Crawley hit Jalen Johnson for a 12-yard score to tie the game with 38 seconds left.
