Turnovers haunt CU Tigers, as Faulkner wins shootout, 69-51 Visitors turned tide in 2nd half for victory before 600 fans in Finley Stadium. Click on headline for complete story, photo(s) Next - CU Football Tigers hosts No. 23 Bethel University at 1pmCT/2pmET, Saturday, October 15, 2016, at Finley Stadium, 204 Tiger Way, Campbellsville, KY. By Jordan Alves, sports information director CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - In a game that saw 1,245 total yards of offense and 1,135 coming through the air, Faulkner University took advantage of five Campbellsville turnovers, and scored 20 points off those mishaps, to win the first Mid-South Conference West Divisional game of the season for both squads, 69-51. Campbellsville falls on the season to 1-4 overall and 0-1 inside the MSC West Division. The Eagles improve to 3-2 overall and 1-0 inside the West. Hunter Brown set the single-game passing record with 618 yards through the air of 36-of-60 passing but he did fall victim to three interceptions. His counterpart, Faulkner's Clayton Nicholas was close behind with 517 yards and four touchdowns. The running game was non-existent for both teams, rushing for only 110 combined yards (Faulkner 76, Campbellsville 34). But for the Eagles, Joe Jones was set up with three of his five touchdowns inside four-yards. It looked as a mirror image of last season's 59-50 win for Campbellsville in Montgomery, AL, but Faulkner turned the tides on the Tigers in the second half. Last season it was Faulkner who jumped ahead early but today, Campbellsville held the advantage to start. Brown and the offense came out firing on all cylinders to score on its first two drives. Zerric Willis hauled in a diving catch for the first TD then CU forced a fumble and Tyler Carpenter recovered to set up the second score - a 4-yard jump ball to Tyus Alcorn - giving the Tigers a 14-0 lead. Then a CU turnover led to the first Faulkner score. Keylan Smith stepped in front of Brown's pass to set up the Eagles' first score - a 23-yard touchdown catch by Rob Lockhart. Campbellsville's defense then flexed its muscles. Brandon Devins picked up a sack - the first of four for CU - on the 1-yard line forcing the Eagles to punt from their own end zone and giving the Tigers its best field position of the day at the Faulkner 30. But the Eagles defense held their own, forcing the Tigers to settle for the first of three field goals for CU's Bradley Bates (24 yards). The turnover bug then started to bite hard. Keanu Young muffed a punt and the Eagles took advantage for the second time after the turnover - a 39-yard TD reception by Keithon Redding, cutting the CU lead, 17-13. Both teams traded touchdowns once again but the Tigers scored 10 unanswered points to end the first half - Brown hit Jordan Duff for a 59-yard TD and Bates made a career-long 42-yard field goal with 2.9 seconds left on the first half clock. Leading 34-20 to start the third quarter, Campbellsville had Faulkner looking at third down and 18 yards to go but a costly face mask penalty gave the Eagles new life and they took advantage in a big, big way. Two plays later, Joe Jones ran in from 11 yards out for one of his career-high five rushing touchdowns. After that touchdown, the Eagles rallied to score on its next six drives - which turned out to be every drive in the second half - and the Tigers never found an answer. But even though the contest ended in a high-scoring affair for the second-straight season between the two MSC West Division foes, Campbellsville hung right in there. The Tigers answered on their first drive of the third quarter, as Brown hit Wade Holtsclaw for a 63-yard reception that set up the second of the three pass-and-catch touchdowns between Brown and Alcorn. Alcorn finished with four catches, three of those touchdowns, and 87 yards but Alcorn went down in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return. The Eagles stuck with their bread and butter and the Tigers' defense was on the field for much of the second half. Faulkner scored on its next two drives and tied the game at 41-all - which was the only time the game was tied all afternoon. Bates broke the 41-all tie with one of his three field goal giving CU a 44-41 lead. But after the field goal by Bates with 1:09 to go in the third quarter, Faulkner answered right back. Nicholas hit Keithon Redding for a 74-yard TD with seconds remaining in the third and then Jones rushed for his third TD with 11:32 remaining in the fourth quarter giving the Eagles a double-digit lead, 55-44. Campbellsville was driving on its second possession of the fourth quarter but Austin Wilder stepped in front of a Brown pass and took it back 75-yards for the pick-six, pushing Faulkner ahead, 62-44, with 9:05 left. Just 16 seconds later, though, Campbellsville brought the deficit back to 11 points, 62-51, as DaRone Osborne picked up his first touchdown as a Tiger on a 62-yard pass from Brown. Then it was all Faulkner, as Jones recorded his fifth touchdown rush giving the Eagles the 69-51 lead. Campbellsville looked to mount a comeback but Brown was intercepted for the third time today as Josh Keys hauled in a deflected ball off the hands of Keanu Young across the middle to seal the win for Faulkner. Defensively Rontez Mitchel led the Tigers with 12 tackles. Luckandre Vassor picked up a pair of tackles - both sacks. This story was posted on 2016-10-02 06:41:17
