BUFFALO, N,Y. (AP) --- Chance Morrow caught his third touchdown pass from
Elijah Holmes with 4:23 left in the game and the Buffalo Bulls beat the Albany
Great Danes of the FCS 21-17 on Thursday night.
Morrow finished with seven receptions for 48 yards for the Bulls (1-0). Holmes
was 26-of-47 passing for 189 yards and hit Morrow for touchdowns of 9, 4 and 5
yards.
Kickoff, which had originally been scheduled for 7 p.m. local time, was delayed
about 2 3/4 hours due to inclement weather in the area.
Rahshan La Mons ran for a 4-yard gain that made it second-and-goal from inside
the 1 with 1:26 left, but a false start moved the Great Danes (1-1) back
outside the 5. On fourth-and-goal, Stevie Bracey tackled Luke McAuliffe at the
3 to seal it.
Holmes led the Bulls on a 15-play, 75-yard drive that took more than 6 1/2
minutes off the clock and made it 7-7 when he hit Morrow for a 9-yard TD with
11:23 left in the first half.
Morrow went up high over his defender to snatch a pass along the sideline from
Holmes and got both feet down for a 4-yard touchdown that gave Buffalo a 14-7
lead with 2:46 remaining in the second quarter.
Kai Coln threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Tavahri Groves to open the scoring
with 3:02 left in the first quarter.
Dana Johnson Jr.'s strip-sack of Holmes was recovered by Dorian Royal at the
Buffalo 27, but the Great Danes settled for an apparent 44-yard field goal by
Kocan. Buffalo was called for roughing the kicker and first-year Albany coach
Tom Perkovich took a fresh set of downs and the points off the board. Two plays
later, Justus Murray Jr. made a 14-yard touchdown catch to take a 17-14 lead
with 3:23 to go in the third.
RJ Kocan made a 46-yard field goal just before halftime to cut Albany's deficit
to 14-10.
