On Grambling’s ensuing possession, Jordan Brown’s first-career interception and 19-yard return gave the Golden Lions possession at the GSU 11-yard line with just over three minutes remaining.

After moving the football to the Tigers’ three-yard line with just over a minute to play, UAPB lost yards on third down and two. On fourth down, Grambling intercepted a pass its’ 12-yard line with 57 seconds to play.

Patrick completed 22 of 35 passes for 291 yards and a career-high-tying four touchdowns, two of them to Ballard who caught a career-best nine passes for 144 yards. DeJuan Miller caught six passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns.

Trailing 7-0, UAPB responded with a seven-play, 75-yard drive, ending with Patrick’s 17-yard scoring pass to Miller to bring the Golden Lions to within 7-6 with 4:26 to play in the opening quarter.

Following a Grambling score on a safety, UAPB took the football back two plays later as Xavier Mitchell forced and recovered a fumble at the UAPB 43.

On the next play, a 46-yard Patrick-to-Ballard connection led to a score three plays later, as Taeyler Porter scored from a yard out as the Golden Lions took the lead for the first time, 12-9, with less than two minutes to play in the first quarter.

After Grambling (3-4, 1-2) scored touchdowns on consecutive possessions to take a 22-12 lead, the Golden Lions responded prior to halftime. A six-play, 57-yard drive ended with Miller’s leaping 24-yard touchdown reception to cut the UAPB deficit to 22-19 at halftime.
