Trailing 14-7 after the first period, UAPB scored three touchdowns in the second quarter. Perry’s one-yard TD run tied the score at 14-14 less than two minutes into the second quarter.

Following a three-and-out by the Golden Lion defense, Daryl Carter blocked a punt deep in PVAMU territory that was recovered by the Panthers inside the five-yard line. Three plays later, Perry’s five-yard touchdown pass to Wilkes gave the Golden Lions a 20-14 lead with 10:42 to play until halftime as the PAT was blocked.

After the Panthers regained the lead at 21-20 with just under nine minutes to play until intermission, UAPB answered on the ensuing drive. Perry’s 31-yard touchdown pass to Ralph ended a six-play, 60-yard drive to give the Golden Lions at 27-21 lead they would take to halftime.

The teams traded field goals in the third quarter before UAPB took the game’s only double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. Aided by a key fourth-down conversion on the first play of the fourth quarter, Perry completed a 10-play, 61-yard drive with a three-yard scoring strike to Wilkes to give the Golden Lions a 36-24 lead with just over 12 minutes to play.

PVAMU responded with a touchdown drive, scoring with 7:06 remaining but would not score again.
