Carrera boots walk-off field goal in N. Alabama's 37-35 win
FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) Chandler Carerra kicked a 38-yard walk-off field goal as North Alabama rallied past previously unbeaten Azusa Pacific 37-35 in a rain-delayed game that saw seven lead changes Saturday night.
The dramatic win as time expired foiled Azusa Pacific's last-gasp rally. Tyrone Williams Jr. fired his fifth touchdown pass of the game, an 8-yarder to Brandon Jackson, and then connected with Weston Carr on a two-point conversion to give the Division II Lions a 35-34 lead with little more than a minute to play.
In a final drive plagued by personal fouls called on both teams, Christian Lopez lasered a pass to Andre Little to the Azusa Pacific 21. Lopez hurried the Lions downfield and spiked the ball with six seconds left, setting up the winning field goal.
Carrera was 5-for-5 on the night, tying the school record. He booted three field goals in a row to rally the Lions into a 9-6 lead by halftime. Offenses suddenly became high octane as the game wore on, the teams combining for 33 points in the fourth quarter.
Azusa Pacific (3-1), ranked in a D-II poll, traveled 1,900 miles to play North Alabama (3-1), competing in its first season of Division I. Kickoff was delayed 2 1/2 hours by rain.
