History
TSU's shot at a second consecutive Labor Day Classic win came to a disappointing end at the final buzzer as they fell 22-21 to Prairie View on Saturday night inside Shell Energy Stadium.
Due to inclement weather in the surrounding area prior to the game, the contest was pushed back to 8:20 p.m. Despite the delay, the Tigers wasted no time in setting the tone as Roriyon Richardson caught a big pass from KJ Cooper to move to the PVAMU 10. Da'Veon Ford capped off the drive with a touchdown run as they lead 7-0 following the PAT.
PVAMU wound answer on its opening drive as they used a big pass play on fourth down to knot it at 7-all. The TSU defense would force a punt on its opening drive in the second quarter but the ball hit off a TSU player and allowed the Panthers to recover deep in TSU territory. Several plays later, PVAMU went up 14-7 on a Cam Peters touchdown run.
Despite the setback TSU would answer quickly as Kerien Charlo used a big kickoff return to set up a one-play, 20-yard touchdown run from Athean Renfro as the teams would end the half tied at 14-all.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Panthers moved ahead 16-14 after a safety but the Tigers refused to back down. KJ Cooper and the TSU offense applied pressure on the PVAMU secondary on the next drive and worked their way into the redzone as the drive culminated with Richardson's 15-yard touchdown pass with 1:16 left for a 21-14 lead.
However, the Panthers used a pair of big plays to move down the field quickly in the final minute and found themselves knocking on TSU's door. It came down to one final play on the 17-yard line for both teams and PVAMU stole the win as the receiver broke free for a reception in the middle of the endzone.
TSU is back in axction at Cal on Saturday at 5 p.m. CST.
