GREENSBORO, N.C. - Justin Brannon ran for two touchdowns, including a last-minute 2-yard scramble, that gave Bethune-Cookman a 24-20 come-from-behind win against North Carolina A&T on Saturday.

Brannon ran 23 yards for his first score early in a second quarter, and the Wildcats (3-5, 1-4 Mid-Eastern Athletic) cruised to a 17-0 lead a few minutes later on a 50-yard pass from Jimmie Russell to Corey Council.

That's when the Aggies (0-9, 0-5) began fighting back, capping the half with a 28-yard field goal that got them on the board at halftime, 17-3.

A&T blazed into the second half, scoring on a 40-yard fumble recovery by Joseph Taylor less than five minutes in, then closing the deficit to 17-14 on a 30-yard field goal by Eric Houston.

MORGAN STATE 14, FLORIDA A&M 12: Byron Selby hit Roderick Wolfe for a 9-yard TD pass to lift host Morgan State (5-4, 4-2 Mid-Eastern Athletic) to a narrow win against Florida A&M (2-6, 1-4).

The Rattlers got a 24-yard TD run by Philip Sylvester and field goals by Wesley Taylor (Riverview) from 45 and 33 yards for their scores. Sylvester ran for 71 yards on 18 carries.

ARKANSAS 58, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 10: Darren McFadden scored on four short runs, and host Arkansas took advantage of seven turnovers by Florida International for an easy victory.

The Golden Panthers (0-8) lost their 20th straight game. They turned the ball over three times in the first quarter, each time giving Arkansas (5-3) possession inside the FIU 35-yard line.

McFadden, last year's Heisman Trophy runner-up, rushed for only 61 yards. All of his TDs were from 3 yards or closer. Felix Jones ran for 89 yards and a TD.

The Razorbacks were playing their third Sun Belt Conference foe of the year.

LOUISIANA-MONROE 33, FLORIDA ATLANTIC 30: Calvin Dawson scored two TDs, including the game-winner in triple overtime, as Louisiana-Monroe (3-5, 3-2 Sun Belt) defeated host Florida Atlantic (4-4, 3-1).

DRAKE 42, JACKSONVILLE 14: Scott Phaydavong rushed for 208 yards, including two TDs, as host Drake (6-3, 3-2 Pioneer) came from behind to beat Jacksonville (2-6, 1-4).

EDWARD WATERS 24, SAVANNAH STATE 7: Kamau Leitner threw for 176 yards and two TDs to lead Edward Waters (4-5) past host Savannah State (1-7).
