Miles 19, Clark Atlanta 16

Atlanta, Georgia -- A homecoming victory for Clark Atlanta University in front of a crowd of more than 20,000, was conceivable until Miles College’s kicker Patton Chambers’ 18-yard field goal with 23 seconds remaining in the game lifted the Golden Bears over CAU 19-16 Saturday at Panther Stadium.

Anderson Davis put Clark Atlanta (2-4, SIAC 2-2) on the board first with a three-yard touchdown run in the second quarter which gave the Panthers a slim advantage. Miles (3-3, SIAC 2-1) then tied the game with its own one-yard rushing touchdown by quarterback David Thomas. A 7-7 tie remained at the half.



Running back Rashad Lewis’ three-yard run put the Panthers ahead 13-6, before a Miles safety by Alexander Morris made it a four-point game, 13-9, in the third quarter.

Miles struck early in the fourth quarter with a 10-yard pass from David Thomas to K.C. Logan that gave the Golden Bears their first lead of the game at 16-13. But the Panthers orchestrated a 64-yard drive on its next possession which led to a Kemuel Lawrence 30-yard field goal conversion that knotted the game at 16.

A 38-yard reception by Vondragu Hudson moved the Golden Bears to the Panthers four-yard line with 58 seconds remaining, and Chambers’ chip shot from the one-yard sealed the road win for Miles.
