Bowie State Holds off Chowan U. to Steal Road Victory

MURFREESBORO, North Carolina  --  Chowan University scored 15 unanswered points during most of the fourth quarter, but Bowie State University (BSU) redshirt sophomore Keith Brown rushed for a 57 yard touchdown with 39 seconds left to lift the Bulldogs to a thrilling 35-31 victory on Oct. 6 in Murfreesboro, N.C.

Brown finished the game with a career-high 132 rushing yards and two touchdowns to lead Bowie State. The victory snapped a two game losing streak and improved the Bulldogs’ record to 4-2 (1-2 CIAA).

Chowan missed a great opportunity to score early when they fumbled deep in Bowie State territory on their opening drive. Bowie State was unable to capitalize and turned the ball back over to Chowan on downs.

Chowan’s third red zone trip finally resulted a positive result, when junior quarterback Cameron Stover rushed for an eight-yard touchdown with 1:20 left in the first quarter for the game's first six points. Alex Noboa added the extra point to give Chowan a 7-0 advantage. Stover completed eight of his 12 first quarter passes for 108 yards, but was intercepted once by BSU redshirt freshman Antoine Young.
