FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina -- Kasunn Williams couldn't watch.Huddled on the Fayetteville State sideline, the Broncos junior wide receiver had his head buried in his hands as Virginia State's Shawn Hunt lined up a 30-yard field goal with less than two seconds left Saturday night.
When he finally looked up, the Trojans were sprinting down the field in celebration while the Fayetteville State sideline was in stunned silence. Hunt had made the kick, giving Virginia State a wild 29-28 season opening CIAA victory.
"I was hoping he was going to miss it, praying he was going to miss it," Williams said.
Early in the second half, Fayetteville State led 28-8 and looked as if it would deliver new coach Lawrence Kershaw a victory in his first game. But an epidemic of self-inflicted wounds - the Broncos had a total of 189 yards in penalties - and a resurgent Trojans running game - they tallied 217 yards on the ground - brought Virginia State back within striking distance.
