FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina -- Fayetteville State receiver Tavon Gatlin sprinted across the goal line and pointed directly at former teammate Kasunn Williams, who had risen from his front-row seat in the end-zone bleachers.They embraced and engaged in a choreographed salute, making sure to celebrate that Williams' prediction of a three-touchdown performance had come true.
Thanks to a fourth-quarter outburst, the Broncos' big-picture goal is still attainable.
