CARROLLTON, Ga. (AP) — Davin Wydner threw two touchdown passes in the final six-and-a-half minutes and West Georgia rallied for an 18-17 win over Central Arkansas on Saturday.
Wydner threw a 22-yard score to Owen Dupree for the Wolves' (6-2, 3-2 United Athletic Conference) first touchdown of the game. The failed 2-point conversion reduced West Georgia's deficit to 17-12 with 6:38 left.
The Wolves' defense responded by holding Central Arkansas to minus-5 yards in five plays and forced the Bears to punt.
Wydner then led West Georgia on a six-play, 74-yard drive in which he went 5-for-5 passing for 71 yards. His 23-yard touchdown pass to Dupree were proceeded by completions of 18 and 21 yards in succession to Dupree to give West Georgia its first lead with 1:31 left.
Central Arkansas turned the ball over on downs and West Georgia let time expire.
Austin Myers threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Arlie Lee early in the second quarter with 12:39 before halftime for a 7-0 Bears' (2-5, 1-2) lead.
West Georgia got on the board four minutes later with a 33-yard field goal from Tommy Holden.
On the following drive, Myers helped lead another 11-play drive, this one for 75 yards, that ended with his 3-yard scoring pass to Malachi Henry for a 14-3 lead.
Myers threw for 190 yards and two touchdowns and Landen Chambers ran for 122 yards on 28 carries.
