DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Brandon Gilliam kicked four field goals and Alabama State Hornets held on to edge Bethune-Cookman Wildcats 26-21 on Saturday in the Southwest Athletic Conference opener for both teams.
After kicks from 49, 28 and 37 yards, Gilliam connected from 23 yards to make it 26-7 with 11:29 to play.
The Hornets (2-2) led 10-0 when Ajai Harrell scored on a 1-yard plunge and 23-7 when he caught a 4-yard pass from Zach Sims.
