College Football, Western Carolina Catamounts, VMI Keydets

CULLOWHEE, N.C. -- Tyrie Adams threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to Terryon Robinson with 54 seconds to play to lift Western Carolina to a 32-29 win over VMI on Saturday.

The Catamounts (2-7, 1-6 Southern Conference) went 80 yards in five plays after Tahjai Watt blocked a 34-yard field goal attempt by Dillon Christopher of the Keydets (3-6, 1-5) with 1:37 left in the game.

Adams completed four of five passes on the final possession and hit Spearman Robinson for a 2-point conversion.

On the final possession, a Trey Morgan interception was wiped out by a personal foul penalty that moved the ball to midfield. Another penalty put the ball at the WCU 35, but on third down Morgan intercepted Austin Coulling again at the Catamounts' 11 with 15 seconds to play.

Adams finished 21 of 31 for 207 yards for Western Carolina and Detrez Newsome ran for 111 yards.

Coulling was 18 of 25 for 261 yards but was intercepted three times. Daz Palmer ran for 136 yards and a touchdown.
