CULLOWHEE, N.C. -- Tyrie Adams threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score and Western Carolina held on in the final seconds to beat Samford 38-34 in a Southern Conference opener on Saturday.

Following a 30-minute weather delay, Samford's Kelvin McKnight pulled down a high Devlin Hodges pass for a touchdown and the Bulldogs (2-2, 0-1) took a 34-31 lead with 3:22 remaining. The Catamounts answered with a 75-yard drive capped by a Newsome touchdown run to put them back up 38-34 with 1:33 left and then thwarted a final Samford push at the goal line in the final seconds, preserving the win.
