LORETTO, Pa. -- A.J. Hines had 256 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns and Duquesne scored two fourth-quarter scores to overtake St. Francis (Pennsylvania) 27-20 on Saturday.
Hines rushed up the middle, spun around a defender then went outside for a 37-yard touchdown and the game's final score with 6:52 to go.
