Lindsey Scott throws five touchdowns, sets FCS scoring record as UIW hangs on to beat Furman
Incarnate Word running back Marcus Cooper - moves the ball down the field during the third quarter of Saturday’s NCAA playoff game against Furman at Tom Benson Stadium.Incarnate Word quarterback Lindsey Scott threw for five scores to set the FCS single-season record with 62 total touchdowns, including a 32-yard connection to Kole Wilson in the final two minutes to lift No. 7 seed UIW to a 41-38 win against Furman in the second round of the FCS playoffs Saturday at Benson Stadium.
Furman drove to UIW’s 32-yard line in search of a game-tying field goal before Elliott Davison snared an interception to secure the Cardinals’ win. For the season, Scott has 55 passing touchdowns and seven rushing scores, breaking the record of 61 touchdowns responsible for set by Willie Totten of Mississippi Valley State in 1984.
He found Chafin for an 80-yard scoring connection down the middle before the end of the first quarter, and the two linked up again for a 27-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. As UIW’s offense hit a rare rut, tallying just 28 yards in the third quarter after amassing 438 in the first half, Furman closed the gap. An 11-yard touchdown run by Tyler Huff pulled the Paladins within 31-24 late in the third quarter.
