Jackson State holds off Florida A&M, 18-16 in odd finish

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Christian Jacquemin 's late field goal and Florida A&M's poor clock management gave Jackson State an 18-16 victory in a penalty-filled game on Saturday night. The Rattlers' Ryan Stanley dropped back to pass and fumbled the ball when he was blindsided on a big hit by linebacker Quedarrion Barnett at midfield. Jacquemin's field goal on the ensuing series put Jackson State on top, 18-16. The Rattlers then drove inside the Jackson State 10-yard line, but the drive stalled when the Tigers blocked the go-ahead field goal with 3:48 remaining. Florida A&M forced a punt and had the ball on its own 36-yard line with 1:09 left. Stanley later threw a pass to Marcus Williams , and Williams tiptoed along the sideline but was knocked out of bounds at the Tigers 2.
