ST. CHARLES, Mo. -- , Draylen Ellis threw for a touchdown pass and Tevin Carter ran for two scores and Tennessee State rallied to beat Lindenwood 24-20 on Saturday.

At its own 20 with 56 seconds remaining, on a designed quarterback draw, Nate Glantz ran for 11 yards and coughed it up after getting hit. The Tennessee State (4-2, 2-1 Big South-OVC) defense pitched a second-half shutout after Lindenwood (2-4, 1-1) built a 20-7 halftime lead. Ellis threw a 74-yard scoring pass to CJ Evans near the midway point of the third quarter and James Lowery added a 40-yard field goal near the end of it to reduce the deficit to four. Carter's 1 yard run with 7:21 was the go-ahead score. After the Tigers started the game with a three-and-out, Glantz threw a 34-yard scoring pass to Jeff Caldwell .
