Florida A&M Defeats N. Carolina A&T 31-27

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) ― LeRoy Vann's punt return for a score tied two NCAA records to lead Florida A&M to a 31-27 win over North Carolina A&T on Saturday.

Vann's 51-yard touchdown on a punt return in the third quarter was the senior's fifth of the season and his eighth career punt return for a score. He tied both the NCAA single-season and career records, along with setting the Football Championship Subdivision record for career returns.

The record-setting return gave Florida A&M (7-2, 5-1 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) a 31-21 lead that they wouldn't relinquish in the final frame. Vann finished with 81 punt return yards and 51 yards on kickoff returns.

Lewis Kindle threw two touchdown passes and scored on a 7-yard run for North Carolina A&T (5-5, 3-4).

Florida A&M won despite committing six turnovers, missing two field goals and having another kick blocked.
