TOWSON, Md. -- — Sean Brown threw a pair of touchdown passes and Branson Peters returned a fumble 78 yards for touchdown and Towson beat FCS 10th-ranked William & Mary 34-27 in a Coastal Athletic Association showdown Saturday night.
William & Mary tied the game at 13-13 as time expired in the first half when Eric Bernstein converted a 24-yard field goal, but Brown put the Tigers in front for good with a 16-yard touchdown pass to John Dunmore.
The Tribe drove to the Towson 11, but on first-and-10 CJ McClendon sacked Darius Wilson, stripping the ball loose for Peters to recover and race untouched for a touchdown to take a 27-13 lead.
Tyrell Greene Jr. added a three-yard touchdown run to make it 34-13 after three quarters. William & Mary scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns when Wilson caught a six yards touchdown pass from Hollis Mathis and Malachi Imoh bulled over from the 1 to set the final margin,
