HATTISBURG, Miss. (AP) — Steven Robinson ran for three touchdowns and Jamarice Wilder raced 16 yards for the winning touchdown with 58 seconds to play and Southern Miss pulled out a 35-31 win over Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday night.
Ja’Corian Norris returned the final kickoff 46 yards to near midfield but Lunch Winfield only had a 5-yard completion before throwing three incomplete passes and the Golden Eagles (2-5, 1-2 Sun Belt Conference) had the homecoming win.
Southern Miss pulled even at 28-all on a 30-yard interception return by Kolby Peavy five minutes into the fourth quarter. The Ragin’ Cajuns (5-3, 2-2) responded with a 17-play, 7-minute drive before having to settle for a short field goal with 2:51 to go.
Wilder, who had 154 yards on 13 carries, scored the winner to cap an eight-play, 75-yard drive less than 2 minutes later.
Robinson had 145 yards on 22 carries with three touchdowns in the first half, which finished at 21-21.
Winfield passed for 299 yards, completing 22 of 41. Trenton Chaney had a 4-yard receiving touchdown and Anthony Regan Jr. had a 31-yard TD catch.
