CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Zolten Osborne threw for 280 yards, David Portu blocked a field-goal attempt with 10 seconds left and Charleston Southern held on after scoring the last 14 points inside the final six minutes to beat Eastern Illinois 17-16 on Saturday.
Osborne connected with Rashawn Cunningham on a 5-yard score to pull Charleston Southern to 16-10 with 5:49 left. The Buccaneers forced a three-and-out and then took the lead when Hakeem Watters scored on a 1-yard run. The six-play drive was highlighted by Osborne’s 43-yard pass to Watters.
Cole LaCrue led the Panthers to the Charleston Southern 19 before Portu blocked Drew Schiller’s 35-yard field-goal try.
Osborne completed 26 of 38 passes without an interception. Mekhi Campfield and Cunningham combined for 11 catches for 157 yards for Charleston Southern (3-6, 2-3 OVC-Big South).
LaCrue threw for 123 yards including a 23-yard touchdown pass to Joe McNab for Eastern Illinois (3-5, 2-3 OVC-Big South).
