Colton Phares intercepted a pass and returned it 21 yards to the JMU 14 with 6:03 to play and two plays later Henry Hasselbeck’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Luke Douglas gave the Mountaineers their first lead of the game at 31-24.
Camden Coleman was 22-of-39 passing for 232 yards with a touchdown and an interception and added a 6-yard rushing TD with 3 seconds left in regulation for JMU (7-1, 4-1).
On fourth-and-3, Coleman hit Jeremiah Harrison for 3-yard gain that made it first-and-goal from the 6 with 12 seconds to play and on the next play Coleman scored on a quarterback draw that made it 31-all with 3 seconds left in regulation and forced OT.
George Pettaway, who finished with 57 yards rushing and a touchdown on 15 carries, left the game due to an apparent left hamstring injury late in the fourth quarter and did not return. The North Carolina transfer had his string of four consecutive games with at least 100 yards rushing snapped.
