Austin Peay Governors Football late rally comes up short in Homecoming loss to Southeast MissouriAPSU Sports: Austin Peay Football
Trailing 38-7 late in the third quarter, Saturday afternoon in Governors Stadium, Austin Peay State University’s football team had erased a large part of its 31-point deficit. With the score 41-27 and the Govs sitting on the Southeast Missouri two-yard line with a little less than 3:30 left in the game, Jake Ryan handed off to Reco Williams-one of the central figures in the Govs comeback. ![]() APSU’s Reco Williams goes 26 yards for a touchdown early in the 4th Quarter against Southeast Missouri. Austin Peay Governors Football. The loss was APSU’s 10th straight defeat and 12th consecutive OVC defeat as the Govs fell to 0-8 overall and 0-6 in the league. It also was the fourth straight homecoming contest the Governors have dropped. The 27 points were the most scored by the Governors this season.
After slumbering through a first half, the Governors rode the legs of Williams, the arm of Ryan and the hands of Devin Stark in the final 20 minutes in a furious rally. Ryan completed 19 of 31 second-half passes for 242 yards and two TDs, while Stark caught eight passes for 136 passes and two TDs. Williams bowled over SEMO defenders for 81 of his 133 rushing yards.
It was Lathrop’s first-quarter 67-yard touchdown run that literally set the game’s tone. After SEMO drove 72 yards on 14 plays on its opening drive, it was the second possession that helped established the Redhawks’ offensive line dominance. Under pressure while passing, Lathrop ran left and the 5-10 quarterback just dodged past Govs defenders before racing the last 40 yards into the end zone.
Lathrop finished the night with 179 rushing yards-he completed just 2 of 9 passes-while tailback Levi Terrell made it four straight 100-yard rushing performances with 137 yards on 26 carries, including a pair of TDs. Govs’ sophomore safety Johnathan Shuler finished with 19 tackles, including two for loss. It was the most tackles by a Gov since Daniel Becker had 19 against Tennessee State in 2007. Box Score
