CULLOWHEE, N.C. -- — Jalynn Williams had two short touchdown runs, CJ Williams broke up a fourth-down pass with 45 seconds remaining and Western Carolina held off Wofford 21-17 on Saturday without spectators due to rescue and recovery efforts around the western North Carolina region.
WCU elected to attempt a 53-yard field goal on fourth-and-14 with 1:36 remaining but Paxton Robertson narrowly missed it to the right, setting up Wofford at its 36-yard line for a potential game-winning drive.
Pauly Seeley V ran for a 15-yard gain on first down and then completed a 3-yard pass to Dylan Djet. Seeley overthrew a wide-open receiver on third down and then tried to squeeze a pass to Rickie Shaw II over the middle that Williams batted to the ground in the closing seconds.
Western Carolina (2-3, 1-0 Southern Conference) has won four straight in the series.
Cole Gonzales was 29-of-39 passing for 257 yards with two interceptions for WCU. Branson Adams rushed for 84 of the Catamounts' 218 yards.
