LORMAN, Miss. (AP) - Hunter Hanson kicked a 37-yard field goal in the fifth overtime period to give Alabama State a 28-25 win over Alcorn State on Saturday.

Davis threw a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter, one to Joe Williams and the other to Michael Jefferson, and the Braves led 14-7 at halftime.
De’Shawn Waller ran for 214 yards and two touchdowns for the Braves (4-2, 3-1), including one early in the fourth quarter that tied the game 14-all, setting up the first overtime period.
