AMHERST, Mass. -- True freshman Fred Payton came off the bench and threw two touchdowns to help rally Coastal Carolina to a 24-13 win against UMass on Saturday.
Payton was one of the three quarterbacks to play for Coastal Carolina and the Chanticleers (4-3, 1-2 Sun Belt) responded.
Andrew Ford threw a 22-yard touchdown to Sadiq Palmer with 4:57 left in the third quarter and UMass (2-6, 2-2) led 13-10. On its ensuing drive, Payton connected with Malcolm Williams for a 61-yard touchdown on a four-play drive that lasted a little more than two minutes.
