Charleston Southern ends 14-game skid with late touchdown to beat SC State 31-24
Baldwin's 10-yard run capped a six-play, 65-yard drive for the Buccaneers' first win since beating Furman 24-20 on Sept. 7, 2024. They went 1-11 last season and had the longest losing streak in FCS.
Champ Brantley went 64 yards with a fumble just a minute before halftime for a 21-14 lead.
The Buccaneers had a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter but the Bulldogs were marching for their third-straight touchdown when Tyler Smith took a swing pass out of the backfield, but lost the ball into the air when he was submarined, and the ball floated to Brantley.
Zolten Osborne was 13-of-28 passing for 198 yards with an interception and a touchdown for the Buccaneers (1-4). Quay Kindell had the 38-yard receiving touchdown to open the scoring and Chris Rhone had five catches for 106 yards. Baldwin's 26-yard scoring run made it 14-0.
Ryan Stubblefield had a pair of short touchdown runs to cap long drives in the second quarter for the Bulldogs (2-3). He was 18-of-24 for 194 yards passing and ran for 80. Smith ran for 85 yards and a touchdown to tie the game at 21 midway through the third quarter.
The teams traded field goals in the fourth quarter.
