RJ Johnson III strikes last for Florida A&M in 26-23 win over Alabama A&M

RJ Johnson III threw three touchdown passes, the last of which provided the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, and Florida A&M defeated Alabama A&M 26-23 on Saturday in a game that saw six lead changes.

Johnson connected with Jalen Rogers for a 27-yard touchdown that gave the Rattlers (5-5, 4-2 SWAC) the final lead with 8:50 remaining in the game.
