Missed extra point gives New Hampshire 24-23 win over Maine
DURHAM, N.H. -- Trevor Knight threw for 149 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another 79 yards as New Hampshire sneaked past Maine 24-23 in the Colonial Athletic Association opener Thursday night.
New Hampshire led 24-17 when Maine's Chris Ferguson, who finished with 239 yards and three scores, hit Jason Simonovich on a 4-yard scoring strike with 9:07 left in the game. Kenny Doak was wide left on the PAT.
The Black Bears had the ball on their own 21 with 2:45 left and drove to the New Hampshire 45, but Quinlen Dean picked off a fourth-down desperation pass with 35 seconds left to secure the win.
Malik Love caught five passes for 96 yards and a score for the Wildcats.
New Hampshire won its eighth straight in the series. A year ago Morgan Ellman kicked a field goal with 7 seconds left for a 24-21 win.
