DJ Moyer ran for 82 yards on 15 carries and Zach Tanner ran for two touchdowns and Robert Morris held off Charleston Southern for a 14-12 win Saturday.
Tanner had early fourth-quarter scoring runs in a little more than a two-minute span of 1 and 25 yards to put the Colonials (4-6, 2-3 Big South-Ohio Valley Conference Association) ahead 14-6.
The first touchdown occurred with 13:51 remaining and ended a nine-play, 85-yard drive that lasted 4:15 starting late in the third quarter. After holding Charleston Southern (4-6, 2-3) to three-and-out, Tanner’s 25-yard scoring run concluded a five-play, 56-yard drive.
Charleston Southern responded with Isaiah Bess completing a 38-yard scoring pass to Noah Jennings to make it 14-12, but the 2-point conversion failed.
On its final possession, Charleston Southern advanced to its own 39-yard line from its 20 before being stopped on fourth down. Robert Morris took the ball and killed the clock.
Jennings finished with 204 yards receiving on eight receptions for Charleston Southern.
