PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — Ty'ray Davis threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and West Florida won its first-ever Division I FCS contest upsetting Southern Illinois 34-31 on Thursday night.
West Florida only started playing football a decade ago, and at the Division II level won the national championship in 2019.
In the season opener for both teams, the Argonauts built a 27-9 and held on against the Salukis, ranked No. 16 in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25.
The Salukis scored their first touchdown when Jake Curry connected with Kyle Thomas from 18 yards out. The two-point conversion reduced the deficit to 27-17 with 2:19 left in the third.
Later, after an Argonauts turnover, Curry ran it in from 19 to reduce the deficit to 27-24 with 7:39 remaining.
