Darius Perrantes, Duquesne beat Bryant on TD with 31 seconds left

Darius Perrantes passed for three touchdowns, ran for another and led the winning drive in the final two minutes as Duquesne battled past Bryant, 39-34, on Saturday.

The Dukes then survived a Hail Mary pass from Bryant that was completed but, after review, was ruled just short of a touchdown.

Duquesne (4-1, 2-0 Northeast Conference) had fallen behind 34-33 after consecutive Bryant touchdowns, but Perrantes, who completed 29 of 41 passes for 316 yards, rallied the Dukes with a 75-yard drive, including a 26-yard touchdown dart to Davie Henderson with 31 seconds remaining.

Zevi Eckhaus led back-to-back scoring drives for Bryant (3-3, 1-1) deep in the fourth quarter — with Daniel Adeboboye scoring each — as Bryant rallied briefly into a 34-33 lead with just under two minutes left.

Eckhaus, who was 25 of 44 for 311 yards and two touchdowns, threw to nine receivers without an interception. His game-ending 45-yard heave to David Zorilla was completed at the 1. Officials ruled he didn’t break the plane of the goal line.

Zorilla caught five passes for a career-high 115 yards, and Fabrice Mukendi gained a career-high 111 yards rushing for Bryant.
