NEW BRITAIN, Conn. – Greg McGhee threw for 216 yards and a touchdown and ran for three more scores, leading Howard to a 28-25 comeback victory over Central Connecticut State on Saturday.
McGhee also led all rushers with 119 yards for the Bison (4-7). His three running touchdowns came in the second half with Howard trailing 25-7. William Parker added 93 yards on 18 carries.
A 17-yard scoring strike from McGhee to Stewart Hartman early in the first quarter put Howard on the board first.
