LA GRANDE, Ore. -- Eastern Oregon scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to rally past No. 22-ranked Carroll College 28-26 in Frontier Conference football action Saturday.
The Fighting Saints had a 20-14 lead going to the fourth behind three touchdowns -- one rushing and two passing -- from Devan Bridgewater. Trailing 28-20, Bridgewater led the Carroll offense down the field, capping the drive with his third TD pass of the game with eight seconds left to bring the Saints within 28-26.
