Updated: Oct. 04, 2023, 11:24 p.m.Quarterback Zion Webb rallied Jacksonville State past Middle Tennessee on Wednesday night. Jacksonville State pulled off its second straight stunning comeback on the road Wednesday night, overcoming a 16-point halftime deficit to beat Middle Tennessee 45-30 at Johnny “Red” Floyd Stadium in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Jax State’s Zion Webb replaced starting quarterback Logan Smothers in the second quarter, and went on to have a huge game off the bench. The senior — who began the season as the Gamecocks’ No. 1 QB — passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns and added 101 yards and a touchdown rushing. Jax State went to work after Kekoura Tarnue picked off Vattiato at the Middle Tennessee 40 early in the third quarter. Webb capped a six-play drive by throwing a 10-yard touchdown to tight end Sean Brown, making it a 23-14 game with 11:31 left in the third.
The Gamecocks weren’t done, however. After another Middle Tennessee State punt pinned JSU inside its 10, Webb ran for a 29-yard gain to the JSU 37, then Perry Carter turned a short pass into a 63-yard touchdown and a 31-23 score with 12:14 left in the game. Middle Tennessee scored the game’s final points moments later, when Terry Wilkins ran 75 yards to make it 45-30 with 3:29 left. Jax State missed a field goal with 1:03 left, but the Gamecocks kept the Blue Raiders off the board in the final minute.
