Conque, who rushed for 51 yards, scored from the 1 for a 21-13 lead with 6:14 left in the third. SFA quickly added another touchdown when Johnson scored from the 1.

The victory ended SFA’s 12 road-game losing streak.

Johnson is now SFA’s all-time career touchdown leader with 42. Jordan Wiggs kicked six extra points to become the school’s all-time leading scorer with 304 points.
