ABILENE, Texas (AP) De'Andre Brown ran for 132 yards and three touchdowns, including the 20-yard game winner with 5:59 remaining in the game, helping Abilene Christian to a 35-32 victory over Stephen F Austin on Saturday.

Abilene Christian (2-1, 2-0 Southland Conference) lost a 27-12 late third quarter lead but rallied late to pull out the win.

The Lumberjacks were led by Conque's 272 yards and three TD's.
