Benjamin Anderson scored three of his five touchdowns in the final quarter as Arkansas-Pine Bluff came back to beat Grambling 45-42 on Saturday.

Leading 38-34, Arkansas-Pine Bluff (2-7, 2-5) forced a three-and-out from the Tigers offense before the Golden Lions scored on a six play, 55-yard drive, on which Anderson rushed for 41 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown.
