SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) Kevin Thomas tackled Aaron Miller on the 1-yard line as time ran out Saturday, preserving Wofford's 17-13 win over The Citadel.

Evan Jacks rushed 22 times for 141 yards and two touchdowns, including the winner for Wofford (4-2, 2-0) in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Jacks completed all three of his passes for 18 yards. The Terries were hurt by three lost fumbles.

After going 7 of 13 for 57 yards on the final drive, Miller finished 9 of 19 for 97 yards. Cam Jackson had an 11 yard TD run in the third quarter and Eric Goins had 28- and 35-yard field goals.
