The Indians delivered early in the fourth quarter, continuing their ground attack. Running back Kashun Coney powered his way into the end zone for a 2-yard rushing touchdown. While the ensuing 2-point attempt failed, the Indians had cut the Hornets’ lead to 14-12, signaling that the game was far from over.
