SMITHFIELD, R.I. (AP) — Myles Burkett threw two touchdown passes to Seven McGee, including the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, and Albany defeated Bryant 24-17. Burkett hit McGee on a 5-yard scoring play that gave the Great Danes a 17-10 lead with 10:43 remaining. Jojo Uga made it a two-touchdown game when he punched it in from the 1 with 1:07 left. It was a two-play, six-yard drive after the Bulldogs turned it over on downs inside their own 10. The extra cushion proved necessary after Bryant drove 75 yards and scored on a 21-yard pass from Jarrett Guest to Drew Montez with 6 seconds left. The Bulldogs recovered their onside kick but Guest’s final heave was broken up by Marcus Winfield.
