HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) _ Darryl Shelton passed for 235 yards and two touchdowns Saturday as Arkansas-Pine Bluff defeated Alabama A&M 23-17 Saturday.

Trailing 17-10 in the third quarter, Macklin had led the Bulldogs on a nine-play, 67-yard drive, capped by Travoris Nunn's 7-yard touchdown run that made it 17-17. On their next possession, the Bulldogs drove to the Arkansas-Pine Bluff 17, but the drive stalled and Macklin threw incomplete on a fourth-and-13 play from the 25.

With about seven minutes left, Arkansas-Pine Bluff needed just four plays to score the game-winning touchdown. Shelton found Kevin Soward, who had gotten behind cornerback Brian Johnson, for a 44-yard gain down to the Alabama A&M 1. D.D. Shepherd scored one play later.

Macklin gained 87 yards on 18 carries.
