Symons Get PT
Junior quarterback B.J. Symons replaced Kliff Kingsbury in the third quarter and threw a touchdown pass in his first drive to Dupree Scovell. The touchdown pass was the third of his career and two of those TD passes have come to a Scovell brother (King Scovell in 2001 and Dupree Scovell today).
