BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Andy Summerlin threw for a touchdown and passed for the two-point conversion to tie the game at 17-all as time expired in regulation, then hit Kelsey Pope on a 12-yard scoring pass in the second overtime to lead Samford to a 24-17 victory over Wofford on Saturday.

Both teams missed field goals in the first overtime, and Wofford fumbled the ball away in the second OT.
