Elon, N.C. (AP) Owen Johnson lifted Elon to its eighth-straight victory with a 26-yard field goal in the second overtime to edge Towson 33-30 on Saturday.

Davis Cheek went 20 of 33 for 271 yards and connected with Tre Marsh for an 8-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter to give Elon its first lead of the game, 14-10.

Towson (3-6, 1-5) fell behind 27-10 but rallied in the fourth quarter with two quick touchdowns followed by a short field goal by Aidan O'Neill to tie it with 1:20 left and force overtime. Both teams hit field goals with their opening overtime drives.

Towson's Ryan Stover had 303 yards passing, threw two touchdown passes and caught a touchdown from wide receiver Jabari Allen.
