In the Golden Rams’ 13-12 come-from-behind victory over Morehouse College on Oct. 23, Jennings completed 19 of 31 passes for 202 yards, including the game-winning five-yard pass with 18 seconds on the clock.  He also led the Golden Rams in rushing with 73 yards on 15 carries, including a 12-yard TD run.
