No. 11 Panthers rally for 24-21 win over Saginaw Valley State

CALEDONIA, Mich. – In one of the most dramatic endings in Davenport history, the Panthers drove 92 yards in 12 plays and quarterback Jason Whittaker called his own number on a 10-yard touchdown run with 11 seconds left on 4th-and-goal for a 24-21 win over Saginaw Valley State to remain undefeated at 8-0, 4-0 GLIAC. Down 21-9 with 9:22 remaining, Davenport took over the ball after an interception by Chris Thompson which set up the offense at the SVSU 17-yard line. The Panthers converted a 4th-and-1 at the SVSU 8-yard line on a push up the middle by Whittaker. On third-and-goal from the seven-yard line, Whittaker found Demetrius Garrett in the back of the end zone for the touchdown with 7:52 to play to make it 21-16.
