PEMBROKE — Rashon Kennedy rushed for 105 yards on 18 carries and Jamal Williams scored the go-ahead touchdown to lead Division II UNC-Pembroke to a 21-9 upset of Championship Series member Davidson in its home opener.

Quarterbacks Garrett Sutphen and Cory Smith each threw a touchdown pass, and Williams added 30 yards for the Braves (2-0). UNC-Pembroke outgained the Wildcats 202-47 on the ground, and 324-284 overall.

Davidson quarterback Ryan Alexander threw for 237 yards on 28-of-38 passing, but was intercepted three times. He also was sacked four times.

Davidson scored first on Chad Barnes' 1-yard touchdown run and a 47-yard field goal that gave the Wildcats (0-1) a 9-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

But Sutphen, who threw for a team-leading 75 yards on 10-of-12 passing, tossed a 3-yard score to Keith Gore to make it 9-7 going into halftime.

The Braves didn't look back, adding a 7-yard scoring run from Williams and a 10-yard pass from Smith to Brandon McLaurin for the only points in the second half.
