James did it all for CCSU’s offense during a 38-31 overtime victory over Saint Francis. Accounting for 177 yards, the versatile wide receiver gained 95 yards on six catches, rushed for 48 yards and completed a 34-yard pass. He scored two key second-half touchdowns, one on the ground and one through the air. James was responsible for the game’s first pass completion, executing a wide receiver option play on 2nd-and-6 and connecting with Jiovany Pierre 34 yards downfield. The versatile receiver found the end zone on a 48-yard rush that tied the score at 21-21 with 6:46 left in the third quarter. James struck again midway through the fourth quarter, securing a contested catch for a 15-yard touchdown that gave CCSU a 28-24 edge.
