DANVILLE, Ky. — Winning their 19th-consecutive regular-season game would take everything the Vikings had in Danville, Ky. on Saturday night, as the No. 17 Berry College football team escaped with a 38-35 overtime victory over Centre to improve to 4-0 on the season.
Berry now sits at 2-0 in the Southern Athletic Association (SAA) joining Millsaps College as the only remaining undefeated team in the league. The win also evened the all-time series with the Centre Colonels at three games apiece.
The Vikings are now 5-1 in program history in overtime contests.

- The offense wasted no time clicking, as Tate Adcock found TJ Ciresi for a 17-yard touchdown pass on the Vikings' opening possession. Berry led 7-0.
- On Centre's second possession of the game, Tanner Young fumbled the snap in the end zone. Berry's Randall Booker jumped on the loose ball for another Vikings touchdown. Berry took a 14-0 lead.
- Centre answered, stringing together an eight-play, 72-yard scoring drive. The Vikings' lead was cut to 14-7.
