American International College football team rides its defense to a 17-14 victory over Bentley

SPRINGFIELD – On a day in which the offense struggled to move the ball consistently, the American International College football team needed its defense to step up.

While the defense didn’t quite shut down the visitors from Bentley University on Saturday, the damage was limited. AIC intercepted Bentley quarterback Bryant Johnson five times - three in the fourth quarter - and gave the offense one last chance.

Senior quarterback Rob Parent found tight end Trevor Perryman over the middle for a 17-yard touchdown pass with 3:48 remaining, as the Yellow Jackets downed the Falcons 17-14 at Robert J. Abdow Field.

AIC finally exhaled when Paul Branco missed a potential game-tying 42-yard field goal with a minute remaining.

“All camp, it’s been on our shoulders,” AIC senior linebacker Terrence Holley said of the defense’s role on a team with a young offense. “We finally came together today and played 60 minutes of complete football.”
