MURRAY, Ky. - KD Humphries threw for 297 yards and six touchdowns and tossed the game-winning 7-yard touchdown pass in double overtime to lead Murray State (2-4, 1-2) to a thrilling 44-41 victory over No. 23 Southeast Missouri (4-3, 2-1) Saturday at Stewart Stadium.

Ryan McCrum kicked a 30-yard field goal to give Southeast a 41-38 edge at the start of the second overtime possession.

MSU responded by getting to the Redhawks 7-yardline before Humphries' big play on third down. Janawski Davis caught the ball in heavy traffic to give the Racers their first Ohio Valley Conference win.

"They made one more play than we did and that was the difference in the game," said Southeast head coach Tom Matukewicz. "The difference between winning and losing is really small. We just have to do a better job of controlling the things we can control."

Before the dramatic finish, Southeast forced a second overtime period when McCrum booted a 52-yard field goal after MSU sacked Kyle Snyder for a loss of 13. It marked McCrum's third field goal over 50 yards in four games.

The Racers scored on their first possession of the game when Humphries threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Nevar Griffin. Griffin's TD capped a 4-play, 39-yard strike in 1:19 to give MSU a 7-0 advantage with 10:54 in the first quarter.
 
Eriq Moore's second interception of the season resulted in Southeast's first points which came on a 21-yard field goal by McCrum. Snyder picked up a first down on a 20-yard rush and later completed an 8-yard pass to DeMichael Jackson.
 
After that play, Jackson ran for five yards on three carries to get Southeast to the 4-yardline before McCrum's kick narrowed the Racers lead to 7-3 with 1:31 on the clock.
 
Following a MSU punt, the Redhawks began their next drive at their own 34-yardline and used a 33-yard completion from Snyder to Ron Coleman to get inside the Racers-15.
 
Snyder then threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Adrian Davis who made a great catch and stayed inbounds. Davis' first career touchdown gave Southeast its first lead at 10-7 with 12:48 left in the second quarter.
 
MSU faced a 3^rd-and-10 -- after the Redhawks defense made two nice plays -- when Humphries hooked up with Davis for a 75-yard touchdown to quickly regain a 14-10 lead for the Racers. That score came in only 50 seconds.
 
McCrum, who missed a field goal for the first time this season when his 46-yard attempt sailed wide left, later made a 28-yard kick to pull Southeast within a point (14-13) at halftime.
 
Five plays into MSU's opening drive of the second half, Humphries threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Griffin, pushing the Racers lead to 21-13. Griffin's touchdown came in 55 seconds.
 
Tim Hamm-Bey blocked Zach Bogard's punt that wound up going out of bounds at the Southeast-44.
 
An 11-yard completion from Snyder to Peter Lloyd and a 22-yard pass from Snyder to Darrius Darden-Box moved the Redhawks into the red zone. Snyder finished off the drive with an 11-yard run and Jackson completed the 2-point conversion to tie the game at 21-21 with 2:07 remaining in the third quarter.
 
MSU answered right back with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Humphries to DeQavious Walker that ended a 5-play, 75-yard drive. Humphries' fourth passing touchdown gave the Racers a 28-21 lead with 28 seconds left.
 
Lloyd returned the ensuing kickoff 31 yards to the MSU 38-yardline and then caught Snyder's 9-yard pass in the end zone to bring the game to its second tie at 28-28 with 13:22 left in the fourth quarter.
 
Southeast made a big defensive play during the Racers next possession when Roper Garrett sacked Humphries. Garrett's hard hit jarred the ball loose and Jon Slania recovered at the Redhawks-41.
 
The Redhawks capitalized on the turnover by chewing up 7:49 of clock time and keeping their go-ahead drive alive with a huge fourth down conversion.
 
On 4^th-and-1 at the MSU-11, Coleman moved the chains when he picked up a first down with a 2-yard rush. Snyder threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Davis. Davis' second TD gave Southeast its first lead at 35-28 at the 3:09 mark.
 
MSU, however, countered by marching 80 yards in 10 plays to send the game to overtime.
 
The Racers got to the Southeast-16 where they faced a 4^th-and-2. After the Redhawks called timeout, Pokey Harris ran for a first down at the 13-yardline. Moments later, Humphries threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Griffin, knotting the score at 35-35 with 46 seconds left.

MSU and Southeast traded field goals on the first three overtime possessions before Humphries' game-winner.

Humphries completed 21-of-36 passes on the day. Griffin added a game-high 141 yards and three touchdowns on nine receptions to lead MSU, as well.

Jackson ran for 104 yards on 21 carries and averaged five yards per rush in his first game back since breaking his left hand in the third quarter at Kansas on Sept. 6.

Snyder threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another. He completed 18-of-31 passes for 241 yards and ran for 75 yards on 21 carries. Snyder is now tied for 10th in career touchdown passes (19) at Southeast. His 13 touchdown passes tie for eighth on the Redhawks single-season list.

McCrum chipped in 15 points on three PATs and four field goals, despite missing kicks from 46 and 43 yards out.

Lloyd made six receptions for 81 yards and Davis followed with four catches.

Ron Davis turned in a career-high 15 tackles for the Redhawks defense, his second-straight double-digit tackle effort.

Southeast dropped to 3-21 all-time against MSU in Murray. Each of the last four matchups between these rivals have been decided by no more than seven points. The Redhawks and Racers played multiple overtimes for the second year in a row.

The Redhawks return home to host Eastern Illinois on Oct. 18.
