Trailing 10-0, the Scarlet team answered right before halftime when Collier connected with redshirt freshman receiver Terry McLaurin for a 35-yard touchdown as McLaurin went up and made a nice catch in the corner of the end zone.
Collier then found Parris Campbell in the third quarter for a 3-yard touchdown pass to put Scarlet ahead, 14-10.
Nick Conner, playing for the Gray team, led all players with seven tackles in the game. Conner also had an interception and a forced fumble.
