We won today 23-19!!!
I feel so great right now! This team kicked our ass last year, the score was 44-7 (44-0 at halftime) Today we scored the winning TD with 12 seconds left!
I had my best game of the season. I had 4 catches, and an INT!! My pick came towards the end of the first half. I layed out and caught it on our 1 yd line. I thought it should've been a touchback, but we got it on the one.
We were losing at halftime 12-10.
We were down 19-17 with 2:09 left in the 4th quarter. We had just gotten the ball back after stopping them on 3 downs (and using all our TOs) and forcing punt (I definitely had to fair catch it). We had it on our 18 yd line. Our QB rolled out and hit me on wheel pattern for about 30 yds. Then he threw to the TE and then the other WR. We had the ball on the opponents 21 yd line. The QB rolls out, and then throws back across his body towards the middle of the field. The pass was intended for me, but he didn't get enough on it... INT!
So they have it on their own 6 yd line with 57 seconds left, and we have no timeouts. Our stands were starting to empty, everyone thought the game was over. I have to admit even I thought it was over. So they're lined up in QB kneel formation, but they're Tackle false started. Now they're on the 3. The QB kneels and now they're on the 2. Then, trying to milk the clock, they are called with a delay of game. So now they're on the 1 yd line with the clock stopped at 16 seconds left. We're thinking of trying to get a safety to force OT, but that still was unlikely because all the QB had to do was fall forwards and the game would be over. But then...
The ball was snapped. Our DT got such a great push that he knocked their guard into the QB. The guard bumped into his own QB's arm and he fumbled! The ball went backwards into the endzone! The other CB ran in and picked it up untouched! We all went absolutely crazy! We got a 15 yd penalty because everyone on the sideline ran on the field, but we didn't care.
We kicked off and they got it on the 48 yd line. Their first hail mary went incomplete, the second was knocked down by our safety! Game Over! We win 23-19!!!
We celebrated like crazy afterwards. Our student section all ran on the field to celebrate with us. The cheerleaders ran out, I found my gf and she jumped into my arms! I gave our mascot a big high five. It was great, wonderful, awesome!
Now I'm going to the homecoming dance tonight. I can't even imagine how much fun that's going to be. I'm going to get jiggy wit it. (By the way, my gf didn't win queen)
