Thread: Forde-Yard Dash: Best Finish of The Season

  1. UL Football Forde-Yard Dash: Best Finish of The Season

    The Georgia Southern vs Louisiana game produced three epic scoring plays in the final minute, further enhancing the entertainment value of the Sun Belt and further extending the Ragin’ Cajuns’ spectacular start to the season.

    The final sequence started when Georgia Southern quarterback Shai Werts threw into the end zone for receiver Khaleb Hood, who ran a streak route out of the slot. The ball looked like it might be overthrown, but the 5' 10" Hood extended his right hand to pull it in, then absorbed a hit and held on for the touchdown with 54 seconds left. It was Hood’s first college touchdown catch.

    That cut No. 19 Louisiana’s lead to a point, 17–16, and the Eagles opted to go for the win right then. Werts dropped back to pass, found his first option covered, then found a Louisiana lineman lunging at his legs. Werts pirouetted away, put a hand down to keep from falling, rose up, scrambled right and fired a dart on the run to Darion Anderson for an 18–17 lead.

    It looked like that might be enough for a major upset. Louisiana mounted a last-gasp drive that made it to the Georgia Southern 36-yard line, and at that point you wouldn’t have blamed Billy Napier if he opted for a Hail Mary throw into the end zone instead of a field goal.

    Kicker Nate Snyder, a graduate transfer from Indiana who had mostly handled kickoffs with the Hoosiers, had made just two of six field goals on the season—and that included a miss from 34 yards earlier in the game.

    But Napier gave Snyder the chance, and he blasted the kick through from 53 yards out with room to spare on the final play.

    This guy pays attention to detail. Does he vote in the AP poll?

    He had 1998 instead of 1988. But did you notice what game number it was??? 36!!! Snyder #36 ball was on the 36.

    Thanks coach ��
