Well at least there is some football tonight even though it doesn't feature powerhouse teams. You never know, it could be a good game.

Troy 24, CMU 19

end of 3rd

 

[sandgk]

There is now less than 4:22 to go. Troy is up by 5 points and CMU driving.
Just gave up 5 yards, then got a big play to stay alive.
MAC still hoping not to go winless.

 

[Jake]

CMU rallies from 12 down in the 4th to lead 34-31 with just over 1 minute to play.

M-A-C! M-A-C!

CMU scores with 1:17 remaining on what will be debated til the end of time by Troy fans as a trapped ball, but the catch was upheld by replay. Gets the 2-pt conversion to make it 34-31.

Now don't kick it off out of bounds.

 

[Dryden]

... and don't give up a 32-yard kickoff return.

 

[sandgk]

Worth mentioning that Troy, three minutes earlier, led 19-31.
CMU's comeback was keyed by a 95 yard KO return to take them within striking distance.
As I type this CMU gets the lead on a clock draining drive, capped by a 2 point conversion to make it a 3 point differential.
Troy returned the kick off beyond the 30.

 

[Dryden]

Troy down to the CMU 29 in 19 seconds. CMU playing prevent (the win).

Troy might score a TD.....

LaFever is going to be a good NFL Qb one day.

 

[Tonyank]

NICE HIT!!!! popped him good

 

[Tonyank]

46 yd FGA...............................to tie the game.

 

[Dryden]

That was PI. CMU gets away with one. Troy lines up for a 46-yard FG to tie.
