Troy is goign to get to throw a hail mary, smart decision by them. They will either score, or the game will go to OT.

If I was Blakeney, I would have called timeout with about 9 seconds left in regulation on the +48. Then with S. Miss defending the Hail Mary, thrown a ball about 20-25 yards down the field on 4th down, telling the receiver to go down right away. If it's completed, the clock would have stopped in time for a spike and a 40 to 45 yard FG attempt. If Troy's 4th down pass was incomplete, Southern Miss would have had about 4 seconds left - only time to throw a Hail Mary from their own 48, not enough time to complete a 20-yard pass and get their own FG attempt.
