And the field goal to win the game is….
Before I give you the result, I should back up a little bit. Last week SOU’s football team played Menlo at home. SOU’s lead in that game evaporated in the 4th quarter, and we all went home unhappy.
This week’s game had carbon copy written all over it with SOU jumping out to a 13-0 lead against Western Oregon University. WOU came back and moved ahead by one with just a few minutes left. It looked to be over until a bobbled catch on a 4th down and 12 put SOU in field goal range. Tyler Crowley easily made a 42-yard field goal earlier in the game so this shorter kick looked like a piece-of-cake, last-second victory for the Raiders.
A split second after I took this picture the ball did not go through the uprights, and we all went home unhappy once again.
