On the final crazy play of a crazy game, Jacksonville State running back Calvin Middleton found himself in the middle of a mass of bodies as quarterback Coty Blanchard lofted a 2-point conversion pass toward the end zone. Somehow, through the arms and legs, Middleton came down with the football as the Gamecocks celebrated a stunning 49-48 victory over Mississippi in double overtime. "The coaches called a shovel pass," Middleton said. "I don't even know if [Blanchard] saw me, but I knew if I could catch it I was deep enough in the end zone to score. "This means everything." Blanchard threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Kevyn Cooper on fourth-and-15 to pull within 48-47 in the second overtime. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=302470145
Didn't see that one coming! Masoli is a great athlete, just questionable ethics. He could still be playing for Oregon if he hadn't lied to his coach about the incidents. Ole Miss is a great program...just not significant this season.
Masoli blew it. He probably would be in the running for the Heisman if he'd kept his nose clean. I love it when SEC teams lose to non-SEC teams... it drives me nuts that the SEC's dominance seems to be self-reinforcing. LSU is good because they beat Auburn, who is good because they beat Tennessee, who is good because they beat Alabama, who is good because they beat LSU. Or something like that. Not that the SEC is NOT good, but it seems like a bit of a circle jerk sometimes. Ed O.
I was listening to this game on the radio and turned it off at halftime. Was 31-10 Rebels. Wow, what a turnaround!
