Second Chance for Victory

While my family was visiting I took my parents to their first ever LSU football game in Tiger Stadium.
The game started off on a good note with our quarterback running for over 90 yards on the first play for a touchdown. But after that the game wasn't really that exciting.
Besides that first touchdown we just couldn't seem to score. We missed a field goal, had several intercepts, and a turnover. We were able to get down the field, but we were never able to score again except for one lone field goal.
It came down to 2 minutes left in the game and we were down 10-14. Our "back-up" quarterback (who most people think should be starting) was in the game trying to score a touchdown for the win. And each time it seemed like this would be it, he seemed to make just enough for a first down. With 10 seconds left we're within 2 yards of a touchdown.

Even though the quarterback isn't ready we snap the ball with 2 seconds left. Since the quarterback has no idea what happens the ball flies behind him and the game is over.

With the last minute substitution Tennessee has a penalty, and LSU gets to run the play over, without any type of time limit. This time LSU is able to finish, and on our second try we go on to win the game 16-14.
I can't say I've ever seen a game go down this way. And well a win is still a win, it was an ugly way of getting there. Here's hoping that next week's game at Florida somehow isn't nearly as ugly, and we can pull off a win!
