Football - Offensive
STEPHEN ARNOLD, BLAKE BARMORE, RILEY
CURRY, JOSH HOOTEN, BRANDON MADDUX, SHAWN THOMPSON AND MICHAEL TOMLIN - ALL OF
TRINITY UNIVERSITY - have been named the SCAC Football Offensive
Players-of-the-Week for their collective effort in Saturday's 28-24 victory over
Millsaps College.
If you have figured it out yet, these seven are the ones who handled the ball
during the "Mississippi Miracle" - the incredible 15-lateral, 60-yard circus act
that Trinity executed to perfection to defeat Millsaps on the final play of the
game in Saturday's battle for SCAC supremacy in Jackson.
Trailing 24-22 with two seconds
remaining and
the ball at his own 40-yard line, Barmore began the play with an
innocent 10-yard completion across the middle to Thompson.
But then, as fireworks were launched and the clock turned to 0:00, Thompson
began the sequence of laterals to Riley Curry.
From there it went from Curry to Josh Hooten (an offensive lineman) to
Michael Tomlin to
Stephen Arnold (another offensive
lineman) to Thompson to Brandon Maddux
to Curry to Maddux to Barmore to Thompson to Curry to Tomlin to Hooten to Maddux
to Curry, who rumbled the final 44 yards for the inexplicable score.
In the course of the play, Trinity initially
advanced to Millsaps' 42-yard line, then retreated to its 45, advanced to
Millsaps' 41, went back to its 42, moved ahead to Millsaps' 29 before moving
back to the 44 and then scoring from there.
The play has been nominated as one of four Pontiac Game Changing Performances on
ESPN.
