My heart sunk when Alston missed the kick, and it sunk a little further as the Syracuse offense mounts a successful drive and lands a field goal for their trouble.
2:54 left in the 3rd quarter; Syracuse 10, Tennessee 6.
A nice return on the kickoff is negated by a holding call, and we head out to the UT16. 17 minutes left to win this game is all I can think of, and we're not going to do it inside our 20. You can sense an urgency in our huddle, and on our sideline. Can we get it done? Can the offense come through? We need a touchdown; field goals are worthless now.
Brewster gets 4 on a toss to the 20 yard line, and a hard count draws a defender offside, making it 2nd and 1. Perfect time for a deep ball, but unfortunately Washington allows a sack, and I am dropped for a loss of five. The first time I've ever been sacked and it couldn't have came at a worse time. 3rd and 6 and a screen to Jordan gets a first down plus 3 to the UT29.
Brewster ends the 4th quarter with a 5 yard gain up the middle.
At the end of the 3rd quarter, Syracuse 10, Tennessee 6.
