The Miracle Man

He goes by the name Marcus Mathews. Tonight BYU played Utah State. The game began with Utah State scoring a touchdown in the first fifteen seconds. Fifteen seconds! I was assuming that was sign of how the rest of the game was going to go, and it was. It was until the third quarter when our backup quarterback, Riley Nelson, stepped onto the field. Smart move because our starter QB, Jake Heaps, has not been playing well. He's good from time to time, but he really needs to work on his consistency. In the fourth quarter, USU was leading 24-13. We scored a touchdown with 10 minutes left in the game. When there were three minutes left, Arianna said we were going to lose unless a miracle happened. Someone must have been listening because a miracle is exactly what we got. With 11 seconds left on the clock, Marcus Mathews caught a deflected pass for a 13 yard TD. We got scared that it wasn't going to count because there was a flag, but we got it and WE WON!!! The final score was 27-24. Arianna, Christina and I were going crazy. We were jumping up and down and screaming and the apartment downstairs was obviously not watching the game because they were banging on the ceiling due to the noise. Lame! This finish made it one of the most exciting games I've seen.

Here is the miracle moment:

Go Cougars!
