I believe the last one they are refering to is the 80-yard TD catch by Ron Johnson against Iowa to send us to the MicronPC.chokejob/buzzkill bowl. Does that seem like decades ago, or what? Think about that. The first time in 8 years we scored a game-winning TD in the 4th Quarter. Nothing typifies Mason's offense and gameplan more than that stat. However, with the new clock rules I feel like Mason's record would be far better than it actually is. Gone would have been all of the stretch-running plays out of bounds that stopped the clock and gave the other team extra possessions. "I want to be able to stop people. We're adding speed, toughness, and athleticism." - Tim Brewster, 2/6/08

But I think the point is a good one. And I think we all hated the conservatism with which plays were called in the 4th quarter for may years preceding Coach Brewster. Go Gophers!

Posts: 970 09/04/08 9:25 PM	But if memory serves me correctly..... We got a TD (Spaeth) + a 2 pt conversion (Cupito Run) to tie the 2005 game against Purdue. The Russell TD to win it was in the 2nd OT, although we did convert a 4th down in the first OT to tie it with the Td to Payne. Against Miami (OH) we were well in front until a 4th Quarter Collapse. Again, the Pinnix TD to win it was in OT. Both TDs in OT were technically with the game tied....so the point is still valid that it was the first TD to win a game scored from behind in 8 years.
