Another handoff, and he gets the first. TO MD. Another unsportsmanlike. (REMIND ME TO TURN THAT OFF NEXT YEAR). Give to Draughn gain of 1. TO MD. 2nd and 24, 1:10 left, Draughn, stopped for a loss. Tick tick tick. They are throwing, complete, but not first. They are going to have to punt, about a half second difference in the clock. It is punted into the end zone, and that will do it. Stupid penalty continues the drive and leads to the eventual FG. See you next week. |
