If you missed the game in person... truly sorry.
If you saw it in person, you will never forget it. If you heard it in person, you will never forget that either.
A 64-yard school record field goal by Garrett Lindholm tied the game as tied expired at 46 all. The boot was the second longest in NCAA Division II history and the longest in Division II playoff history. (THE kick is pictured to the right).
After both teams took field goals in the first overtime (49-49), Texas A&M-Kingsville got the touchdown and extra point to go ahead 56-49. On fourth and five from the 20-yard line, Texan quarterback Scott Grantham scrambled to his right and then made one of the most determined runs ever and found the endzone. He had plenty for a first down, but the junior from El Paso was not going to stop until he hit the end zone. And instead of going for the PAT, Grantham's number was called, and he took it in on a keeper to the right, scoring the game-winning two-point conversion. Tarleton 57, TAMUK 56.
The game, the kick, the overtime... all have gotten national exposure as the 10-2 Texans now travel to No. 1 Central Washington to face the top-ranked team in Super Region Four at noon pacific, 2 p.m. CST on Saturday, Nov. 21 in Ellensburg, Wash.
