I don't really know what else to say.
This was not a pretty game, not at all. But one play was, and last night, that was all that had mattered.
Scott Grantham, on perhaps his worst performance in purple and white, connected with wide receiver Eric Foreman on a 64-yard pass (the reception caught on camera by Nathan Burel and pictured on the right).
I am not sure what yardline on which Foreman caught the ball, but he ran it into the endzone for the go-ahead score. Sixty-four yards was the complete scoring play, but it was worth much more than six points.
It was worth this thing called VICTORY.
The Texan defense played great, especially since it was on the field 39:26. The defense kept the Texans in the game, but the whole team's desire to not give up until the last buzzer was impressive.
The whole team, and myself included, was jumping around running down to the other end of the field like little kids. We forgot about the final 13 seconds, but the Texan defense went out and stopped the last-second efforts by the Bulldogs and Tarleton improved to 5-0 on the season.
There were only a few pretty plays in the game, including the winning touchdown catch and a 54-yard touchdown run by Roderick Smith. But the prettiest part of the game was when time expired, the No. 16 Texans led 24-21.
And in the end, that's all that really matters, right?
Congratulations Texans on the win! Now, it's time to focus on the LSC South Division.
It only gets harder from here.
