I guess I'll have to score a touchdown

I guess I’ll have to score a touchdown. Ok, here is the situation. I, Louisiana Tech full of improved Duck Dynasty members, am playing North Texas in my college football video game. Up 28-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter. North Texas scored a touchdown & converted the two pointer. Louisiana Tech 28 North Texas 25 4:57 remaining in the 4th quarter. After a Phil Robertson completion to Jase Robertson, Jase fumbled the ball & North Texas recovered. To quote Dad, “You’re going to need that.” North Texas methodically drove down the field & scored. North Texas 32 Louisiana Tech 28 3:10 left in the 4th quarter.

I drove down the field, both picking up yardage & trying to kill time to help my defense. One of those was a mistake. Nevertheless, touchdown run Jase Robertson. Louisiana Tech 35 North Texas 32 1:28 remaining. Quickly, though obviously taking time, North Texas quarterback shredded my defense & even ran in the touchdown himself. North Texas 39 Louisiana Tech 35 28 seconds left.

I had all timeouts remaining. In hindsight, I should have used at least one to calm my defense but I did not. I seriously doubt it would have made a difference. After the kickoff return, I needed 70 yards. I thought I would get it in two chunks. However, an incompletion cost me 6 seconds & I had 15 remaining. I called the next play. Right side, the receiver in the left slot does a straight sprint across the field. If he can beat the corner off the line & I hit him before the safety comes up, I have at least 15 yards & can use a timeout. What happened is the safety came in, looking to fake a blitz. I knew if my wide receiver beat the cornerback off the line, it might be a foot race with the safety as he has to turn around to catch him. Instead, the cornerback blitzed. I threw to the wide receiver. Open field for 70 yards. As I sprinted toward the end zone, I began to weave to kill time. I no longer trust my defense. Finally I scored. With 4 seconds left. Louisiana Tech 42 North Texas 39. On the squib kick off, I tackled the computer with zeroes across the scoreboard. I won!

It said Phil Robertson was the player of the game. I was unsure who would take home the honors. Certainly not anyone from my defense. I raced downstairs & showed Mom the highlights. It ranks as my second greatest game ever. Right behind my absurd comeback as Michigan I am sure. As I told Mom, I would score a touchdown & ask my defense for a stop. They would not oblige so there was only one thing to do. I guess I’ll have to score a touchdown
