Midwestern State University quarterback Quade Coward scored a 2-yard touchdown run in the final seconds of the team’s Lone Star Football Festival victory over Eastern New Mexico, 28-24.
“I wasn’t expecting to get the ball, but in that type of situation you always want the ball to be in your hands, and for it to come down to that it does make it more special,” said Coward, exercise physiology junior.
Despite the close final score, Midwestern struggled offensively in the first half, only scoring one touchdown on a 9-yard run by running back Vincent Johnson, mechanical engineering freshman.
The second half was a nail biter with neither team able to take a substantial lead.
