Division II program Virginia State was in line to capture a win in its season opener against FCS foe Norfolk State, clinging to a 27–24 lead with six seconds remaining.
On fourth-and-7 with six seconds to play, the Trojans kept their offense on the field in the shadow of their own goal posts. It was clear what the intent was.
Take the snap, run around for six seconds and even if it were to be a turnover on downs, the game would be over and Norfolk State would never possess the ball with the opportunity to win.
