To the Gun

You play till the final whistle or the blank fired to show time has run out. Both Colorado and Georgia Tech looked as if they had won with time rapidly dwindling in their televised contest. The visitors found themselves down with no timeouts and less than two minutes to play after a Tech field goal brought the host team's lead to six. Then, the Buffaloes rushed down field to score a touchdown with little time left to put themselves up by a single point. All was not lost though for Tech who followed brilliant Indiana transfer Mendoza down the field into field goal range in record time. Unfortunately for the Atlanta boys who had already blocked a field goal themselves, the mountain men had a trick up their sleeve and blocked a field goal attempt of their own to preserve the one point win. What excitement for a season-opening game, and may the rest of the year live up to this glorious beginning!
