STILLWATER, Okla. — There are sports miracles and then there was what Central Michigan pulled out of its hat Saturday afternoon.
Dead in the water with no time remaining after Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph threw the ball harmlessly out of bounds on fourth down, it appeared as though the Chippewas were headed home with another close loss in a big non-conference clash.
As ESPN employee Lee Corso is fond of saying – not so fast, my friends.
Rudolph was called for intentional grounding and CMU was granted an untimed down from its own 49-yard line.
