Maryland Football: Nick Novak lifts Texans to victory

After the likes of Vernon Davis, Darrius Heyward-Bey, and Torrey Smith all scored touchdowns earlier in the day, Novak connected on a game-winning 33-yard field goal. His clutch kick gave the Houston Texans a 26-23 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Novak made both of his field goal attempts (27 & 33) and connected on two-of-three extra point tries. The former Terrapin helped his team erase a 23-9 fourth quarter deficit.
