FORT COLLINS, Co. — Late in the fourth quarter, in what proved to be the final gasp from Colorado State, Rams quarterback Clay Millen heaved a prayer downfield on 4th and 8 from CSU's own 33-yard line.
It was an unremarkable play in college football endgames, the classic deep pass down multiple scores in the closing minutes just trying to make something happen, only to get picked off by the opposing team, as Decorian Patterson did when the pass fell short, MTSU's fourth takeaway of the night in what would become a 34-19 victory.
