Caleb Hood was already crossing the goal line, but Willie Lampkin was just getting started. He locked up on the inside linebacker for App State, his buttocks low, his feet churning, his powerful hands locked onto the front of the defender's jersey. He drove and drove and drove, taking his opponent nine yards deep into the end zone.
The back judge was standing just a few feet away and bore down on his whistle and stepped in to separate the players, Hood on the other side of the end zone already being mobbed by his teammates as the Tar Heels scored an important second-half touchdown in what would be a 40-34 overtime win over the Mountaineers.
