Ralph Webb knew to go high. His brain momentarily shut off, but instincts took his feet off the ground
Three seconds left. Down 24-17. Ball at the 2-yard line. With a game, a season and possibly his coach's job at stake, Vanderbilt's 5-foot-10, 202-pound running back snared a handoff, took a couple of steps and then leapt over diving Western Kentucky safety Branden Leston from just inside the 4-yard line. Outstretched and perfectly parallel to the ground, Webb plunged head-first into the end zone.
Tie game. End of regulation.
"We decided to run, Ralph made it right, and the rest is history," head coach Derek Mason said.
