It looked as if most of the record crowd wearing green at Apogee Stadium was within seconds of erupting. Then Amik Robertson blocked the field-goal attempt, and only one corner of the stadium wearing red and blue was celebrating.
Louisiana Tech’s Robertson blocked Cole Hedlund’s field goal attempt with 33 seconds left to seal the Bulldogs’ 29-27 win against North Texas to start Conference USA play Saturday night.
A 46-yard make from Hedlund would have most likely kept UNT’s undefeated record intact. He also banged another attempt off the left upright with 12:36 left and the score still 29-27.
