Marcus Jones lights up the city of Houston as Cougars spoil SMU’s perfect season, 41-34

Games 1 and 2 of the 2021 World Series took place within the confines of Houston earlier this week. And despite the series moving to Atlanta, the home runs were still flying in the nation’s fourth largest city when SMU and Houston stepped up to the plate.

The game-winning shot landed with 17 seconds remaining on the clock. Immediately after SMU knotted the score at 34 with 30 seconds remaining, the Mustangs lined up to kick to All-American return specialist Marcus Jones. Jones, who entered Saturday night with three special teams touchdowns on the year, put his remarkable ability on display once again.
