Freshman receiver Braden Contreras was cutting it a bit close when he caught his pass in the back corner of the endzone.
Officials did not make the call initially, but after Contreras argued that he kept his foot inbounds for the catch, the referees made the touchdown call.
His catch, in conjunction with the extra point made by junior kicker Brian Bartholomew, gave Valpo the lead and a 20-19 win over San Diego.
“I was just yelling,” Contreras said. “My mind was going a million miles an hour. I definitely got my foot down.”
From his perspective, quarterback Ben Nimz wasn’t worried about the call.
