Alex McGough showed all of FIU’s resilience in one play late in Saturday’s 30-29 comeback win against Charlotte at Riccardo Silva Stadium.
The senior quarterback galloped for a 14-yard touchdown in the third quarter to get the Panthers within two points of the 49ers after his team trailed 26-7 earlier in the game. He juked several defenders on the play, before hurdling one last obstacle and stretching the ball into the end zone.
“Just a good call,” McGough said. “It was a good block by the o-line. It was a zone-read play and the end squeezed down to try to tackle [Alex Gardner], who had been gashing them all game.
