In stunning fashion, The Citadel upset the Jackets 27-24 in overtime Saturday afternoon. Tech struggled to defend the option all game long, and it took only a late drive from Tech to force the game into overtime, but after the Jackets failed to convert a down in OT and missed a field goal, Citadel kicker Jacob Godek chipped in a 37-yard field goal to give the FCS Bulldogs an upset victory.

On their last drive of the game, Tech appeared to score a go-ahead touchdown with just 6 seconds left – however, the play was called back, as Tech coach Geoff Collins called a timeout prior to the snap on the play, and the play was blown dead.
