Westin Graves’ life is centered around his faith. The Mississippi State junior kicker holds Isaiah 41:10 as his favorite bible verse.
“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God,” the verse reads.
Never, perhaps, has Graves clung to that scripture more than he did on the afternoon of Sept. 3.
Mississippi State had watched as South Alabama erased a 17-0 halftime deficit to take a 21-20 lead. With just seconds remaining, Graves trotted out for a 28-yard field goal attempt to try and salvage the game for the Bulldogs.
