Liberty Wins on Field Goal After Virginia Tech's Decision to Ice Kicker Backfires Spectacularly

It had all come down to the final eight seconds.

No. 25 Liberty (7-0) prepared a 59-yard field goal attempt. The Flames were tied 35-35 to Virginia Tech (4-3), their second ACC opponent of the season. As the ball lifted off the ground, it was blocked and a Hokie intercepted it.

Jermaine Waller ran down the field all the way to the end zone, pushing Virginia Tech into the lead in the final moments of the game.

Only, his own team had called a timeout in an attempt to ice the Liberty kicker, negating the touchdown and tying the game once again.
