Related Topics: SMU Mustangs, Ruston

Louisiana Tech extended a 34-33 lead to a 37-33 lead with just 36 seconds left in regulation. SMU would need a miracle to leave Ruston with a victory.

That miracle happened.

The Mustangs took over at their own 27 and completed three quick passes to advance to the Louisiana Tech 33-yard line with six seconds to go.

Down four, Tanner Mordecai got himself some space, allowed his receivers to advance down the field and lofted a Hail Mary up into the end zone. The pass pin-balled off of Louisiana Tech defenders and into the waiting arms of Reggie Roberson.
