Tulane vs. Army Sept. 23 set for 11 a.m. kickoff

There are probably no official records for such a stat, but Louisiana Tech may have set the NCAA record for longest goal-to-go play in the third quarter of a 57-21 loss to Mississippi State.

It went to third-and-goal ... and 93 yards to go.

Playing second-and-goal from the Mississippi State 6-yard line, a bad shotgun snap sailed past Tech quarterback J'Mar Smith.

Then the chase began. Smith tried to recover but knocked the ball backward and four Mississippi State players did the same thing, continuing to kick and knock the ball back.

Tech wide receiver Cee Jay Powell came out of nowhere to recover it at the Tech 7-yard line, where they played third-and-goal.
