WVU Football Top Ten Last-Second Wins

[Music] boat racing Nettie's 1977 West Virginia Mountaineers displayed their zest for the game in an early season upset of the Maryland Terrapins at College Park a fired up defense swarmed over quarterback Larry dick and made a first half shambles of Maryland's potentially explosive offense [Music] after losing wide receivers Steve Lewis for the season on the game sixth play quarterback Dan Kendra adjusted and struck with passes to tight end Randy Swenson and fleet sophomore wide receiver Cedric Thomas [Music] [Applause] the Mountaineer offensive line provided a showcase for the open field running of Dave Riley the team's leading ground gainer in 77 [Applause] a record-breaking field goal by Bill McKenzie gay West Virginia a surprising 24 nothing halftime lead [Music] but the intentional safety and an exceptional defensive play by Tom pride more on the ensuing free kick to help preserve the victory Frank see Betty watched pensively as his defense stopped Maryland three times inside the floor before Harold woods and Fran Gleeson made this game winning effort at the one [Music] their response to second-half adversity gave the Mountaineers a treasured victory and nationwide attention [Music] probably the most exciting play of the year came against Maryland when was six seconds left in the game and West Virginia trailing the Terrapins Danny took this punt changed his field and took the ball 69 yards for a West Virginia victory [Music] this is the type of play that earned Danny all-american recognition and led him to be chosen West Virginia's amateur athlete of the year [Music] and now a huge decision for Kliff Kingsbury on 4th down is free from the 46 and he's got to send the punt team out I agree I agree with this call because if for some reason you don't get it on fourth down you give West Virginia the ball back needing only 20 yards really to get themselves into field goal range with only a minute left in this ball game bun Joe this is whether this is what legends are made of them this is the chance of a lifetime for Clint Trickett a young man who is completely improved on last year's performance has been phenomenal this season has a chance to lead his West Virginia Mountaineers 80 yards down the field to get a potential game-winning score hey this is the stuff you dream of coming home to West Virginia where you grew up take your team down to win a ballgame let's see if he can do it another field it's second down a job there when Dale Smallwood gets nine still two timeouts left for West Virginia and so far over Cena holding the trigger on one further short back to small work and he's got a first down but still two time-outs the Dana Holgorsen Joe I don't mind this play call you know he's not to putting our two drives ago where they just ran ran ran the ball and got a couple chunks this time you run the ball you stop the clock you say the timeout and remember you only need a field goal which is really only about 35 yards away trick it Andy drop rots developing into a tight window another first down this time Thompson at the 40 freezes out of the timeout from the 43 - it appears the Tristan over the middle again Thompson again into Texas Tech Territory find out for a first down important because the clock stops and they hold on to that final timeout West Virginia is on the ball ready to snap it as soon as Reggie Smith signals it ready there's the snap they run the ball up the gut small word across the 40 up to the 38 and now they've gotta lose that final timeout here being 95 yard field goal 30 seconds which would be one yard longer than Josh Lambert's career long a quarter out too tall and three seconds remaining now they'll send the field goal team out the redshirt sophomore from right here in Texas Garland Texas we Dana Holgorsen said has kept to himself since arriving a couple years ago he hadn't even talked to him just lets him do his thing and let him try and win the game from 55 yards the pins Bowl Isaac Texas cupboards at Texas Tech 30 seconds so here you go the Texas did Josh Lambert officially from 55 yes for the end [Applause] a career-long for Josh Lambert from 55 yards to stealin from Texas Tech [Applause] [Music] they need one more pass to get it around the 20 to 25 yard line to have a real legitimate shot on a field goal and back 10 seconds to go and they still have a timeout so they can't throw the ball anywhere on the football field first down 10 seconds left [Music] [Applause] and it's Mike Logan and West Virginia's perfect regular season is safe week two as the Mountaineers went into Greenville North Carolina for a night game against East Carolina West Virginia loomed as the biggest home game on a schedule that included Penn State and Miami the Pirates were ready to stage an ambush but in the final minute and a half quarterback Mike Kymco took center stage it was PIMCO to Harvey Smith Kymco to gratis Bell then to Bell again and the pass to Keith's win in a drive that covered 69 yards and with just six seconds remaining on the clock it was [Laughter] [Applause] and Harvey Smith got it behind Micallef and whoop [Applause] [Music] all the people right now depending on hearing a freshman out of Springfield Virginia all the people and this is the State University of West Virginia now mark how many people counting on Tyler Pitney Kirk and did it good pressure the last field goal attempt mom come and put yourself in this guy's shoes from 43 yards out there with a win for the Mountaineers Bittencourt [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] she conservative now playing for the field water Cheers [Music] it's good to see that we can be that news and Marshall taking off on first down his dragged down from behind well that's a good sample by David Holloway because Marshall had a lot more green in front of David Holloway he'd been all over the field today and you got ten tackles you're gonna see the ball in the hands at number

Marshall who for the first time in his career has defeated Maryland so the sixth touchdown thrown by Marshall this year and that's the biggest one Chris Henry gets it and West Virginia beats Maryland
