welcome everybody to the wolf den where the e.s.u. timberwolves, led by heisman candidate joe kane, open their season against the tough mississippi state bulldogs under head coach jackie sherrill.
2:05 left. kane hands to jefferson.
e.s.u. hoping to get past a tough iowa hawkeyes team in their last game before the return of star quarterback, joe kane.
oh, boy, this does not look good, harmon. they're bringing the stretchers out.
twelve seconds left, iowa driving for the winning touchdown. fourth and goal at the one. e.s.u. trying to hold on without their star middle linebacker, alvin mack.
wolves movin' left to right on your radio dial. looking to generate some offense. they've been up and down the last few weeks.
so the wolves defense has held after the fumble, and the yellow jackets will opt for the field goal. around a 34 yarder. ball is down, it's away, it's long enough. and good! georgia tech jumps out on top 3-0.
collins back to pass, rushed, now fires out in the flat. it's picked off by hill. down the sideline. he's gonna go in untouched. touchdown, georgia tech.
5:51 to go. georgia tech up 10 to nothing. the wolves are gonna have to find some offense in a hurry here. their defense has been keepin' them in it.
nice bit of scrambling by kane to get it to the four, but it's gonna bring up fourth and goal. no doubt about it, with 3:45 they've gotta go for it here, if they're gonna get back in this game.
1:11 and counting. third and one. the wolves have got to stop them on this play if they're gonna get the ball back. a first down here and it's all she wrote. e.s.u. is out of timeouts.
ball on the yellow jacket 35. 17 seconds left. kane barking signals.
field goal here ties it, but a tie may not get the wolves into a bowl. tough decision for winters.
an amazing conclusion to a great season. we can see steve lattimer down on the bench weeping tears of joy as e.s.u. goes back to a bowl for the first time in three years.
