When a team needs a touchdown on the final play of a game, it usually resorts to either a Hail Mary or a short pass followed by a series of laterals. Central Michigan found a way to combine the two strategies to get the job done.
Central Michigan trailed Western Kentucky 49-42 with one second remaining in the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl and needed 75 yards to tie the game.
Chippewas quarterback Cooper Rush connected with Jesse Kroll on a Hail Mary. Then, a series of laterals began. Titus Davis was the one who eventually found his way into the end zone, which was his fourth touchdown of the game.
The wild touchdown capped off an insane comeback by Central Michigan. The Chippewas had trailed the Hilltoppers 49-14 with just under 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. However, they did not complete the comeback.
Feeling lucky, Central Michigan went for the win. Cooper's fade pass to the back of the end zone fell incomplete on the two-point conversion, putting an end to the wild game.
With the 49-48 victory, Western Kentucky got its first bowl win in school history.
