UCF's Hail Mary Is A Conference Clincher

So Central Florida earns a share of the American Athletic Conference championship but it was a heck of a way to win it.

Knights quarterback Justin Holman connects with Breshad Perriman on the successful hail mary to lift UCF to a 32-30 win over East Carolina.


"Justin threw the ball."  Perriman said.  "I knew he was coming to our side. It was a perfect ball. I was blessed enough to come down with the catch."

"That was a great last play," UCF head coach George O'Leary said, "That's the second conference championship in a row, that's the first time in school history. That's great for the players and I'm happy so happy for them."

Here's how the voice of the UCF Knights Marc Daniels called it.




UCF shares the AAC title with Memphis giving the Knights claim to back to back conference championships.

It was a gut wrenching loss for East Carolina.

“I’ve experienced games like that before and it doesn’t get any easier. It’s tough." East Carolina head coach Ruffin McNeill said.

BUZZER BEATER THROW DOWN: Arkansas' Michael Qualls With An Exclamation Point For Hogs Over Kentucky

There are buzzer beaters and then there are those like Arkansas' Michael Qualls which are off the scale.

Thanks ESPN


Here's another angle with the Voice of the Razorbacks Chuck Barrett on the call.

Thanks RazorVison:

"It was an unbelievable finish." Arkansas head coach Mike Anderson said. “He made a great play. That’s how I saw it. It’s fortunate for us he was playing for the Razorbacks.

“What an athletic play. That’s something I wish I could say I teach it, but I do encourage our guy to go to the glass.”

“Everyone is just clinching their shirt, hoping he doesn’t hit the three,” Qualls said. “I just saw the opportunity and took it.”

“My guy watched, and that kid ran by him and dunked it,” Kentucky head coach John Calipari said.  “He’s a freshman. That’s what freshmen do.”

Before you say typical Calipari throwing one of his players under the bus publicly the player he's referring to, James Young, acknowledged it was his fault.

“That was my fault, I stopped playing until the last second.”

Great win for Arkansas, they needed it after starting 0-2 in the SEC.

Here's an angle from under the basket.

Wild Finish In Syracuse As The Orange Defeat Boston College, BC's Andre Williams Hurt

It was a must win for Syracuse if the Orange were going to be bowl eligible that came down to the final six seconds.  Orange quarterback Terrel Hunt found Josh Parris for the game winner for Syracuse

Thanks Fox Sports South

“It was unbelievable, everything was unbelievable." Parris said.  "The throw, play call was perfect. I didn’t think he was going to call the play. It was a great play call.”

"I thought that was an awesome call." Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer said. "I couldn’t be prouder, the kids just kept fighting."

Hunt finished the game completing 29 out of 43 passes for 270 yards and two touchdown, one interception.

Boston College running back Andre Williams came into the game against Syracuse with 2,073 yards gained 29 yards and a touchdown against the Orange before leaving the game in the third quarter.

“He was hurting, he was hurt right from the beginning." Boston College head coach Steve Addazio said.  "He took a shot early on that same shoulder and was trying to go and just couldn’t go and he couldn’t run with that force and certainly not going to put him in harm’s way."

We had to see someone who's having a special season like Andre Williams was having injured in the final game of the season.  

Williams wasn't able to make one final lasting impression on the Heisman Trophy Award voters.

It was a long short anyway.
