The Houston Cougars weren’t afraid of only having three seconds in the game to score a walk-off Hail Mary touchdown.
Indeed, Houston quarterback Donovan Smith made one of the best throws you’ll see this college football season on a last-second laser to the end zone on West Virginia’s defense to try and win the game.
As the ball bobbled between hands as it hit receivers and defenders, it’d be Cougars wideout Stephon Johnson who would snag the pass for the walk-off touchdown and the 41-39 win for Houston.
This was the kind of dramatic finish that college football fans dream of, and it’d be Johnson to haul in the score as the Cougars would get the best of the Mountaineers right at the last second.
