Last Thursday, Northwestern State from the FCS took on Tulsa. While the Demons got blown out by the Golden Hurricane, the team stayed in the game throughout the first quarter and gave Tulsa some fits. Late in the first quarter, Tulsa was attempting a 32-yard field goal to take a 10-point lead.

Instead, Northwestern State was the team that benefitted. Cam Hardy found room through a middle gap and blocked the kick. Antonio Hall then took the bouncing ball off the ground and ran 74 yards to tie the game.
