I don't think it'll happen but I sure wouldn't have pegged this one before the season as one in which the FCS would still be in the game in the 3rd quarter.

I saw some of UTM vs. Jacksonville State on TV. The Skyhawks are really small on the line of scrimmage. This is amazing.

App St almost pulled one out at Auburn in 1999. A late long TD pass gave Auburn a 22-15 win but it still was a big deal. War Eagle nation must be getting 1999 flashbacks now. xlolx

So far it's not a fluke either. The stats I'm looking at have it UTM 226, Auburn 225 in total yards. I realize the dam could break at any moment, but the Skyhawks are apparently playing very well today.

Drat. Auburn gets a 30 yard TD run on a 3rd and 5 play.

After Auburn scored UTM drove down to the Auburn 35 where they had second and 4. But they got called for a 5 yard penalty and ended up having to punt.

30-20 Auburn early in the 4th. Probably over, but great effort by UTM.

Not that I know of. I'm watching the yahoo box score thing that puts up descriptions of plays.

Watching ESPN News and no mention of this game yet. You would think this would be at least made know on the World Wide Leader In Sports!

Never mind. I had it backwards. Auburn had the ball. I think. Misread the stuff.

You had it right. Martin turned it over on downs.

I am shocked and impressed. I knew UTM was good again this year... but I certainly didn't expect this!

Very nice showing. UTM was only down by 7 (27-20) entering the 4th quarter.

Auburn's tacked on 10 since then, but they know they were in a game.

I was there. I am still shocked. We easily left 21 points on the field. Got on the 6 with 7 minutes left and could not score. Dropped a touchdown pass prior to this to tie the game 27-27 at the start of the 4th Q. Got it the redzone 4 times and could not score!! Ran the opening kickoff back but stepped out of bounds at the Auburn 26. I have never seen 85,000 people that silent. The auburn fans were very complimentary. UTM fans had a corner of the 85K filled and made it clear we were very close to shocking an SEC team. (A weak one yea) but still. Injury wise we have maybe 1 questionable on defense but now............Its SEMO time. What a great and respectable day for the Skyhawks.

Congrats to UT-Martin on showing well against the FBS! That would have been a GREAT win, but at least you put a scare into the tigers.

I was also at the game.... Man! What a showing for UT Martin on both sides of the Ball. Our Offense, After running that 2 minute drill before half gained a lot of confidence and never let that confidence down. We were moving the ball, ccoming up with clutch catches. The defense( who was probly outweighed by an average of 30-40 pounds) played well... Just couldn't stop that run.

I'll say it again, Kodie Burns(their QB) single handedly saved Coach Tommy Tuberville's job. I think he had 158 yards rushing(Out of about 340) and 2 or 3 Rushing TD's.

UTM proved a lot yesterday on the Plains. Do you think they have a chance to move up in the rankings of the FCS poll?
