Belmont wins on final drive, stops Thurgood
The Belmont Bison knew their chances were running out on the season;
How would they salvage a season once thought to be a playoff bound?
Well for 47 minutes it looked as if Thurgood Marshall would taste victory.
However the Bison, fueled by a passing game that was non existent all game, found a way to score with less than 20 seconds left on a pass from Rian Reeves to pull off the comeback victory 26-21 Thursday night at Welcome Stadium.
The Bison had 2 opportunities to try to move ahead, the first one with 2 min remaining.
They failed on the 4th and 15, and Thurgood seemingly had the game in hand. However a quick 3 and out and the Bison were back in position.
Reeves, a rising junior QB, completed a pass up the middle for a long gain, ran for 20 more on the next play, which setup the game winner.
The Bison now move to 1-4 on the season, while Thurgood falls to 0-5.
More importantly for Coach White and the Bison, it keeps their playoff hopes alive.
