Louisiana Tech Faces 3rd-and-Goal from Own 7 After Losing 87 Yards on Fumble

After allowing three unanswered touchdowns to Mississippi State, Louisiana Tech looked poised to open the fourth quarter with a touchdown.

Although already facing a 57-14 deficit, the Bulldogs had a 2nd-and-goal at the six-yard line to slightly lessen the rout.

They somehow played the next down from their own seven.

An errant snap soared over quarterback J'Mar Smith's head, and an outlandish comedy of errors followed. In a sequence that can only be soundtracked by "Yakety Sax," multiple players from both sides bobbled and kicked the ball all the way to the opposite end of the field.

Louisiana Tech wide receiver Cee Jay Powell at least avoided a disastrous turnover by recovering the loose ball. The absurd sequence cost them 87 yards, and they only managed a 21-yard run on their 3rd-and-93.
