Tuesday night Sun Belt games always provide high entertainment and the contest between Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State didn’t disappoint.
While there we’re several trick plays and acrobatic efforts throughout the game, it was one effort that dealt with basic fundamentals that stood out.
Arkansas State running back Michael Gordon took a handoff in the second quarter and appeared to get tackled after a six or seven-yard gain. However, Gordon alertly got up and continued running 70 yards to the end zone.
Upon further review, Gordon never touched the ground. He was tackled on top of a defender, knew it and got up for the score.
The touchdown was pivotal at the time because it put the Red Wolves back into what was turning out to be a blowout. However, play-calling mistakes in the second half cost the Red Wolves and they lost 55-40.
