The Play
Randall, as time expires, lets it fly...OH, MY GOODNESS! TOUCHDOWN, LSU! They win the game! They win the football game!
Dave Neal's call of the play on Jefferson Pilot Sports.On the final play of the game, Tigers quarterback Marcus Randall took the ball and threw it from his own 18 yard line as far as he could downfield. Soon after Randall released the ball, triumphant Kentucky fans stormed the field around him. The pass was 25 yards short of the end zone. However, the ball was deflected off the hand of a Kentucky player between the Kentucky 30 and 25 yard lines, into the hands of LSU wide receiver Devery Henderson just short of the 15 yard line. He broke the shoestring tackle of the last Kentucky defender, and ran into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.

Famous quotes containing the word play:
“While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy “Man”,
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“You’re gonna take the rap and play along. You’re gonna make every exact move I tell you. If you don’t, I’ll kill you. And I’ll promise you one thing, it won’t be quick. I’ll break you first. You won’t be able to answer a telephone or open a door without thinking “This is it.” And when it comes, it still won’t be quick. And it won’t be pretty.”
—Geoffrey Homes (1902–1977)
