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:
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Aged ears play truant at his tales,
And younger hearings are quite ravished,
So sweet and voluble is his discourse.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
