Old Dominion vs Western Kentucky.

Down 7, ODU scored a TD with 9 seconds left to tie the game at 34-34. Seems like OT for sure. Not so fast.

-- ODU squib kicked giving WK great field position.
-- Quick run gives WK long, probably unmakeable FG attempt with 2 seconds left. Missed short.
-- ODU had 12 men on the field, 5 yard penalty, untimed down
-- WK tries FG again from 5 yards closer. Short again, ODU has a return man back.
-- Return man fields miss and almost breaks it for TD. Stopped short.
-- Going to OT. Wait!! Facemask penalty on WK during the return. Game can't end.
-- Another untimed down with ODU kicking the third FG attempt in the final TWO seconds of game time.
-- It's good! ODU wins 37-34
