Tennessee State's Steven Newbold defines #BigBlueRising
???? Remember when we said sophomore WR Steven Newbold hurdled somebody in the FAMU Tampa Classic?#SCtop10 #BigBlueRising @TheUndefeated @espn pic.twitter.com/ceIrYWkAJn

Hurdling is the new trucking, and springy wide receivers like Steven Newbold couldn't be happier about it. We agree. [divider]
Indiana State Fake FG With an Insane Course-Correction TD
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! #SCtop10 @NCAA_FCS @ValleyFootball pic.twitter.com/BaSbLdDVfB
— Sycamore Football (@IndStFB) September 16, 2017
Down 21-10 in the second quarter at Liberty, Indiana State decided it was time to take drastic action. And boy did it ever work. Kicker Jerry Nunez receives the direct snap, rolls right, and tosses it up for Jacq McClendon, who corrects course mid-route and scores the 31-yard TD. [divider]

SFA Wins on an Incarnate Word Hail Mary … What?
What a finish! Alize Ward takes the interception back 67 yards as time expires to give @SFA_Football the win! #AxeEm #SCTop10 pic.twitter.com/0X0q8bR7Ng
— SFA Athletics (@SFA_Athletics) September 17, 2017
Stephen F. Austin came back from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to tie it at 31 with the clock ticking down. Incarnate Word wanted to end it in regulation, so on the last play of the game, they called a flea flicker. It didn't go well.
