VOTE: D3 Football Play of the Week (Elite 8 Playoff Edition)

Four more to go, folks. These playoffs have been a blast, but all good things must end. In this case, Brockport gets a trip to the Final Four on a clutch field goal, Mount Union looks unbeatable, and UW-Oshkosh and Mary Hardin-Baylor are making opponents weep.

Anyways, here I've got the best plays of the week for you to vote on. And just to make things more difficult, I've included seven — yes, seven — clips. That's what happens when awesome football happens and people film it. Voting closes Thursday at noon, Pacific.

If you think I missed one, shout and cuss at me @stockames12 on the Twitter.

LATE FIELD GOAL SENDS BROCKPORT TO FINAL FOUR

ICYMI – this is the kick that sent @BportAthletics to the #d3fb #FinalFour – shot by @FrankRossi pic.twitter.com/djABzNpWba

— In The (D3FB) Huddle (@D3FBHuddle) December 3, 2017

Here it is. The big one. The play that will live forever in the minds of Brockport fans the world (town?) entire. With the game knotted at 28, Brockport senior Brett Renzi strutted to the field and calmly kicked the football through the goal post from 33-yards out with no time left on the clock. No, it’s not the sexiest play ever, but it is one of the more important ones you’ll see, as it lifted Brockport over Delaware Valley 31-28.

HUBBARD plus GERMINERIO = MONEY

That’s a nice way to start the half! #UndefeatedEffort #d3fb pic.twitter.com/WdcvQ1VBPq

— Brockport Athletics (@BportAthletics) December 2, 2017

In the same game as above, DaQuan Hubbard went up high to snag this beauty of a pass from QB Joe Germinerio to start the third quarter. The play netted 45 yards and set Brockport up at the Delaware 25, ultimately leading to the team’s final score before Renzi’s big kick.

WILKERSON'S PUNT RETURN DOWNS TOMMIES

Bryce Wilkerson's punt return TD today. https://t.co/AxWTfvPU0R #d3fb

What the heck, St. Thomas? I pegged you as a dark horse heading into this tourney. No, there’s no proof that I did that in the form of writing, but I made mention of your talent and abilities on many occasion in many a family outing. And you give up a 67-yard punt return TD? To be fair, Bryce Wilkerson’s run was undeniably impressive as you can see in the video above (around the minute mark). That score burst open a tie ballgame, and Mary Hardin-Baylor would go on to win 24-10.

PERRA AND HULL CONNECT FOR SWEET TD

— HERO Sports D3FB (@HEROSportsD3FB) December 2, 2017

The Tommies weren’t without their fair share of great plays, including this beauty of a TD from Jacques Perra to Jackson Hull that tied the game at seven midway through the second quarter.

HECKER COMPLETELY BAFFLES WARTBURG DEFENSE

The defense things twice about trying to tackle @dhecker4 and he scores AGAIN!https://t.co/0lVBQ2HKcP @UWOshkoshTitans @UWOFootball pic.twitter.com/ww3Ot3kvxw

— HERO Sports D3FB (@HEROSportsD3FB) December 2, 2017

You can’t see the rest of this play, because the GIF starts a little late, but this awesome move by UW-Oshkosh star Dylan Hecker required a 43-yard pass from Brett Kasper. The Titans ultimately throttled Wartburg 41-27, but at this point in the game, the outcome was still very much in doubt.

LITTLEJOHN'S 90-YARD KICKOFF RETURN PUTS RAIDERS OUT OF REACH

Can't touch this – Darian Littlejohn probablyhttps://t.co/XiItGj6JRc @UMUFootball @purpleraiders pic.twitter.com/uDca2BoGLS

— HERO Sports D3FB (@HEROSportsD3FB) December 2, 2017

Mount Union blasted Forstburg State 70-37. In other news, sidewalks are hard. The scoring barrage started early in the first quarter, but reached a peak when Darian Littlejohn decided to jog his way to a 90-yard kickoff return.

POORMAN JUKES DEFENDERS FOR TD

.@LukePoorman10 says BYE https://t.co/bazJoIp7EB @UMUFootball @purpleraiders pic.twitter.com/COinmN2w4F

— HERO Sports D3FB (@HEROSportsD3FB) December 2, 2017

Mount Union QB Luke Poorman threw for 355 yards and six touchdowns against Frostburg State, but just to shake things up he also ran in this beauty of a teeder from 25-yards out. You can’t stop ‘em through the air, or on the ground. These Purple Raiders are legit.[divider]
