Five years ago
“Will Anderson gets sacked again by Wallace. This will make it third and twenty-two. It’s the 4th quarter, with one minute and three seconds left on the clock. The Mustangs decide to use their last timeout.”
“So far tonight, the Mustangs are fifty percent in their third downs conversions, and I don’t know if they will be able to convert here. Even if they are able to get into field goal range, it will not be enough for them to win the game. They need a touchdown and the extra point to win, otherwise a touchdown will send this game into overtime.”
“We’ve talked about this all week, Chris. Will Anderson, the quarterback for the Mustangs, is projected to go as the first pick in the draft. If the Mustangs can pull off this upset and win, this could cement his chances,” Bob Rally says.
“I couldn’t agree with you more, Bob,” Chris Jaren comments next to him. “This has definitely been a tight game, and the Tigers are currently leading 23-17. No matter what, in order to try for the touchdown, the Mustangs need to convert this last play to a first down.”
“I agree. I mean, look, Will Anderson completed a thirty-three yard pass to wide receiver Angus Hallows to get the Mustangs to the Mustangs forty yard line from their own two, but the Tigers Defense has proven to be more impenetrable than the Mustangs thought throughout this whole game.”
“This has definitely been more of a game than anyone thought it would be. Okay, the players are taking the field again. The offense is lining up. Will Anderson looks to the sidelines, checking one more time allowing the play clock to run down. With two seconds left, he snaps the ball, looks around, drops back from the pocket as Wallace races toward him. He launches the ball in the air down field toward Angus Hallows. The ball lands perfectly in Angus Hallows hands at the twenty-five-yard line, and he continues to run to the twenty, fifteen, ten, five and into the endzone. TOUCHDOWN MUSTANGS!”
“This is Angus Hallows second touchdown of the night, and what a catch. “Wow, what a play. Angus was covered, and still Will was able to get the ball directly into his hands to score the touchdown to tie the game. A forty-five-yard pass resulting in a twenty-yard run by Angus Hallows for the touchdown. With twenty-two seconds left on the clock, the Tigers will need to get in field goal range to have any shot of winning, should the Mustangs make this field goal, making the score 24-23,” Bob says.
“Plays like this is why everyone believes Will Anderson will be the first-round pick.”
“Everyone is lined up, the ball is snapped, Jarod Johnson kicks, the ball is up, and it is good. Putting the Mustang’s on top for the first time tonight, 24-23,” Bob says.
“There’s twenty-two seconds left on the clock. Do you think the Mustangs will try to go for an onside kick, or punt it down the field?”
“If they are smart, and I know the coach is, he will have them kick it down field with hopes they can put the Tigers deep into their own endzone.”
“And that’s what they do. Williams catches the ball, but he’s quickly taken down at the seventeen-yard line,” Chris says.
“The Tigers come back on the field and snap the ball. Hunts is looking down the field for his wide receiver, finding him, he launches the ball in the air. It’s overthrown. Now it’s second and ten, with twelve seconds left on the clock. Hunts snaps the ball, and Ja’Cory Little doesn’t give him a chance to throw the ball as he sails over the center and sacks Hunts. Now it’s third and ten, with six seconds left on the clock. Hunts snaps the ball and tosses it to Devonte Adams. Adams tries to run up the middle, but is taken down, gaining three yards. With no time left on the clock, the Mustangs win the National Championship with a score of 24-23,” Bob calls out.
“Wow, what a game, what a comeback for the Mustangs.”
“I agree, Bob. This game will only help Will Anderson in the draft and should get him the Heisman trophy.”

“Welcome to the NFL Draft of 2018. The talk of the night is all about Will Anderson, will he go as the first-round pick?”
“I think he will, look he’s had 4,872 in a single-season passing yards, and his overall college career in passing yards was 8,356. He’s had a career passing eighty touchdowns, with forty-seven being in a single season. Seven of those touchdowns were from him running the ball in. He won the Heisman trophy, and I can’t see how he’s not selected as the number one overall pick,” Collin Hubbard says.
“I have to agree. The Alabama Hurtsboro Hummingbirds are in need of a quarterback, and he would be perfect for them,” Jace Franks adds.
“The pick is in, and here comes the Commissioner, Roger Goodell to announce. Let’s see if we are right,” Collin says.
“With the first pick of the NFL Draft 2018, the Alabama Hurtsboro Hummingbirds select Will Anderson, QB, Maine.”
“We knew this is how it would go, and the Hummingbirds couldn't have picked a better quarterback to help turn their team around,” Jace comments.
“I agree. I’m excited to see what his future brings to the NFL,” Collin says. “Hawaii is on the clock.”
