Great game Eagles Shelton Gandy scores on a third down play with 29 seconds left no time outs trailing by 3 points. In other words doubtful they could have run field goal team onto field, set up and successfully converted if Gandy had not scored on the pitch sweep to the left all the way to the goal line cone. Wow great game. I was exhausted.
Sept. 20, 1986: USM 28, Mississippi State 24. State led 24-21 with under four minutes remaining when USM got the ball at its own 2-yard-line. The late Keith Daniels, USM’s offensive coordinator at the time, called all 18 plays of the drive that ended with Shelton Gandy scoring the winning touchdown. Afterward, an emotionally drained Daniels sobbed as he talked about the winning drive, which really was one of the best these eyes ever witnessed.
