Incarnate Word quarterback Lindsey Scott Jr. made what will likely be the play of his young career against Furman in the second round of the FCS championship tournament on Saturday.
With pressure mounting from Furman on a play early in the first quarter, Scott had to make a quick decision as he was about to get hit.
Rather than just throw the ball away, take the sack and start over, the quarterback made an unbelievable throw to the red zone as he was falling down.
He amazingly found a wide-open wideout Darion Chafin, who shuffled in for the touchdown. It’s a play you must see to believe.
