Ethan Finke flipped a 5-yard touchdown pass to Grayson Guthman on the last play of the third overtime late Friday night, leading the Red Devils to a win over Carbondale at Bencini Field.
The play capped a 3-hour, minute instant classic and enabled Murphysboro to open its season with its first win over the Terriers since But an encroachment flag on the Terriers and a 7-yard run by Devon Clemons got them to the 5. Following a timeout, quarterback Drew Caldwell pitched to Finke, a halfback. But instead of running for the score, he stopped and lofted a pass to the wide-open Guthman in the right front corner of the end zone.
One missed block and that could have turned out differently. Both teams scored touchdowns in the first two overtimes, but failed to convert extra point kicks.
Gabe Hillard rushed for yards and three touchdowns on 27 attempts for the Terriers, while Clemons compiled yards and three scores on 18 carries. Carbondale quarterback Brock Bowlby was 14 of 27 for yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Terriers receiver DeMarcus Funchess hauled in eight passes for yards and two scores. Carbondale outgained the Red Devils , but committed a whopping 16 penalties for 88 yards and committed four turnovers.
Murphysboro was flagged 10 times for 60 yards, but made just one turnover. In the days prior to the game, the storyline was that each team was breaking in a new quarterback.
But that was eclipsed about 90 minutes before kickoff. Defensive coordinator Ben Campos filled in as interim coach and found his team playing from behind just 17 seconds into the game. After Jake Struthers gobbled up an onside kick and returned it to the Carbondale 30, Caldwell beat an all-out blitz and hit Calvon Clemons on a screen pass to the left.
The speedy Clemons did the rest, galloping untouched into the front corner of the end. Two offsides penalties led Carter to go for two, and Devon Clemons converted for an advantage. The teams combined for four straight 3-and-outs before the Terriers found traction with a couple of first downs. Then they made a huge mistake.
Calvon Clemons jumped an out route and picked off the pass, turning a potential tying score into a yard pick-six that gave the Red Devils a lead. Bowlby bounced back nicely from the miscue. Bowlby answered by finding Funchess for a yard touchdown with left, taking advantage of a busted coverage. But Calvon Clemons responded with an electrifying yard kickoff return that took only 10 seconds and upped the margin back to The Terriers fought back with two Hillard scores in 89 seconds.
First, he made a man miss behind the scrimmage line and zipped 15 yards to cut the margin to seven. Then he equalized by taking a short pass from Bowlby and turning it into a yard touchdown, jumping over the right front pylon to make it with remaining.
