SO SAD:HE MAY NOT PLAY AGAIN….

In the last two minutes, Washington State cornerback Chau Smith-Wade returned an interception 83 yards to set up a game-winning touchdown and guarantee the National team’s 16-7 Senior Bowl victory over the American squad on Saturday.

 

Smith-Wade spread out to intercept a deep ball from Tennessee’s Joe Milton III in a defense-heavy contest. After a moment of hesitation, he realised he wasn’t officially down in accordance with NFL regulations.

Then, he eluded a single tackle attempt on the right sideline and retreated across the field ahead of the TCU touchdown rusher. With 1:38 remaining, Emani Bailey stopped him at the 1.

 

Following his selection as the Nationals’ player of the game, Smith-Wade remarked, “I got up and it’s not college anymore where you’re down.” “At this point, you must be down by contact. After I stood up and began to dance a little, my teammates yelled at me to hurry up.

Stanford’s Joshua Karty made his third field goal, scoring on kicks of 19, 37, and 52 yards, but the offence was unable to punch it in.

 

Michael Pratt of Tulane completed a Hail Mary pass into the end zone for Smith-Wade’s second pick.

The top-rated passers saw very little action in the game for NFL prospects, thus it wasn’t a big game for the quarterbacks.

 

Michael Penix Jr., the quarterback for Washington, decided not to play. After leading the Huskies to the national championship game, the Heisman Trophy runner-up did take part in workouts this week.

 

Bo Nix of Oregon, a fellow Pac-12 Conference star who finished third in the Heisman voting, only appeared in two series. Spencer Rattler of South Carolina accomplished the same for the American squad.

In two series, Nix, who began his career at Auburn just hours before, completed 4 of 5 passes for 21 yards. Brevyn Spann-Ford of Minnesota scored a 2-yard touchdown on his final play after he rolled out and fired up the middle. It was the only touchdown for the team.

 

The defensive coordinator for the New York Jets, National coach Jeff Ulbrich, described him as “just absolutely a winner.”
