[Football] Oshodi block, Nussbaum return highlights Tigers 40-39 OT win

Georgetown College football had big moments in all three phases of the game resulting in a program first – a road win at Faulkner University. The No. 21 Tigers (1-0) had not won in Montgomery, Ala. in their previous two games there. The most recent being the only shutout ever in the coach Bill Cronin era. Saturday, the Tigers used all it had in a 40-39 overtime win.

Riley Hall went 17-of-33 with 234 yards and two passing touchdowns. Daric Pugh rushed nine times for 40 yards and scored twice.

The stiff defense turned one goal line opportunity into a turnover on downs. They kept FCU to just 68 rushing yards. The Eagles (1-1) opened the season with 241 yards on the ground at Kentucky Christian University. Starr Thompson and Isaiah Walker also came up with timely interceptions (three) to stall Faulkner's offense.
