Story by Joe Alberico, Blinn College Sports Information
Blinn College football failed to complete a pass in the end zone on fourth and goal, allowing Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College to hold on for a 28-21 victory Saturday in Miami, Okla.
The Buccaneers fell to 3-4 overall and 1-4 in Southwest Junior College Football Conference play.
“We fought back and got ourselves in position to tie it up there at the end,” Blinn head coach Ryan Mahon said, “we just weren’t able to punch it in. It was a tough way for the game to end.”
The Bucs trailed 28-14 heading into the fourth quarter and pulled within seven on the second touchdown connection between freshman quarterback Jack Emerson and freshman wide receiver Travaris Turner-Smith.
Blinn then marched all the way down the Golden Norsemen’s 3-yard line before NEO staged a defensive stand with 25 seconds remaining to seal the win.
The Bucs opened the scoring in the first quarter on Emersons first TD strike to Turner-Smith.
Author summary: Blinn football loses to NEO 28-21.
