Dan Ennis kicked a 31-yard field goal as time ran out, lifting the Terps to a 13-12 victory Saturday over No. 19 Clemson and extending their winning streak to four games. Maryland (7-2, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) remained very much in the hunt in what's become a crazy conference championship chase.
This time, it looked like Friedgen and the Terps would leave disappointed. Clemson overcame a sluggish performance with a fourth-quarter rally -- thanks to a key reversed call from the replay booth -- that led to Jad Dean's fourth field goal and a 12-10 Tiger lead with 2:25 left.
But Sam Hollenbach drove Maryland 54 yards to Clemson's 12 -- converting a fourth-and-inches with his sneak -- to set up Ennis' game winner. "We've been in that situation before at practice," Hollenbach said. "We just tried to do what we did a hundred times before."
The Terps jumped and hugged Ennis in celebration. "I thought Dan was going to be sick, so I thought I'd talk to him later," Hollenbach said, smiling. Hollenbach led the Terps, completing 23 of 34 passes for 247 yards. ...Read more on Terp win here...
Redskins Beat Cowboys 22-19
Joe Gibbs watched his Washington Redskins go from blowing a chance for a last-minute victory over the Dallas Cowboys to preventing a last-minute loss to, somehow, pulling out a win with no time left on the clock.
"Gosh," the Hall of Fame coach said, "I don't know if I've experienced anything like that."
In a finish as crazy as they come, Washington's Nick Novak got two chances to try a winning field goal, missing the first from 49 yards with 31 seconds to go before barely making the second, a 47-yarder after time expired that lifted the Redskins past the Cowboys 22-19 on Sunday.
"It's a short walk from the outhouse to the penthouse," (Maryland Terp)Novak said. "This is what a kicker dreams about. There are ups and downs, and this was the up." ..Read more on Redskin win here...
