Script flipped

On a night when a kicker making a very non-kicker-like play could’ve carried the day, Kennesaw State had too much time and one too many downs to ruin Jax State’s big for CUSA title repeat.

JACKSONVILLE — What a story one could’ve written from Jax State’s second chance to play host to the Conference USA Championship in as many years.

They talk about quarterbacks making plays with their legs, as if they could make plays without them. In a textbook, man-bites-dod definition of news, Jax State’s kicker made a special play with his shoulder pads Friday.

It awoke the Gamecocks for a comeback to take the lead when things looked bleak in Beakville.

The lines one could write. The poetry that would flow.

A fourth-down-and-14 conversion mattered most in Jax State’s 19-15 loss to Kennesaw State at AmFirst Field, however.
