With under a minute to play, Louisiana Tech led visiting SMU, 37-33.
Two weeks earlier, the Bulldogs had lost on the final play to Mississippi State when its field goal to win was blocked.
On Saturday, they suffered another last-play loss thanks to Mustangs’ receiver Reggie Roberson, Jr., and quarterback Tanner Mordecai.
SMU had the ball at the LaTech 33-yard line with time for just one more snap.
Roberson pulled in the pass from Mordecai and scored as time expired. The winning touchdown reception has been named as the U.S. Farm Raised Catfish “Catch of the Week.”
For the game, Roberson caught six passes for 71 yards and the touchdown. Mordecai threw for 395 yards and five scores with no interceptions and ran for another 51 yards.
SMU had 579 yards total offense and is 3-0 for the season.
Remember … for the tailgate tent or the pre-game party, U. S. Farm-Raised Catfish is always “the winning catch.”
The Catfish Institute, or TCI, was formed in 1986 by catfish farmers and feed manufacturers to raise consumer awareness of the positive qualities of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Since its formation, U.S. per capita consumption has more than doubled.
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is a sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood product. The National Audubon Society, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Environmental Defense all recommend U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a safe environmental choice. To find out more, visit www.uscatfish.com.
