If you're a young program, trying to establish itself in Division III and taking on a one-time Division III power, you might need to pull out all the stops. And for Southwestern University punter A.J. Daniels, that meant throwing a jump pass to Nik Kelly, one he took 74 yards for a touchdown. It's the D3football.com Play of the Week.
We solicit video of top plays from every Division III football program and this was our top clip.
Week 10 Play of the Week finalists
Here are some great plays which deserved extra mention:
Mike Williams ran for three touchdowns on Saturday, but none was as spectacular or timely as this one, an 11-yard scramble and leap into the end zone in overtime in Mount St. Joseph's win vs. Rose-Hulman. |
Later in the same game as our Play of the Week, Trinity has battled back to take the lead and Jayden Holden made a diving catch of a pass from Austin Grauer, keeping his hand underneath it even as he went to the ground at the 2-yard line. The Tigers scored one play later, a touchdown Trinity would later need in a 27-19 win. |
You've probably seen this play already but we have two angles for you in one video. This is the behind-the-back pass St. Thomas threw for a two-point conversion on its first touchdown of the game vs. Carleton. |
