Cortland got the 2015 season off to a good start, as Jon Mannix came up with the much-needed reception on the final play of the game for the win. If this sounds familiar, it's because he did the same thing to end the 2014 season. And if you think you've seen it before, we've added a couple of extra angles. See how it happened below in 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.
