Franklin's comeback had Division III football fans on edge on Saturday afternoon, wondering if the No. 19-ranked Grizzlies could take down the top-ranked defending champs at Mount Union. Part of the comeback included this fantastic grab by Kyle Linville from Jonny West, setting up a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. 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.
