But did he get in the end zone?

From the last play of the game Saturday vs. UW-Platteville, the debate still rages on: Did St. John's running back Dusty Krueger actually get the ball across the plane of the goal line? We have more footage to show you and you can decide for yourself whether he gets in on his first push to the end zone. 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.

Week 12 Play of the Week finalists

Here are some great plays which deserved extra mention:


Nick Falkenberg puts it up and Bryce Shade comes down with it as Wesley takes a 17-10 lead to halftime in an NCAA Division III first-round playoff game vs. Stevenson. Wesley went on to win 38-17.


Tyler Johnson has the snap knocked out of his hands but recovers and leads Emile Frigon into open space downfield, where he catches a 34-yard touchdown pass to give Alfred a 27-24 lead with 3:45 left in regulation vs. Bridgewater State.


Linfield defensive back Kennedy Johnson strips Hardin-Simmons receiver Garrett Martin at the Linfield 1-yard line, keeping the Cowboys out of the end zone and ensuring the game remained scoreless. Linfield eventually won 24-10.

Eric Stevenson slides away from a tackle, makes a nice move to get past another and then gets blocking downfield to give Wheaton a 28-3 lead in a game the Thunder went on to win 45-10.
