STEPHENVILLE, Texas – Hollywood doesn’t have a scriptwriter for what the McNeese Cowboys have endured the past six months and hit its high point so far on Saturday night.
McNeese Football is writing it for them.
Cody Orgeron sprinted from 19 yards out in double-overtime to give McNeese a 40-37 win over Tarleton State in the first college football game in a spring season since the 1890s.
A global pandemic, two major hurricanes and a team without a home or facilities for 5 ½-months, the Cowboys have overcome every roadblock, bump in the road, naysayers, and what not. Trailing 31-17 with less than three minutes to play wasn’t about to stand in their way.
cNeese football took on a different look for its third preseason game as the Cowboys used game-like situations including a set time and score on the clock with the scenarios taking place in the second and fourth quarters as well as an overtime period.
