Well, I heard somethin’ real excitin’ just the other day ’bout that Jax State football team. They went and did somethin’ mighty fine down there in New Orleans, right in that big ol’ Caesars Superdome. I reckon it was somethin’ folks ’round here ain’t gonna forget too soon. That game they played against Louisiana, oh lord, it was somethin’ else! It was the 23rd annual R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, and let me tell ya, they gave us all a good ol’ scare and a real thrill at the same time.
Now, Jax State, them folks have been workin’ hard all season long. They come into that game with a 9-4 record, and they ain’t gonna back down from nobody, not even Louisiana, who was sittin’ at 6-7. The game, well, it wasn’t easy at all. No sir! It went into overtime, and things were lookin’ mighty tough for a minute there. But let me tell ya, them Gamecocks—well, they showed real heart and guts. Down to the last few seconds, they just wouldn’t quit.
It all came down to the wire, with just about a minute and a half left in regulation, and Jax State was behind. Zion Webb, the quarterback—he’s a good’un, let me tell ya—threw a pass on fourth down to Perry Carter. That pass was somethin’ special. Carter caught it, and they scored that 18-yard touchdown, just like that! The crowd went wild, and you could hear folks shoutin’ all the way back here. Now, it ain’t easy to do that, especially with the pressure on like that, but they pulled it off.
And when the game went into overtime, it wasn’t over yet! Jax State needed one more score to seal the deal. That’s when Garrison Rippa, the kicker, stepped up to the plate. He was calm as could be, and he kicked that 27-yard field goal right down the middle. Just like that, Jax State took the win, 34-31, in overtime! Can you believe it? I was just hopin’ they’d pull through, and they sure did! Mighty proud of ‘em!
Now, I know a lot of folks been watchin’ these bowl games, tryin’ to see where the next big match-up’s gonna be. Jax State, with that win, they’ve proven they’re a force to be reckoned with in college football. This victory’s somethin’ they’re gonna be talkin’ about for years to come. Ain’t no doubt ‘bout it. They’re part of that Conference USA, and they’ve been climbin’ the ranks, just keepin’ steady and makin’ their mark.
There’s a whole lot of excitement ‘round here about what’s next for ‘em too. After that win, folks can’t wait to see where Jax State ends up in the next bowl game, and who they’ll be playin’ against.
