Rubin Carter better be in church this morning.
After seeing his opponent rip 90 yards down the field — with no timeouts — in less than a minute, the Florida A&M coach knew it was time to put his trust in a higher power.
As he watched Tennessee State's sure-footed kicker Eric Benson line up for the go-ahead 27-yard field goal with eight seconds left, Carter's only thought was, "Lord, I sure hope he misses this kick."
He did.
Benson, who hadn't missed a kick all year, shanked it wide left. The missed kick, which never had a chance, enabled Florida A&M to escape the Georgia Dome with an 18-17 win over rival Tennessee State in the 19th annual Atlanta Football Classic.
It was the fifth straight year the game has been decided in the final period and the sixth straight time FAMU has beaten TSU. Tennessee State leads the series 25-22, but FAMU is now 11-3 against the Tigers in the Atlanta Football Classic.
