What if Josh Garden doesn't drop that ball? Does Philadelphia win? Surely, they must, right? With 1:27 left, they would be up by 1 point and kicking off...
The return by Bradley Westfield a trap - running to the right end of the field he laterals to Jordan Yates, who gallops down to the Otter 40 yard line. Now only needing to go about 30 yards to get into Madlad's range, the Otters start eating clock while methodically moving the ball. With 30 seconds left, they find themselves at a 4th and 3 at the Liberty 32 - a routine kick for Madlad. Splitting the uprights, they decide what to do for the kickoff.
Some players on the bench want them to attempt an onside kick - and they are backed by the coaches. The Liberty have been running a very tight return formation the entire game - sending a gunner out to the far edge of the field would be a certain success. In reality, it is a massive failure - the ball bounces past the outstretched hands of Tegan Atwell but somehow stays in bounds. Turning into a glorified squib kick, the ball continues rolling down the field until Paul DiMiro picks it up. Desperate and surrounded, he throws it across the field to a wide open Josh Garden waiting at the Liberty 35! Garden sprints down the field, with blockers ahead, certain to score! Liberty fans everywhere begin seeing glory in their eyes, visions of the parades cloud their heads... Josh Garden included. He slows down as he goes to cross into the endzone with 3 seconds left, basking in the light when suddenly, redeeming herself, Tegan Atwell strips the ball from his hands! The ball bounces through the endzone, giving the Otters a touchback with 1 second left. It is an easy kneel-down for Mike Boss, and the Otters remain the 3 time Ultimus champions... and Josh Garden remains a villain to the Liberty faithful.
