College Football tends to deliver you a little of everything. Sometimes you get games like the ninety-point win for Idaho State vs. the Lincoln Oaklanders including a forty-two point second quarter. Sometimes — it’s much, much closer.
For the Penn Football team on Saturday playing at Stonehill — going up 21–7 in the second quarter that including a 69-yard pass from Liam O’Brien to Jared Richardson in the first quarter — seemed secure.
But like the Eagles Game on Sunday afternoon — no lead is safe. After a 63-yard Julien Stokes punt return for a score helping to put Penn up 21–7 — Stonehill stormed back — scoring two touchdowns in the second half. Penn then got the football back with 5:32 left in the fourth quarter and then went on a drive of seven-plays and thirty five to setup the game-winning field goal.
And then it was time to send out the freshman kicker. But not just any freshman kicker.
Mason Walters came to the University of Pennsylvania with quite a resume. Having played high school football at Valor Christian High School where his team advanced to the (2024 5A Colorado State Semifinals.) Walters was a (5A Colorado 1st-Team All-State Selection) and is a record-holder in single-game program records for both the farthest field goal and 2nd-farthest field goal (55 and 51 yards respectively). He also made a FG in fourteen consecutive contests.
And the outcome you ask? A 24–21 win for Penn, of course with nine seconds remaining. Perhaps the Los Angeles Rams would be interested?
