I do remember this so well. I can remember when Jones scored the TD I was yelling and screaming all over the house and My dad was jumping up and down saying." Please no flags". Wonderful memory my dad and I shared.
Something isn't right with this video. First tony jones is short (5-7'). The guy lining up on the left does not look that short. Second, at about 8-9 seconds into the video, there are 2 receivers coming off to the left, NO receivers up top on the right side of the field. The video switches back to a shot of McWilliams on the sideline then there are two wideouts lined up there.
@Statalyzer I agree. I don't know if they would have made them run the play if the defense could score then but I am sure as what you have pointed out that it is exactly what they would have done. It would have just been a waste of time.
I remember this like it was yesterday. We were at the 13, but had a penalty that pushed us back to the 18 and then...well, you saw it. Tony Jones became a "go-to" guy after that play....
Great post; no one seems to ever talk about this game - - maybe because it was in the dark days of the late 80's - - but it was a good one. Britt Hager played like a man possessed that day on D; Hogs had no answer for him as I recall.
Guard moved "on purpose" prior to snap. Tony was small , but he was really slow.

Was this 1989 or 1987?

It was 1987. The extra point or points weren't even tried. Back then only the scoring team could score on the extra point.

@PhillipCreeper All they would have had to do is kneel anyway, even if there was defensive scoring possible.

I was at that game about 12 years old. That last second play made me physically ill.

Great catch! The pass went where it needed too and Mr. Jones held on to it spite of good defensive play. Hook 'em!
