Same scenario, different level. Tulsa was down to its last gasp Thursday. much the way the Arizona Cardinals were Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
And, who said lightning can’t strike twice? In five days, no less.
Watch as JuanCarlos Santana makes the Hail Mary reception in the end zone as time runs out against Tulane.

Third-string QB Davis Brin found Santana for 37 yds for a TD, (Z. Long KICK). The nine-play, 75-yard drive took the last 1:38 of regulation.
The PAT tied the game at 21 and sent it to overtime. And it went to a second overtime when the Hurricane defense took matters into its hands.
How about a pick-six to win the game for Tulsa, 30-24? Oh, and in case you were wondering, the Hurricane was favored by 5.5. Tulsa’s backers are singing Bruce Springsteen’s “Cover Me.”

The catch was reminiscent of the grab DeAndre Hopkins made Sunday to lift the Arizona Cardinals over the Buffalo Bills.
