Jacksonville State upsets Florida State with crazy 59-yard TD on final play of the game

Jacksonville State somehow beat Florida State on the final play of the game.

All hope of a Jacksonville State upset appeared to be lost when the Gamecocks had fourth down with six seconds left at their own 41-yard-line. But Zerrick Cooper threw a deep pass to Damond Philyaw-Johnson and Philyaw-Johnson did the rest of the work to get into the end zone for the game-winning score.

We're not even going to attempt to explain how there was only one defender in the vicinity of Philyaw-Johnson when the pass was caught. What in the world was Florida State's secondary doing?

We're asking that question before we even get to the tackling part of the play. Just one tackle ends the game and seals the win for Florida State over its FCS opponent that it paid $400,000 to play. But nope, a tackle doesn't happen and Philyaw-Johnson gets into the end zone.

You also need to listen to the call of the game-winning play from Florida State's radio crew. There may be a thrown headset in there.
