Moment #53: Garrett Comes from out of Nowhere



After Hamilton Garner's big 31-yard catch, the Lions found themselves with a 1st and 10 at the Quaker 16 and still trailing 10-6.

On that 1st down play, Marcorus Garrett was brought down by a hard tackle after just a one yard gain to the 15. 

At that point, Penn must have thought they had quieted Garrett down for at least a little while. 

But Garrett was still ascendant, just in another way.

Getting, unusually decent pass protection for that play, QB Sean Brackett stood in the pocket on the 2nd down and nine play and duped the Penn linebackers into thinking he was looking into the end zone.  

But Brackett was waiting for Garrett to come out of the backfield on a delayed pattern, and found him wide open near the line of scrimmage. 

Garrett made the catch, made one little move and he was into the end zone for a lead-changing TD.

For the second time in the game, the Lions had come back from what seemed like a momentum-changing Quaker score. 

And once again, it was Garrett who made it happen.
