Moment #26: Brackett Brings ‘em Back



Sean Brackett 

Now trailing 14-5 late in the 3rd quarter of their week seven game against Yale, Sean Brackett came back in at QB for the Lions and gave them the shot in the arm they so desperately needed.

Brackett went to the air right away, connecting with FB Steven Silvio and WR Connor Nelligan for a pair of short gains and the initial 1st down of the drive.

Two plays later he converted another 3rd down when he found Nelligan for 17 yards to the Eli 40.

In all, the 75-yard drive went for 14 plays and just under seven minutes and CU converted all four 3rd down plays including the 3rd down and goal four-yard pass to WR Jake Wanamaker that made the score 14-12.

Brackett had not only given the Lions the momentum back, he had re-established himself as the leader of the team.
