The Owls still have three more shots to score, but James impedes them yet again. James stunts to the outside and once more forces the play in. This time, Stalcup can't pitch and James dives and clips Stalcup's heel, tripping him. The pursuit is there again and J.R. Wood and Jarrett Stewart finish off Stalcup at the 3. Two plays, four yards.
Confidence is high on defense.
Third and goal James makes another strong play, but it won't be appear in any official statistics. Stalcup goes under center, finds the Owls are in the wrong formation and requests a timeout. The officials, however, don't seem to notice the request. As soon as the ball is snapped, James drills Stalcup. But the play is for naught, as the referee blows his whistle and grants the timeout.
