As everyone in Georg-Gassman stadium collectively hold their breath, Comet QB Frank Meade takes the snap and drops back. Pressured, he rolls right looking downfield for an open receiver. There are none. Marburg's defenders are locked onto the Comet receivers. So, with no other options, Meade once again charges towards the endzone.
Mercenary defenders converge.
Marburg LB Charles Cleveland makes the initial hit, helped out by a host of others. Meade is in the grasp of Mercenary defenders determined to win this game. And after 48 minutes of some of the most intense, hardest hitting football of the season, Meade has no where to go and falls among the bodies on the 3 yard line. Finally, after 44 of the longest seconds in Mercenary history, the game is over. Needless to say, the celebrations started soon after and continued on late into the night as Marburg players and fans celebrated their first ever 2nd division title in their 10 year history.
