I had to post this story because it is really amazing and does not have to do with college sports but I’m going to tie it into college sports…so here goes. Alright Marlin Jackson, from University of Michigan, and Robert Mathis, from University of Alabama A&M, came up big for the Colts on Sunday and showed their school proud by helping the Colts come back from a 17-27 score with only four minutes to go in the game. The first play happened when Houston’s quarterback, Sage Rosenfels, took the ball in and went to run for the first time and as he was getting tackled he reached for the first time and Marlin Jackson stripped it and as the ball was bouncing around it was scooped up by Gary Brackett of the Colts and ran back 68 yards for a score which then made the score 24 to 27 after the field goal, with only 3:36 left in the game. Then the second play after the kickoff Rosenfel rolled out right and Mathis with his great closing speed got up in Rosenfels face and somehow stripped the ball while he tackled him. Then with his athleticism he jumped up from the ground and pounced on the bouncing football. After this fumble recover the Colts were on the Houston 20 and then with a handoff to Addai he broke out left and then towards the middle and made it to the 5 yard line. Peyton to Reggie was the next play and its result was a five yard pass for a touchdown. This put the score 31 to 27 Colts and with a Colts interception on Houston’s next drive it stayed this way. Marlin Jackson and Robert Mathis represented their Alma matter well and showed what being from the Midwest and South is all about.
