Glad to see our kicker Timmy Bleekrode getting some accolades. He was 3-3 in FGs and converted all 5 of his PATs. Couldn't have won without him.

Deluca starts at the top of the screen. He is running his man off. Doubles back and then essentially screens really the only guy that could have had a decent shot at tackling the streaking Miller. Coach is right, that little maneuver potentially won the game (or, without it, could have not given us an opportunity to win the game).
Just a well designed play, in my opinion.
Furman essentially gives Samford a look they are likely expecting - Sisson rolls to the right and drag Deluca across the field.
I think we pick on the safety here. He appears to have man coverage on Miller, but once Miller looks like he's blocking, he starts looking at Sisson. It's not until Sisson stops that he realizes that his man is about to get the ball.
Not sure why, but I like Tomlin's block on this play. Blocks down, turns, and waits for the defensive end to run back the other direction. Samford's DE saw Sisson stop, throw back over his head, and then the first thing he saw turning around was a purple jersey in his face.
