Another Blown Lead and Triple OT Loss...

[MrMustang1965]

For those of you who think that only SMU can blow a lead and lose a game in triple OT, I offer the following for your consideration:

CHADRON, Neb., - Chadron State staged an epic fourth quarter comeback, then survived a triple overtime shootout to shock Abilene Christian University of Texas 76-73 in the second round of the NCAA Division II football playoffs Saturday.

And no, that score is not a misprint.

The No. 2-seed Eagles and fourth-seed Wildcats indeed combined for 1,369 yards of total offense as well as lighting up the Elliott Field scoreboard with a Division II playoff record of 149 total points on a sunny, yet chilly northwest Nebraska afternoon.
