COLLEGE FOOTBALL Raiders drop wild game to Carroll, 42-40 Failed two-point try with 24 seconds left seals outcome By SOU Sports Information MailTribune.com By SOU Sports Information Posted Oct. 18, 2014 @ 5:39 pm By SOU Sports Information Posted Oct. 18, 2014 @ 5:39 pm » Social News HELENA, Mont. — Southern Oregon University’s two-point conversion attempt fell flat with 24 seconds left Saturday afternoon, allowing Carroll College to seal a 42-40 win at Nelson Stadium. That, and the fact that the fourth-ranked Raiders (6-1 overall) and third-ranked Carroll are knotted atop the standings with 5-1 Frontier Conference records, is the short of it. The tale in full is one of madness, one of 1,161 combined yards of offense, one made possible by SOU’s 27 fourth-quarter points and an onside kick snatched up with two minutes on the clock, a sequel that transcended the original, which was an epic 38-35 SOU win six weeks earlier. Carroll is ultimately 56-2 at home over the last eight seasons. Austin Dodge, SOU’s perpetual protagonist, rescued the Raiders from drowning in two-score deficits four times with his 31-for-54, 356-yard performance. His final completion — a 21-yarder that settled into the hands of a streaking Dylan Young in the corner of the end zone with 24 seconds left — gave the Raiders a chance to finally catch all the way up for the first time since Carroll claimed the lead on its very first possession. Dodge dropped back and had time to survey his options on the conversion attempt, but the best one left only a sliver of space to hit Young in the back of the end zone again, and the pass skipped away just beyond his reach. Facing Carroll’s 42-27 advantage minutes before that, SOU scraped together a 68-yard drive in less than three minutes that resulted in Melvin Mason’s 8-yard touchdown run. Alex Nelson made a flawless onside kick, Daniel Abernethy recovered, and the Raiders were set up 39 yards and eight points away from a tie. All-American tailback Dustin Rinker established himself as the villain to Raider faithful early, a role he earned by punishing the SOU defense on 30 carries for 201 yards and two TDs. The first score saw him muscle out of the pack and burst downfield for a 65-yard romp, putting the Saints up 35-20 at the start of the fourth quarter. J.J. Latu’s kickoff return to Carroll’s 42 immediately returned hope to the SOU sideline, and Dodge validated it with a 16-yard TD pass to South Medford alum Ryan Retzlaff in front of the defense. Retzlaff, who hadn’t scored since the first week of the season, had 11 catches for 182 yards, including a 14-yard TD that closed a 21-6 gap 3:35 into the second half. The Raider defense then came through with a stop, but that hope appeared to be fleeting when SOU’s ensuing three-and-out was followed by a botched punt attempt. Carroll gained possession at SOU’s 1, Rinker punched it in, and the Saints led 42-27 with 4:51 left. Madness ensued. Over the first three quarters, quarterback Mac Roche kept momentum in Carroll’s hands. He threw for 285 yards, his three TD passes building the Saints’ first-half lead. The only blip was his first interception of the season after 16 TD passes, taken by Laurence Calcagno in the end zone and brought back 65 yards to give SOU a chance to tie a 21-13 game midway through the third. The Raiders fumbled away possession on the next play. Calcagno also had the first sack of Roche in three games and notched 11 tackles. Sean Blomquist, Carroll’s All-American linebacker, matched Calcagno with 11 tackles of his own. Young finished with nine catches for 97 yards, and Mason had 106 of SOU’s 169 rushing yards on 16 carries. Anthony Clarke was Roche’s top target with eight catches for 140 yards and a nine-yard score that put the Saints up 14-6. The Raiders brought the ball to the red zone on their first two possessions, but two Aldrick Rosas field goals were all they had to show for it. SOU is back on the road next Saturday to play College of Idaho before returning to Raider Stadium on Nov. 1 to take on 15th-ranked Rocky Mountain.
