September 20, 1985. Collier Field. Game conditions: not yet available

The Trinity Wildcats attempted only two passes in the entire game. One was intercepted by Saint James, but the last minute bomb down the Trinity sidelines from Brent Cook to John Massey was thrown just over several defenders at midfield where Massey collected the toss and darted toward the endzone in a last minute shocker. Both teams were otherwise completely focused on the ground game, although neither could generate a scoring drive until late in the game. Johnny Redding did rush for 163 yards on 23 carries, and Saint James outrushed Trinity 195 to 144, but it was all for naught thanks to the Wildcats' last minute magic.
