D-III St. Thomas pulls off wild two-point conversion (Video)
University of St. Thomas, a Division III program in Minnesota, pulled off one of the wackier two-point conversions we’ve ever seen over the weekend against Carleton College.
Hint: watch the holder.
Everyone on the Carleton side is expecting a simple extra point, but the kicker rolled out to his right at the snap of the ball. The holder, Charlie Dowdie, never looks his kicker’s way and instead flings a pass behind his back to a tight end Matt Christianson for a two-point conversion.
Here’s another angle:
According to the Associated Press, St. Thomas coach Glenn Caruso told WCCO-AM that his team practiced the trick play “all week.”
The Tommies went on to win the game 80-3 (yes, 80-3) to improve to 9-0 on the season. The win also clinched a share of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference for St. Thomas and a berth into the NCAA playoffs.
