A football game that started off boring turned into a nail
biter for two Michigan State University students this Monday.
Roommates Matt Coronado and Caleb Sherman watched the Monday
Night Football game with little interest while doing their CSE homework, but
the game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Carolina Panthers turned from a
blowout into an overtime thriller.
Coronado barely watched the first two quarters of the
football game, while Sherman entered the room with the Panthers leading 10-6,
and quickly began helping Coronado with their homework.
Unfortunately, the work was too much for Coronado and
Sherman, as they abandoned their assignment to go to the Akers living hall to
grab something to eat.
The Panthers’ lead against the Colts grew as big as a 23-6
score in the 4th quarter, leaving Coronado and Sherman to doing
other things.
However, the Colts would end up scoring 17 straight points
to bring the game into overtime, encouraging the roommates to begin rooting for
the Colts to complete the comeback.
The Colts were very close to winning the game, but an
unfortunate turnover led to the Panthers winning the game 29-26, leaving
Coronado and Sherman heartbroken before they went to sleep.
