The Big Game by: Cade

Did you see the big game? In case you're wondering what big game I'm talking about, #1 LSU vs. #2 Alabama football game. The time was around 7:00 to 8:00. I'll explain the scoring and close to scoring drives. In the first quarter, Alabama is trying to kick a field goal.

"Here's the snap!" the TV said. "The ball's going, going and it's a....miss."

"Shoot!" said the football player who had tried to kick the field goal.

In this paragraph, Alabama tries for another field goal.

"Here we go!" said Dad.

"Yes I wonder if they'll make it this time," I said.

"The play clock's at 5, 4, 3 and here comes the snap!" the TV said. "Here's the blitz and number 25 is in trouble!"

"The is the big moment," said Dad.

Number 25 kicked the ball and it soared up, up and into the field goal!

"Now we have a team on the board!" the TV said. "The score is now 3-0, Alabama."

"Finally!" said Dad.

"Really, I wonder what took them so long," I said.

This time, LSU is trying for a field goal to see if they can even out the score.

"Here goes another field goal, the second one of the game," said the TV.

"Alright, now let's see if LSU can tie up the game," said Dad.

"Here's number 20 up to kick the field goal, " said the TV. "Will he make it? Find out when we come back."

Then the screen turned to commercials and my Dad made them shorter by fasting forward with the remote.

"Welcome back to the game," said the TV. "Now you'll see if number 20 can make the field goal and tie up the game. Here's the snap and the kick."

After number 20 kicked the ball, it soared up, up and into the field goal!

"Now we have the teams all tied up," said the TV.

"Now find out what's going on in the studio update during halftime."

After halftime was over, Alabama is trying for another 3 points to retake the lead.

"Here we are waiting to see if Alabama can get the lead again," said the TV. "The kicker is number 30 from Alabama. He has only missed 1 field goal this season and he might kick the rest of the field goals for Alabama this game."

"This might decide who the game goes to," said Dad.

"Here's the snap and the ball's going up and it is good!" said the TV.

"Now in the 4th quarter we're going to see if LSU can tie up the score and make the game go to overtime," said the TV. "This time number 2 will try to make the goal."

Number 2 was doing practice kicks.

"Alright, I wonder if LSU can tie up the game," said Dad.

"Here we are about to see how good number 2 is," said the TV. "Here's the play action and the snap is good and the kick is here! It's going toward the goal and it's good! That's the 4th quarter and we're going to overtime."

Here Alabama tries for the field goal.

"Here's number 81 up to kick the field goal in overtime," said the TV. "If he makes it, LSU will have to score a field goal to make it go to double overtime."

"Alright, let's see if number 81 can make it," said Dad.

"The play clock's winding down but here's the snap and kick," said the TV. "It's going up and his misses!"

This time, LSU is trying to make a field goal.

"Here we are waiting to see if LSU can make the field goal with 37 seconds to go in the game," said the TV. "Number 20 is back to kick the field goal. This will decide if the game goes to LSU or if the game goes to double overtime! Here's play action and the snap's good, number 20's kicked the field goal and it's good! There's 5, 4, 3, 2 seconds left and LSU wins 9-6."
