Wildcard Game lives up to its name...wild! Madison defeats Norfolk 35-33. Norfolk jumps out to a 21-7 lead and appeared to go into halftime with a commanding lead when Jamaal Charles busts a 67yd td run. Norfolk adds a fg right to go up 24-14 at halftime. Madison scores the next two touchdowns to take a 28-24 lead. After Norfolk kicks a fg to trim the lead to 1 (28-27), Madison turns disaster into a miracle. On 3rd down, Kyle Orton is sacked by Ray Edwards and fumbles but Madison's offensive lineman Dylan Gandy picks up the ball and "dances" 26 yds into the end zone. With the extra point, Madison goes up 8. Norfolk responds by moving right down the field and pulling within two when Tony Romo hits Desean Jackson for a 23 yd td pass. With 6:00 min remaining, Norfolk goes for the 2pt conversion to tie it up but Madison is able to keep Tony Romo out of the endzone. Madison then puts together a game clinching drive and wins this wildcard game 35-33.
Madison continues their playoff success and moves on to the play the DaGints in the divisional round and Memphis travels to play Chatham.
Congratulations to Norfolk coach George Torres after a tough loss! Torres turned the Neptunes around from a 2-14 season last year and an 0-4 start to this season!
