Seth Adrian pushed a Morningside player into punter Colton Irlbeck, forcing a deflected kick that enabled the Vikings to start its first series of the second half at the Morningside 5. Grand View took a 28-21 lead early in the third quarter. Bennett Spry had seven receptions for 109 yards that included a 10-yard TD catch. Johnny Sullivan completed 19 of 40 passes for 283 yards with two touchdowns but had two interceptions in the second half for Grand View (14-1). Yet on the ensuing series, the Vikings didn't pick up a first down when running back Ali Scott was stuffed for a loss on fourth-and-1 at their 29.Ĭarter split the uprights on his second attempt, a 26-yard field goal with 1:10 to play.

Morningside, leading 35-28 with 4:51 remaining, looked to put the game away but Chase Carter’s 32-yard field-goal attempt just missed wide right. He scored all three touchdowns runs from inside the 8-yard line. Sims was also a first team NAIA All-American selection and finished with 145 yards on 27 carries.
