Watch: Louisiana Tech faces 3rd-and-93 after 87-yard loss

Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports

Ever seen a play result in an 87-yard loss?

How about a team facing third-and-93?

Well, thanks to a wild sequence in Saturday's Louisiana Tech-Mississippi State game, you've now seen both.

Faced with second-and-goal from Mississippi State's 6-yard line, Louisiana Tech's center snapped the ball well over the quarterback's head, kicking off an insane sequence that saw a number of players attempt to recover the fumble.

The ball traveled an absurd 87 yards before being recovered by Louisiana Tech, setting up third-and-goal - a distance of 93 yards.

After Boston Scott rushed for 21 yards, Louisiana Tech punted from their own 28 on fourth-and-goal.
