Redlands Football wins double overtime thriller at California Lutheran

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The University of Redlands football team (5-2, 3-2) led California Lutheran University (CLU) 17-3 in the fourth quarter before conceding 14 points in the final 6:09, but they would take down the Kingsmen in double overtime, 30-24.

The Bulldogs' 17 points came off a 34-yard field goal from Kadyn Butcher, a 1-yard rushing touchdown by Jakai Torres, and an eight-yard touchdown reception by Julian Borrayo from quarterback Tobey Schmidt.

That touchdown pass to Borrayo came with 14:44 on the clock in the fourth quarter. The Bulldog defense backed it up forcing a turnover on downs at their 49 yard line.

The following Redlands possession, though, went three-and-out in less than two minutes which set up a five-minute CLU touchdown drive.

Another three-and-out by the Bulldogs gave the Kingsmen the ball at their 37 with 3:31 to work with. That would be enough for them as they tied it at 17 with 44 seconds left.

Redlands got the ball back and decided to kneel it out and head to overtime.

In overtime CLU scored after getting the ball first. Redlands then responded with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Schmidt to Borrayo.

In the second overtime the Bulldogs got the ball first and got a first down after two plays thanks to a nine-yard reception by Julian Walker and a three-yard run by Donovan Maxey-Parler.

Following a holding on CLU, Torres rushed up the middle for four yards on first and goal. Then on third and eight Schmidt missed his target Walker, but a pass interference gave them a first down at the two-yard line. The very next play Torres got into the end zone. In the second overtime no point after tries (PAT) are allowed so they went for two and were unsuccessful, giving the Kingsmen a chance to end it with the ball.

On third-and-seven for CLU they threw the ball to the five-yard line where Skye Taylor sealed the win with his second interception of the game as the Bulldogs moved into a tie for first place in the division with CLU.

Redlands plays their final road regular season game of the season next Saturday, November 1 as they take on the University of La Verne at 1 p.m.
