When the 2015 college football season began, we knew it was just a matter of time before a lineman did his best impression of a position player and became the first entry in the race for the Piesman Trophy. But where would this first play come from? Arkansas? Baylor? Notre Dame?
The Piesman Trophy race began where we all thought it would: Kennesaw State
Lineman Nick Perrotta scored on this pick six and became the first eligible contender for SB Nation’s brand new trophy.
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. The correct answer: Kennesaw State. In the first college football game the program’s EVER played, Nick Perrotta jumped this screen pass and ran it back for six points.
Think of all the schools that had decades of prep and history on Kennesaw State that STILL got beaten to the Piesman punch. Time to step it up, traditional football powers. Otherwise, it’s gonna be an all-Owl party in December.
