ERIE, Pa. - More national publicity for the Gannon football team and junior
Marc Jones (Painesville, Ohio/Riverside). The Golden Knights were listed No. 7 on the NCAA Plays of the Week released Monday evening. The top 10 list considered all sports at all levels of the NCAA.
The video clip courtesy of the Westmoreland Sports Network featured the Gannon offensive line opening a huge hole up the middle, before Jones races into the secondary. As the Seton Hill safety comes up to make the tackle, Jones leaps over the defender and lands on his feet before racing into the end zone for a 52-yard touchdown. The score was his fourth of the first half as the Golden Knights proceeded to post a 76-31 victory last Saturday at Seton Hill.
