Description
Augustana football coach Jerry Olszewski looks back at his Vikings' 18-point fourth quarter comeback to beat rival Sioux Falls last Saturday, especially the heroics of true quarterback Rich Lucero and the decision to pull the true freshman's redshirt to start pivotal "Key to the City" rivalry game on the road.
"Coach OJ" walks through Lucero's recruitment out of Arizona, his impressive week of practice after learning he'd get the start, and how Lucero handled himself and led the Vikings with an 18-point deficit. The freshman guided three scores in the final 12 minutes, starting with a 99-yard touchdown drive to pull off an emotional win in one of the more memorable games in the rivalry's history.
