Bethlehem, Pa. Last minute drive saves Brown & White By MEGAN CULHANE South Mountaineer Editor With just over one minute left in last weekend's game, Towson State quarterback Chris Goetz threw up a 26- yard pass that connected with Mike Smith to pull the Tigers ahead 22-21. It looked as if Lehigh was about to swallow its third loss of the season. But looks were deceiving as the Brown and White pulled out a 27-22 win in the last minute of Saturday's game. Quarterback Jim Harris (Manlius, N.Y.) will probably remember it as the longest 60 seconds of his life. It was, in fact, a 73-yard, six play drive that took Lehigh coast-to-coast for a vital touchdown with twelve seconds to play - a score that pulled the team from a one-point deficit, to victory. For freshman wide receiver Rich Clark (Tunkhannock, Pa.) - who was credited with the score - it was the first touchdown of his collegiate career. " It just gets better as it goes on," head coach Hank Small said after the game. "I've seen other guys do it (pull out a last minute win) as an assistant coach, but I've never been able to be the one on the side of the field, and thats a great feeling." With quarterback Mark McGowan (Essex Fells, N.J.) conspicuously absent from the Lehigh lineup - the result of a severe knee injury in the Holy Cross game - backup QB Harris had some big shoes to fill. After surrendering two interceptions to Tiger free safety Bryant Hall (Hall's fourth steal of the year) and Chris Ginakes in the first half, Lehigh retired to the lockerroom in a 10-0 hole. Although Harris owned an impressive 122 passing yards, those two interceptions blotched the stat book. "I tried to prevent what happened in the first half, but the rustiness showed," Harris reflected after the game. "A win's a win, but tomorrow I'm going to wake up and just get on myself for playing the way I did. I just had a lot of receivers that should have 20t the ball more. The running choices I had, I could have made some better selections." But in the face of adversity, Harris won the battle.
