Going for it on fourth down certainly is an option, but then again so is playing defense!

Tommy Touchdown!
You've seen him huck a touchdown today, but now look at his ground game as Flacco gets some great blocking and scampers in to make it 14-3.
Oh, and Flacco ran for 57 yards earlier in the drive. pic.twitter.com/0w6JWr2pfX

Towson is really starting to make some buzz in the College Football world as they have moved up in the Top-25 rankings of the FCS. Towson moves up in STATS FCS Poll from their previous ranking of No. 25, to No. 23 and joins the AFCA FCS Coaches Poll for the first time since 2014, slotting at No. 24. The Tigers were right on the cusp of the coaches poll last week being the first bubble team.
