Miller turned and pitched the ball back to quarterback Camden Patterson. The Goblins (3-2, 1-1 5A West) should have been reading Job 3:25 where Job said, "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me," because Prairie Grove never intended to run the ball, facing second-and-12 from its own 32 after burning its final time-out with 25 seconds left and the score deadlocked at 40-40 in Friday's wild, wild 5A West football contest.
