Rams stopped in the sweet 16
Late surge not enough for Newton to overcome 4th quarter deficit
1122Rams
After everything, injuries, penalties, bad plays on defense, miscues on offense last year’s Cinderella team, Newton, was nine yards away from tying the game at 31 and eight yards away from a first down with 3:34 to play on fourth down. It was a called pass play, but senior quarterback Romario Johnson didn’t see anybody open so he pulled it and ran left. He cut and ran toward the marker, a defender met Johnson before he got to the marker and he was tackled one yard short of the first.
