Oscar Smith cannot quite run the clock out as Christopher Billingslea sacks Lonnie Andrews III for a loss of 6 on third down, but the clock continues to tick towards 3:09 to go in regulation when a time-out is burned.
The Tigers had that possession begin with 7:24 left, so they were able to chew some clock before punting it away.
Xavier Clark, the Kempsville transfer, nearly returns a punt 61 yards for Indian River... but he will still get credited with about a 38-yard return we think. However, it's not the case as a roughing the kicker penalty on the Braves proves lethal as it gives the Tigers a fresh set of downs with the opportunity to put this one on ice.
The Tigers now have it at their own 35 with 2:33 to go in regulation.
