Houston Baptist football: Huskies patience paying off with strong early returns

Dreshawn Minnieweather had just plowed across the end zone from one-yard out last Saturday night to bring Houston Baptist within one-point of South Dakota at 52-51 with 1:14 remaining in regulation.

From the outside, it seemed that HBU head coach Vic Shealy had a decision to make. Would Shealy call the safe play and kick the extra-point or would he take a gamble and try for a two-point conversion and the win? The decision would not be an easy one for any head coach, but the decision has even higher stakes when your team has not defeated an FCS team since Sept. 7, 2017.
