An unusual play put the Boxers in the national spotlight.

In this game, after a safety, Bryan Mills picked up the ball that was thought to be dead and ran the ball to the opposite end zone to score a rare two point defensive conversion.

The play was chosen by ESPN’s SportsCenter as the show’s Top Play of the Day.
