(PTH photos)
Fourth and inches from just outside the Marshall five
yard line; Owls line up in the shotgun: Thor gets the snap..

...he appears to have just enough room to squeeze in for
the necessary yardage; he needs to get just inside the yard marker...

...Marshall's Spillman and Kitchens make a nice stop, but Thor's submarined them; you can
see that his elbow is already across the yard marker -- that means he's made the line to
gain...

...but Marshall defenders edge him to the turf about a foot behind where his forward
progress took him, and his spot on the ground is where the ball was spotted -- not his
forward progress

Down 24-0, Chase takes matters into his own hands....

...and zips around right end for the touchdown from 20 yards out
