It started innocently enough. Zac grabbed an early copy of EA Sports College Football 27 and fired it up with one mission: unlock the mascots. Hank jumped in, chose Tulane, and immediately went on a 16-0 run that had him tweeting about the 'upset of the century.' For a while, it genuinely looked like Hank's game.
Then Jeffrey happened. With Texas Tech deep in a hole, a fumble broke loose and player #23 did what no rational gamer would ever script: cartwheeled through traffic, scooped the ball, and took it to the house. Scoreboard went from 36-27 to 42-27 in a single chaotic play. That's not a comeback — that's a vibe shift. The 16-point Tulane lead was suddenly ancient history.
The cartwheel fumble recovery touchdown that swung the entire game — exactly as wild as it sounds.
Hank kept scrapping. Tulane clawed it back to 42-40 in the 4th quarter with the clock bleeding out — two possessions worth of football compressing into a genuine two-point thriller. That's the thing about CFB27's Mascot Mode: the cheese is always one bounce away from blowing up the scoreboard. Meanwhile, Will Compton was somewhere on the Bussin With The Boys bus declaring he had 'prepared his entire life for an opportunity like this,' which tracks perfectly for the energy this game was producing.
Zac seals Hank's fate — an interception at the 1-yard line with the game on the line.
Down 2 with under 30 seconds left, Hank drove to the doorstep of the end zone — and Zac picked him off at the 1. Texas Tech iced it from there. After Hank's dominant start, the whole thing flipped because of one cartwheel. Hank had one response: 'This was the softest thing I've ever seen.' No further questions.
