Field goal? Defense says no way

Ohio drives forward 32 yards on a series of flanks and screens. With 2nd and 8 from the 10-yard-line, Malcolm Arrington lets an interception go by the wayside.

On 3rd and 8, Sherrick McManis steps up to make a strong ankle tackle, forcing Ohio into a 27-yard field goal attempt. No....chance. John Gill rises up to block the attempt, returned by McManis to the 36-yard-line.

When was the last time NU blocked a field goal? September 2nd, 2004 against TCU - Demetrius Eaton made the play.
