A recap of former Hilltoppers who played in NFL Preseason games on Thursday night...
MIKE WHITE, Dallas Cowboys
Took snaps as the third-string quarterback and went 6-of-11 for 63 yards, which included a long of 14. In all, he had passes of 14, 14, 11, 10, nine and five yards, with 3-of-6 completions going for first downs. White directed the final four drives of the game for the Cowboys, and almost orchestrated a game-tying effort before the final whistle.
After the San Francisco 49ers scored a touchdown to take a 24-21 lead with 18 seconds left, White and the Dallas offense took over at their own 25-yard line with two timeouts remaining. After three consecutive completions to bring the Cowboys to the 49ers 46-yard line with two seconds left, White's Hail Mary fell incomplete as time expired.
JACK DOYLE, Indianapolis Colts
Had one reception, a nine-yard pass from Andrew Luck on the final play of the first quarter. The tight end got a first down for the Colts on a 2nd & 8 situation, reaching the Seattle Seahawks' 37-yard line to set up an Adam Vinatieri 51-yard field goal four plays later.
TAYWAN TAYLOR, Tennessee Titans
Had one reception, a nine-yard pass from Blaine Gabbert late in the first quarter. The gain on 1st & 10 got the Titans to midfield on a drive that went into the Green Bay Packers red zone, eventually culminating in a 23-yard Ryan Succop field goal.
OMARIUS BRYANT, Los Angeles Rams
Assisted on a pair of tackles on the Rams' defensive line, going up against the Baltimore Ravens offense.
GEORGE FANT, Seattle Seahawks
Saw time at left tackle, making his 2018 debut less than one year after a season-ending injury during the 2017 preseason.
DARRELL WILLIAMS, JR., San Francisco 49ers
Saw time at left tackle, going up against the Dallas Cowboys defense.
DEON YELDER, New Orleans Saints
Saw playing time at tight end, but did not record a reception in the game.
