Mateo Sudipo hit BYU with the troll wave after making an incredible game-saving tackle to give Coastal Carolina a 22-17 win over the Cougars on Saturday.
BYU and Coastal Carolina agreed to play late in the week after Liberty dropped out due to COVID issues. The matchup was between two 9-0 teams, and they treated fans to a great game. Neither team led by greater than six points as the contest remained a one-possession game the entire way.
BYU got the ball back at their 18 with under a minute to go down 22-17 and tried to drive for a touchdown to win the game. They got to the Coastal Carolina 18 and set up for a final passing play, which they completed before Sudipo tackled Dax Milne a yard shy of the goal line to end the game.
JUST. SHORT.

The two teams came together to treat fans to a special game that was appreciated by nearly everyone. The game got heated though, especially before halftime, so it’s no surprise to Sudipo pull off the troll move at the end.
