5-0. That's what UT Permian Basin Football did this spring after defeating Midwestern State 22-21 in overtime on Saturday at Grande Communications Stadium.
 
Down by seven in overtime, the Falcons faced fourth-and-six when Brayden Thomas found Matt Zubiate for the touchdown and just an extra point from tying the game. The Falcons had other intentions, deciding to go for two and the win. Following a Mustang timeout, Thomas found Kobe Robinson near the pylon for the game-winner.
