Long had to sit out most of the second half with cramps but came back late in the fourth quarter for the game-winning touchdown. "This is a big win for us; I'm so glad we could pull this out," said Panthers running back Long. "I didn't know I could go back in late in the game due to cramping up, but once I saw that we had a chance, I just had to suck it up and get back in with my teammates. We just kept fighting, we came in with a different game plan, and it made a difference tonight." The junior running back has all the tools to play at the next level. There is the significant speed in the open area, and he has no problem running between the tackles or around the ends. Long does an excellent job of protecting his quarterback in pass protection and catching the ball out of the backfield. Long can break a tackle with his size and has a lot of experience being a two-year starter for the Panthers. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AL7AFootball/status/1570751987695878150?s=20&t=LHnWOFY2Omsh1dpb7X10hw </div></figure>   <p><strong>LB #30 Jerrell Goodlow (6-0 205) Jr.</strong> - On a fourth down play, linebacker Jerrell Goodlow met QB [player_tooltip player_id='131922' first='Rayshawn' last='Hardy'] in the hole up the middle and stopped the Patriots just inches from a first down.

This means a lot for us to give us a chance for the playoffs and to change the culture of this team." Goodlow had 16 tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, and was all over the field making plays. Along with the last stop of the game, he made another fourth-down stop to snuff out a Patriots drive earlier in the game.
