Late-Game Heroics by Geno Smith Lead Seahawks to Second Straight Win

Oops, Geno Smith did it again. That’s right, the WVU legend led the Seahawks yet another win thanks to late-game heroics in the final minutes on Sunday.

Seattle beat the Carolina Panthers 37-27, but won the fourth quarter by just one point, 15-14. Smith threw a touchdown pass to Jake Bobo with just over four minutes left in the game to seal the win.
