Nuanez Now

Colter Nuanez is back in the studio following one of the most unforgettable games in college football history.

The Cats are national champions after an absolutely unbelievable FCS National Championship—sealed by a go-ahead extra point in overtime. It was the first overtime game ever in FCS National Championship history, and it delivered drama until the very last kick.

Hear from Cats quarterback Justin Lamson and head coach Brent Vigen as they relive a championship finish for the ages—breaking down the pressure, the decisions, and the moment that brought a title home.

You’ll also get the other side of the story, with perspective from the Redbirds. Players Tommy Rittenhouse and Tye Niekamp, along with head coach Brock Spack, reflect on the heartbreak, the fight, and a game that came down to inches.

Colter dives deep into the moments that defined it all—the calls, the chaos, and the emotion—unpacking one of the wildest championship games college football has ever seen.
