MCKENZIE, Tenn. -- Rhys Barnhart looked down at his jersey and chuckled to himself at the irony.
  No. 39 then kicked a 39-yard field goal to lift the University of Saint Francis to a 30-27 win over fourth-ranked Bethel College on Saturday in one of four NAIA Football Championship Series games.
  "I was kickin' them from 50 in warm-ups, so I really felt good a about the winner," Barnhart said. "I wasn't sure about itat first, but knew it was going in when I could see it hookin' to the left."
  USF, the No. 5 seed and ranked team in the orginal 16-team field, expected to be playing Carroll College in one of two NAIA FCS Semifinal games next Saturday in Helena, MT. The Cougars, 11-1 and winners of eight straight games, was to learn of its next opponent officially on Sunday.
  The Cougars had vaulted in front 27-13 in the second half after holding a 17-14 halftime lead. BC, which finished 11-2, roared back on a pair of Terrance Bell touchdown runs to tie the game at 27 with 1:36 to play in the fourth quarter. USF lineman Joe Piwoszkin blocked the extra point attempt by Matt Wininger.
  The Cougars toyed with field goal position, but it appeared the game was destined for overtime when the Wildcats tackled Taylor Vieck at the BC 24 as time ran out. Officials called BC for a facemask penalty.
USF coach Kevin Donley called for the field goal team and after BC called two timeouts attempting to ice Barnhart, he booted the game-winner with five feet to spare to the right angle.
  Media attending the game named USF QB Jeff Wedding offensive Player of the Game and USF DB Sam Miles defensive Player of the Game.
  "Rhys is the man who deserves this award," Wedding said afterwards.
Barnhart, a North Side High School grad, also kicked a 34-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 36-yard field goal in the third quarter.
  "I heard '39-yard field goal attempt' on the PA before they called the first timeout and sorta laughed at the irony," Barnhart said before he ended a game that had six lead changes. "The timeouts actually helped me get focused."
  His kick also ended BC's 10-game winning streak while giving USF its first road win in six games in the NAIA FCS on the road. It also gave USF its first win in Tennessee after three straight NAIA FCS championship Game losses in Savannah, Tenn.
  Wedding finished 14-for-26 passing for 190 yards, threw a TD pass for 18 yards to zach Rainey in the second quarter and scored a 4-yard TD on a run at the end of the first half that gave the Cougars a 17-14 lead.
  Daniel Carter broke loose on a 54-yard TD sprint pushing USF's lead to 24-14 with 8:28 in the third quarter. Carter led USF rushing with 93 yards on nine carries.
  Barnhart made it 27-14 with his 36-yard field goal with 2:12 to play in the third quarter.
  Bell scored on a 3-yard run slashing the USF lead to 27-21 with 6:51 to play in the fourth quarter. Then he dashed practically untouched to the game-tying TD, a 30-yard sprint with 1:36 left in the game.
