Funny thing is that the guy pops up after he is tackled by the Towson State players (why didn't they let him go?), he looks like he's ready to trash talk like he made some awesome play.

I'd say the two Towson players are even more boneheaded than the Kent State guy.

LOL the Kent State guy would have recovered the ball at like the Towson State 5 yard line or so (I guess you can't advance it from when you touch it). He basically brought the ball back to the original LOS. At least they got the ball back, I think.

I meant the two guys that tackled him. If they had let him keep going, they would have had 2 points and the ball.

Announcers and referees are stupid... Can't advance a muffed punt so the ball should have been dead as soon as he picked it up. Or maybe I'm stupid because he technically did not advance the ball.

Update (9:18 p.m.): It turns out the whole play was called off and the referees concluded they should have (as noted above) called the play dead. They ended up placing the ball at Towson's 7 yard line, meaning in one play both teams and the referees screwed up in some rather big way.

Yes, I know. That was just an additional comment.

key is to keep chasing him enough that he is motivated to keep going and doesn't think twice, but only make token efforts to tackle :beer:

A friend in NYC graduated from a school that regularly plays against Kent State.
His remark is:

"Can't read, can't write, Kent State."
