Video: Craziest play of season: Utah WR drops ball, Oregon returns it 99 yds

You are missing the point. He looked so cool dropping that ball and pounding his chest. Who cares that he caused a 14-point swing in the opposite direction. Its all about how you look. Good Job Utah!
 


I can't even imagine how made I'd be at a Gopher for that. How does this happen? What a wildly selfish play.
 


Every coach from Pop Warner to the NFL should show this video to their players. If you're going to put your team at risk to show off, you're a liability.
 

I have a question that a rules geek might be able to answer. The Oregon player who first touched it after the fumble came from out of bounds in the endzone to pick it up. I thought he was ineligible because he stepped out of bounds. Could someone clarify that rule?

Swag, right?
 

This is why you score and then hand the ball to the official. No chance for a mishap.

A player who goes out of bounds on offense can't be the first to come in and touch a forward pass.
 

It took 7 years, but that is finally a play that makes me feel not so bad about this one.

Guy will take a lot of heat, but he is a kid in a big moment and he made a mistake that he will have to live with for the rest of his internet watching life.


So I actually feel bad for him despite how bad of a play it was.

This play summed up the Brewster era quite well.

The reason I don't feel bad for him at all is because during his celebration in the endzone he points to his name on the back of his jersey in a complete ahole look at me sort of way. Well the good news is we all got to clearly read your name Mr. Clay and for years and years everyone can watch you showboating in the endzone while the other team runs back your bonehead play.

There's always one goody two-shoes in every group. You go ahead and feel sorry for him. I'll go on thinking he is a complete and total tool.
 


I would feel absolutely terrible at him, not frustrated with him if that was my teammate. Anyways I wonder who feels worse, this guy or the HS QB that cost his team a spot in the playoffs for fumbling the football after the clock hit zero thinking it was like a basketball game.

 

Question: 78 yards on offense, then 99 yards on defense. That has to be a world record for yardage traversed on a single play.
 


It's kind of amazing to me that coaches haven't instructed their players (at the college and the pro level) to run to the back line of the end zone before they do anything with the ball. It's not just Desean Jackson and this kid, Sammy Watkins held the ball up and decelerated and lost a fumble because of it a few weeks ago...this type of thing has happened probably a dozen times. I do think that most of us who have no idea what it's like to run that fast underestimate how hard it is for the player to judge exactly where they are letting the ball go. Pretty easy to say it's a fine (NFL) or a punishment (college) if your cleats don't touch the back line of the end zone before you let go of the football.

I've said similar to things like this before. How does this still happen? You would think that one cautionary tale would be enough to deal to make it never happen again. Why are players so concerned about themselves over their teammates that they are thinking about how to celebrate before they even get in the endzone?
 



It's shocking how idiotic some of these players can be.
