Although it looks like both teams AND the crew screwed the pooch here, the box score indicates crew got it right after the play anyway.

Other than not blowing it dead, it looks like the crew got it right.

Do you think they didn't blow it dead because they were laughing to hard?  LOL

I was wondering why the heck Towson was trying to tackle the guy, personally...

So was the Towson coach who gave his guy the 5th degree after the play ended

A Kent State punt deflected a Towson player, meaning that it was a fumble and a live ball.

The only people more likely to be wrong on rules than print media are color commentators.

And this is why part of my pre-snap routine on scrimmage kicks includes saying to myself "White is receiving team" 3 times.

REPLY: I thought i was the only lunatic who did that. You know they probably let that continue simply because that was the direction they expected the ball to go.
